I built a V8 model car engine earlier this year from a kit.
It's mostly see through plastic so when it turns you see how the valves and cams work together.
There are two distributers all timed up exactly as a real one and plug leads to little LED's like spark plugs.
There is an electric motor in the gear box to run it and I have set it all up to run just as a proper V8.
It's about ten inches long and I had my fun out of making it.
If anybody who had a youngster who is seriously interested in cars this is ideal for them to learn.
There is an instruction book and a tool to hold the cams and crank when you time it. Batteries included.

I will give it to anybody who wants it as an educational toy.
Please don't take it for profit or if you aren't interested in engines.
