Danno Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's hot! I loved the Visible V-8 I built as a pre-teen . . . and I learned a lot about the operation of a car's engine. It's great to see the concept updated, especially since the original VV8 is such a dated design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Looks like a Ford Romeo- or at least based on that? Cool! There's also a 4-cylinder if that's your preference. http://www.amazon.com/Haynes-Build-Internal-Combustion-Engine/dp/B006H4JEQO/ref=pd_sim_t_1/189-8515608-5956524?ie=UTF8&refRID=14RSHPCPPD4V8FZQGB0W Charlie Larkin Edited March 13, 2014 by charlie8575 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wow…. way cool! Nice to see a new take on an old idea. The overhead cam is a nice contemporary update even though the engine is as basic & generic as can be. This is a good instructional aid. Nice find, thanks for sharing!

FASTBACK340 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The reviews on the four cylinder aren't very good though. I think the assembler might have to be taken into account too. If your assembling this as an educational tool, that means you need education in using tools and following instructions also. I wouldn't take a negative review as the final word.

hpiguy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 That's very cool. And it all screws together, which will be way easier for kids than gluing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvymtl Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Heads get screwed to deck means more compression oh lets pray at the altar of the mighty hi compression piston and insanely large cam what sweet music LMAO Now where is my dial indicator kit and torque wrench Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Screws/Bolts Together! HEY Aftermarket, how's about some Bolt On Speed Equipment!, Turbo's, Supercharger, Duel Quads, Webers, Headers, etc. Just think of it, a Dynamic Display Kit. Getting tired of the Stock Engine add a Supercharger. Bored with that, how's 'bout Webers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it is a cam in head, as it has rockers. Overhead cam engines usually do not have rocker arms. I know, it confuses me too.
