Is that a spark plug, or a glow plug perhaps, as is used on four stroke RC airplane engines? Still a four stroke, but once running, fires on compression heat as any diesel?

Bonjur Jin,
Another very nice engine indeed, but are you sure it is a diesel ? I would think it is another 4 stroke engine because a diesel has no spark plug, it has a pre heater fuel then works on compression.

This is a micro engine model, M15. It is a diesel engine as a design sample. It is made of brass and stainless steel. The main body formed by precision casting. It is connected with a double balance shaft to work. In order to reduce the running resistance of the parts, this small body is equipped with 8 precision bearings.
