Review: Engine assembly - Some of the screws strip out very easily so loctite would be a good suggestion. Plus the solder connections on the battery were weak and I had to resolder them.

## Features

- Wonderfully Detailed Model: Our V8 engine model kits feature genuine precision-cast and machined parts in anodized aluminum and stainless steel. Each piece is accurate, detailed and directly correlates to assemblies found in modern, high-performance automobile engines. This is a superb introduction into engineering and mechanics.
- Complete Accessories: The kit contains over 500 parts. Each finely-crafted part is labeled, and packaged in custom foam carriers to ensure they are organized, complete, and undamaged. A clear, full-color instruction manual is included. While the engine is complex, step-by-step instructions – along with some patience – ensure excellent results.
- Simulation Model: A real electric motor inside the starter motor housing drives the V8 engine through its 4-stroke process. The crankshaft, rods and pistons can be observed through special viewing windows. The intricate valve-trains atop the engine, as well as chains, pullies and accessories on the front, demonstrate the coordination among all the moving parts. Even when not in motion, it is an impressive machine to see.
- Excellent Learning Activity: This kit is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 14, due to its small parts. However, it provides a great opportunity for adults to spend time with children. The child will learn to understand and follow illustrated instructions, manipulate parts and basic tools, and to know the accomplishment of a job well-done. It fosters an appreciation for the ingenuity in today’s technology as well as the need for it in coming generations.
- Applicable age:14+

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A heavy all-metal V8 engine with gorgeous realism
*by R***N on 30 November 2025*

This kit is an elaborate scale model of a V8 Internal Combustion Engine with 32 valves, chain-driven overhead camshafts, and surprising mechanical fidelity. It will make any pistonhead or engineer salivate like my dog at dinner time. Once assembled, the engine is roughly the size of a large grapefruit and weighs a whopping 3 kg (7.5 pounds). This is not a Lego-style kit with minecraft-level pixelation. Instead, this looks and turns like a real ICE engine. Build Quality and Materials Everything is metal. Not “plastic painted to look like metal,” but actual anodized aluminum in multiple colors, with clean castings, no burrs, and no toy-like shortcuts anywhere. Real engines use plastic parts these days, but this display model doesn't. It’s metal all the way down. The ~50 major parts go together with hundreds of tiny screws. The screws come in more sizes than is reasonable, and they’re not always labeled clearly, but at least the kit includes plenty of extras. My box had no missing pieces. I ended up with a whole pile of leftover screws, presumably in case someone sneezes mid-assembly. Mechanical Accuracy This is where the kit earns its hefty price tag. It looks and behaves like the original. The eight pistons move realistically, the four camshafts operate the valves with proper springs and adjustable caps, and the chain-drive is not just decorative. Even components you can’t see once the block is closed are built with real mechanical function. The water pump even has a tiny internal turbine, which is a ridiculous amount of effort for a part no one will ever notice. I appreciated that. There are a few omissions: there is no carburetor or fuel injectors, no wiring harness, and no coolant circuit beyond that decorative pump. For a display model, the amount of working mechanism and realism is still impressive. Operation Once assembled, the engine runs via a small battery-powered electric motor from a small rechargeable battery. The movement is smooth, the pistons and valves dance properly, and watching the whole mechanism cycle is deeply satisfying. Sadly, the little electric motor itself is loud and has an unpleasant sound. I wish it was possible to turn the crankshaft by hand. Building Experience Expect 4 hours of assembly if you have some Modeling or engineering background. For novices this would be quite difficult to build successfully. The manual contains only terse sentences and drawings. You’ll spend a decent chunk of time puzzling over and deciphering which screws go where. The parts fit together beautifully, almost perfectly. I hit only one genuine design flaw: the overhead camshafts wouldn’t rotate freely because the travel of certain valves interfered with the motion. After disassembling the top end a few times, I eventually spotted the bushings restricted travel. Once I removed all 32 of them, everything ran smoothly. Mildly annoying, but solvable. The other modification I made was removing the oil pan to expose the gorgeous crankshaft underneath. It would be a pity to leave this detail hidden in the dark. Final Verdict This is likely the nicest Internal Combustion Engine display model you can buy. It’s extremely solid and heavy, mechanically faithful, gorgeous in metal, and endlessly satisfying to both build and watch. It’s also about 500 dollars, so it’s not an impulse buy, nor is it suitable for a kid. The instruction manual misses a great educational opportunity by explaining nothing about the engine's function. For anyone who loves engines or is interested in the intricate operation of machines, this display model kit is a miniature mechanical treat.
