IDI's are worthless

I guess the lesson from that video is that if you don't worry about reliability, and you can get the fuel and the air in there, you can really make it go. I want to know "the rest of the story" though. Did that engine survive the run? Headgaskets? Melt anything? We won't seem to ever know.

With the exception of it running on when he wanted to shut it down, why is it a reliability issue?

That's a guess on my part. Like I said earlier, we don't have any facts about what happened, or what the condition of the motor was after the run.
