Is this a HST V8 from the X class and by extension the infamous Co-Bo?

[@andrewsmart2949]

@@dave13dc i thought it was,but it appears to have 6 cyl down the side shown,could be the V12 version of HST

Love the exhaust making like a dragon!

[@SteamboatWilley]

I think a more permanent/solid exhaust pipe may have to be installed. :D

Can you tell us more about this engine (model, year built, where did it come from?, tech specs)?

[@Roadster1940]

Great to see your first smokey start up. Your engine (130541) was first sold to the Anglo American Oil Co on 31 July 1940! - Info obtained from records held at the Anson Engine Museum. Looking forward to see it run again.
