Product Description:

Short of the main bearings and piston rings, the model's 250 parts offer a realistic internal combustion engine building experience without all of the busted knuckles and the danger of heavy and sharp parts. Once assembled this 12" long model of a V8 engine actually runs and spark plugs animate the rotation using 3AA batteries (not included).

Publisher Description:

Big twin overhead cam V8 with all the thrills and sounds of a real engine. Lots of chrome and movable parts. Fan and pulleys. Light up cylinders.

Category Description for Build Your Own Haynes Engine Kits:

Short of getting a motor out of an old car, finding a set of mechanics tools, and donating a few days of clothes to the grease monster, the Haynes engine kits are still the best way to get hands on experience with how an engine works. Having personally rebuilt several engines, I have to say that the accuracy and detail is astounding, giving the builder the opportunity to discover what all the moving parts do in an engine. These models bridge the gap between mechanics books that talk about race cars and engines and actually working on one yourself. You'll develop a deeper appreciation all of an engine's components that work together to produce rotating force.

When is this coming back into stock?
Cyndi T on Nov 16, 2021
BEST ANSWER: These are currently on a long back order. The supplier has not been able to give us a date when we can expect them.
I have a Girl Scout troop, and they have Automotive badge that they can earn I’m wondering if this engine would be easy build for 2nd and 3rd graders with adult help?
A shopper on Sep 13, 2020
BEST ANSWER: My sixth grader and I built it together and he did most of the work, but he already knows engines pretty well. Might be a bit much for a second grader, but with heavy adult involvement should not be a problem.Lots of small screws. Best thing is that it will show them how an engine works. As a former cub scout leader, I can see this being a great learning tool for any scout troop.
do you have to glue parts together or is it a snap together?
A shopper on Nov 19, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It's actually neither gluing or snapping. The plastic parts are screwed together with small metal screws.
Based on the instructions or even personal experience, how long approximately would it take the average teen to put this together? I am looking at adding it to the Character and Skills for Home and Career from PAC.
Crissy on May 31, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I'm adult, I am back yard mechanic. Take me a whole day to finish it.
Does it run ?
A shopper on Apr 15, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Battery powered working model but doesn't do anything else. Kinda just sets around after it's built.
Is it a 1/4 scale?
A shopper on Apr 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: It is 1/6th scale.
How many parts does this have? The box appears to say "over 100", but the review says 250.
Sabrina on Nov 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: My child seems to remember it being closer to 250 pieces. Many of the pieces are very small -- so it doesn't seem like that many. My 10 year old put it together completely by himself, if that helps any.
