I suspect the engine is not running on any fuel source but perhaps compressed air? There is no oil in the lower portion of the engine, no heat detected from the exahust or smoke. Even with a diesel you need a glow plug for fuel ignition and there was none of that in the film.

I was amazed but all of the machining operations necessary ..that and the parts fabrication of non machined parts. I wonder if the guy had a giant pile of mistakes somewhere?

My Italian is a little rusty but does the facts page say there were 222 screws used?

An amazing work and labor of love as you say Niel! Thanks..
