I think I'm a Continental C90 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_O-200
Not very powerful or fast, makes a lot of noise, air cooled, needs frequent overhauls and not as reliable as, say, a Lycoming.....

I love UK_Elephant's description of a steam engine! I can relate! I don't glisten, I sweat profusely. And chocolate is a major food group. Good one!
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)
