Extremely Realistic Micro OHV V8 Sounds Amazing! 

Jeez, they cost as much as a 2nd hand large engine.

What Up Johnny 🤘 you're here also wanting to put a V8 on your 🚲 😂

@@michaelbrinks8089 hell yes, lol

It better come with all the extra stuff for 789 dollars

Didint expect to see u here 😂

I dont give a sht

Small engines for model cars and boats etc have been around many decades, but this one is the most detailed I've ever seen. They usually have some kind of workaround for some of the small components etc, and many have heat plugs instead of actual spark plugs.

@@HalfdeadRider Be careful when purchasing a kit. I bought one that was in a "sale" and the only assembly was putting the rubber band on the badly painted lump of plastic that arrived. What to buy a paper weight? 🤣

@@DugatDizzyLizzys gutted, sometimes it is a blessing being skint 😂

Gotta search for mini MERLIN V12 . Lol

You can buy a real direct injected v8 engine for that price.

@@salmahyenasashimicheetah6888 if you are buying a running V8 engine for 3,000 that engine has got to be clapped out. J that engine would have had to have been used and very abused. That sounds like you were trying to order a V8 engine off wish or Temu.

You can buy an actual v8 that makes a good amount of power for 3k. These kits are absurdly overpriced

Same.

@@christrembly4262 That's like saying "why buying $3k gold chain when you can buy (for that money) full size chain that is strong enough to tow Boeing 747". It does make sense - if you want/need to tow Boeing 747. Full disclosure: I don't have the slightest idea how much the chain which is strong enough to tow 747 costs.

The engine is $2000 and it's honestly a good price. You can't compare an old, used and mass produced roadcar engine to something like this. These little engines are CNC milled from billet aluminum and have 3d printed stainless parts. There are probably thousands of hours in design, and hundreds of hours of manufacturing total for each engine. Low volume production with many people involved using some very expensive machinery. If these were made in the US they would probably cost $10.000+ with all the hours involved. It's like comparing an old, used Ikea wall clock from Craigslist to a brand new Rolex.

@@NorwayVFX found the Cison rep

@@Sun-ut9gr Nah I just have common sense.

Just say you don't have money to buy this. Your comment makes me assume you are cheap and broke.

@@NorwayVFX Yeah, both of you are right. This is an incredible kit, and the machining necessary to produce it is actually probably a lot more precise and challenging than that used to produce full scale engines, given the tiny scale and tolerances to everything. That said, it *is* more expensive than many real engines, and given the choice, I'd take a real one. More fun when you can be in the car it's moving. The market for these is true hobbyists like JohnnyQ90 and people with more money than they know what to do with.

Super sick 😮

i actually thought it would use glow plugs

​@@HH-fh4dsit's gasoline, not diesel.

@@OneTruePhreak rc engines usually run on nitro, it doesnt need spark plugs

I was expercting glow plugs. Seeing that it used spark plugs was the icing on the cake for me.

@@grahamjgreen Same here was expecting glow not actual plugs

Glow plugs are for diesel engines. Am I missing something? Just and old school mechanic from the late 80's and early 90's.

these little engines cause global warming, you can make a electric motor out of any china product for a couple dollars

@@hanc37nitro engines rely on a glow plug and compression ignition the same as a diesel.

I skipped

so, what is keeping you from doing it? Because the more time you spend on commenting on videos like these (which i am guilty of myself) the less time you have left on this planet to fulfill your dreams.

Yeah it looks extremely realistic. 👍

3d printed

@@drxym i know

Yeah it is and damn it sounded good when it was in those paper rolls😂

It's a pretty standard set of long tube headers

@@boss9mustang404 you dont kow much about scale engines do you

Yes I really like the fact it has proper pressure fed bearings. Bit concerned that there didn't seem to be any oil reaching the rockers and valves though.

​@ferrumignis agree, no oil to the valve train is concerning. Rod bearings would be nice too.

