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.

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

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!

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.

Half are below 3 stars

That's very cool. And it all screws together, which will be way easier for kids than gluing.

[hvymtl]

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

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!

They were on display at IHOBBY

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.
