If Millyard built it it isn't a real KH500.

Here's a look at the curved engine, it was a four cylinder with curved bores, don't know any more about it or its application, fascinating though



Seems it was an Enfield prototype

Grandad how would they bore and hone the cylinders?

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

With some limited very limited experience odd numbers of cylinders seem to balance out very well as there is no directly force opposing As is this why radial engines are odd numbers even 18 cyclinder radial is 2 banks of 9 But I sure someone here can enlighten me

Radial engines are different from horizontal engines in the crank system is entirely different. Here is what WIKI has to say about it.

It'd make a far better Boat anchor than a Coffee Table, (In My Opinion) I don't have a very High Opinion of those V4 (under)Powered Transit Vans..
