Definatly a car engine - check out the left side drive case,that's covering a bellhousing mount and car clutch/torque converter.Most likely a French engine,they make some small diesel turbo's,or maybe a VW if it's German.

The sump's got me puzzled alright,that's a lot of work,but then that big left case is some work too.Special cover over the crank nose where the belt pulley goes and a cambelt drive cover - but that sump looks factory,not a pattern someone carved out of a piece of polystyrene.

I'm no linguist but it looks like Dutch to me. Apparently it's a race bike. From the startwin.com pages:

De meeste mensen die op de Ducaticlub race en de Motorrai 2004 zijn geweest zal het niet zijn ontgaan. We zijn de afgelopen jaren in het diepste geheim bezig geweest met het ontwerpen van een Diesel Motor. Dus even concreet een motor met een dieslemotor!! Snapt u het nog?

Ondertussen heeft het project in diverse kranten en nationale en internationale motormagazines gestaan en hebben we zelfs het journaal gehaald.

Bent u ook zo onder de indruk? Kijk dan alle specs van deze woeste diesel racer in PDF.

Het mag nu duidelijk zijn dat we meer kunnen als motoren verkopen!! Heeft u woeste plannen voor een mooi project? Kom dan eens langs in Loenen en we helpen u met de uitvoering van uw plan.
