I know I'm late to the party, but I couldn't agree more.  Not only is that engine a joy to watch in action from a design perspective, but your craftsmanship is first rate.  Here is certainly something of which to be proud!

Also late to the party, but glad I came!

Masterful work and a beautiful engine.

If I ever get to anywhere near this standard, I'll be overjoyed.
