Last weekend was the annual street fair in my home town.
Though I no longer take in the festivities, I did go to the local "den" where past alumni of our now closed high school gather to reminisce.
While walking back to the car, I saw two carnival rides powered by four cylinder Ford gasoline industrial engines of the 50s, 60s, early 70s vintage. Not sure if 134, 172 or 192 CI.
When small, I well remember the operators repetitively gunning the engine before backing off to make the cars on the Tilt-a-Whirl spin better.
Both engines were performing as designed without smoke or oil leakage.
