Cool!
I wonder what the smallest commercially available, "real" diesel is (not the glowplug r/c stuff)?

Looking at the cam drive gears, which seem to be the same size on the cams and the crank, I think it is a two stroke pump, not truly an engine.
Here is one I like.

And by pump you mean air motor?
It would have been nicer to see that little thing scream and blow smoke, but still beautiful work.

two stroke suck-blow, pumps one way runs as an air motor the other way. They used to take V8 engines and change the camshaft so half of the engine had two lobes on the camshaft, thus creating a pump out of half of the engine.
Now you could call it an engine if it was powered by steam since that is a generally accepted term for describing steam "engines". There are many of these miniature motor-engines-pumps built by modelers world wide and the are fantastic miniature machines.

Here's my favorite.
It's a 1/6 scale Duesenberg SJ Project
Not only did this guy build the running engine that went into this project he also built the transmission, rear end, front end components, chassis, body and interior.
His new project is a 12cyl. boat.
Check it out.

This guy is a true craftsman...
