[JudgeSteelflax]

would someone tell me what pushrod V8 means? this is realy cool

[Lincolnpimp420]

a push rod v8 uses a single crank drivin cam in the middle of the engine and uses pushrods and lifters to move the valvs (im not good at explaning things)

[JudgeSteelflax]

[Lincolnpimp420]

an over head cam

[JudgeSteelflax]

[Eco8rofl]

Hey, super nice :), im also a knex freak but was this a construction build by yourself or had u got a plan and if yes, can you give mee a link to this plan pls :) :) :)

Its brilliant :D

[mistagtr]

Nope this has been all made by me no plans of any kind were used. The push rod/camshaft has been made using a white rod riding on a long grey shaft with the tan pieces as cam lobes.

[Eco8rofl]
