Don't be surprised when Harbor Freight goes racing like Red Bull or Haas.

Green font implied, but nothing would surprise me ever again. God knows, they've made nothing but money the last twenty five years or so.

I don't see why they (Harbor Freight) will not eventually end up in F1.

Like their tools (built for one job), will this engine be built for one race?

Edit: Can you turbo it?

I'll wait till they start selling water cooled diesel engines before making those claims. I bet they will sooner than later.

I have seen several on line the size of a brigs or honda but air cooled diesels
and cheap 2 to 400 mostly but selling a 100 units lots

there are some china water cooled sail boat sized units 10 to 50 hp but 80% of euro or jap prices

I would love an aircooled diesel to power an outboard for cheap

Our kart club used to have a class for Honda and Chinese clones before we adopted the Briggs LO206 as our 4 stroke engine. There is a crazy amount of aftermarket hop up parts available for the Chonda engines. We ran one in an endurance race and it was about double the HP of a stock Briggs LO206.

If a company that sells stupid sugar
and caffeine drinks to yahoos with more
money than brains can go racing then
certainly, a company that sells tools
can too
