This is one set of camshaft and rockers of the incredibly complete and preserved Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, that was recently recovered from the ground more than 75 years after crashing, during the Second World War.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin is a British liquid-cooled V-12 piston aero engine of 27-litres (1,650 cu in) capacity. Rolls-Royce designed the engine and first ran it in 1933 as a private venture. Initially known as the PV-12, it was later called Merlin following the company convention of naming its piston aero engines after birds of prey.