@@ferrumignis unfortunately, it doesn't look like they are pressure fed. I can't see any passage for it to get there while under pressure. The oil pipe that's installed above the camshaft looks like it's only supplying oil to each cam lobe to lubricate them and the lifters. For the valve train - in the build manual there is an optional add on of oil to the head. There's a port at the center of the rear of each head (visible at 9:35) which looks like it connects to an outlet that is between each valve pair and the hold down screw for the rocker shaft (visible 9:16). The rocker shaft has a hole that lines up with each of these holes. It looks like you run another tube from the oil pump to the rear of the heads

@@TEDodd it looks like the rods are possibly made of a similar material to the main bearings, but yeah separate rod bearings would be cool

While we're on the topic of the oiling system, he missed showing installing the oil pick up tube. At 5:31 you can see an untapped hole beside the rear main cap. This has a tube pushed into it that goes down into the sump. From there, I assume it goes straight into the oil filter. But I can't quite figure out how oil gets from the filter to the oil pump - I think there may be a passage drilled from the front of the block to the rear where the oil filter outlet is. The oil pump inlet looks like it would then join into that passage and I think a bung is inserted into the passage at the very front of the block - visible at 5:31

I second this!! This would be freaking awesome

I seen a blown v8 on an rc boat here on YT a few months back.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9DYIJvHKOec.htmlsi=5sbMhg1Qle-saU7B

That would be really cool to make like a ~1/6 scale Cigarette speed boat or something.

I've tried twice to link the blown v8 rc boat and it gets taken down..

Aint the only 3d printed part here the exhaust and coolant pipe?

@@Mikiszub Yeah, the majority of the engine is CNC milled aluminium.

I think he said it as a reaction to the sponsored segment.

Not sure I'd call the invention of 3D printers a miraculous event. 🤨

Also the Intake manifold cannot be made by just milling.

Me too, Graham Perth Australia

@@grahamturnbull3815 Do you sign all your comments with your name and location?

Hi rise victor junior with a square walbro carry on top.

The Toyan twin scroll charger was garbage it made not improvement, so im skeptical that this would be any different with a charger too

Maybe you never saw a Conley?

Heads are still just greased I think but yeah I agree

@@miles11we heads have an optional add-on that pumps oil to them from the back. This looks like it then squirts oil out 4 ports in each head, just above the valves and thru the rocker shaft

Good idea

rail with a roots style blower add nitro meth

Such engine can power a go kart, I would love to watch it on a human manned vehicle.

Yes, if you build a dragster you will need to run it on nitro. 😃

These engines are nice models but not good power plants for a model. Your so much better off going with a nitro model engine, or "weed whacker" engine (in larger models), or electric for models. A Nitro car engine of only 3.5cc (0.21ci) displacement can produce upwards of 2 horsepower and weighs less than a pound (350g or so) giving it over 2hp per lb of mass. By comparison your typical electric e-bike is usually around 1hp. If model performance is not a factor and you want a visible, scale looking engine then sure, use one of these engines where the engine is a model in it's own right but for a good performing, reliable, usable model use the motors that are meant to power models.

it does sound like a minecraft bark lmao

What I want to say is, please read the instructions carefully, and you will have all the answers.

ya those valves are not gonna last! I was gonna say looks like this is finally a good kit engine. But those dry valves changed my mind

It does! There is an oil modification you can do to squirt oil into the valvetrain! I did it to mine to avoid metal on metal.

Same. I was thinking it should've been making a mess by now without the valve cover on it. Definitely not gonna last very long.

@@CmmdrKittywhere is that for sale?

@antonfloor344 no real sale on the oil mod. the back of the heads have a screw in the middle, adding those tiny L nipples to one bank and T brackets to the other bank and top of the oil pump. Will allow oil to be shot up to the valve train and drained down over the push rods and lifters. And still shoot oil onto the cam/crank. It's the first thing i added, knowing if i didn't, the rocker assembly would wear out REAL fast.

2,5 sea horses.

Hahaha sea horse good one!

And how much torque?

Search how LSX engine works (sorry for bad English)

I thought the same thing. I was watching him build it thinking that's a miniature LS. Wild.

I was thinking SBC or LS but yeah.

Thats a SBC not an LS.

Thats what I tought too, since is way too similar to LSX

I totally built at least a dozen or more flat head Fords in the 1950's. This has to be the coolest model out there.
