The V8 engine is a very classic and heirloom engine, and today we are going to build a v8 engine model kit with over 660+ parts!
The First Section
We took out our v8 block and after lubricating the block and crankshaft joints, we put the crankshaft into the block and put the crankshaft bearings in place to hold it in place.
The Second Section
Will v8 engine's 8 piston connecting rod and piston in turn for connection, and then put the installed piston into the cylinder body, with the crankshaft bearing to fix the piston on the crankshaft connecting rod, this step is more critical, the crankshaft bearing's call out top screws must be tightened! Do the above link, we need to turn the crankshaft by hand, if it does not turn, you need to check the wrong steps in the above link. Finally, then install the oil pan on the bottom of the block.
The Third Section
Remove the cylinder head and spark plugs, install the 8 spark plugs and 32 intake and exhaust valves in order on the cylinder head, and then install the valve seat on the cylinder head, after fixing the two structures, place the camshaft on the valve seat, please note that the camshaft position needs to be lubricated.
The Fourth Section
Install the 4 cam sprockets on the crankshaft in order L and R, RL and RR Please note that it is a correct position to put L and R together. Then install the exhaust pipe on the cylinder head.
The Fifth Section
Mounts the timing chain on the cam sprocket and secures the chain with chain guide blocks. Install each of the six guide wheels and connect them with a rubber band to enable synchronised operation!
The Sixth Section
Mount the intake manifold on top of the block and install the motor and other parts. Then connect the master controller power to the drive motor switch, at which point we can activate the switch and watch this v8 engine model run!
As a conclusion, this v8 engine model has more than 600+ parts (of course, this includes bearings, screws and other small parts), which simplifies and restores most of the parts of a real v8 engine, it not only lets you experience the fun of assembling, but also lets us have an in-depth study on the structure and working principle of a v8 engine. The complete assembly process is around 6-10 hours, add it to your weekend plan now!
