Knex V8 Engine (Front view)

This is a push rod v8 tappets and rocker arms can be seen through the cam covers. All parts on this work just as a real engine except for the injector hat.
The main power comes from a 12v dc electric motor positioned in the starter's location.
This took 2 days to build but ideas circulated over more than a year.

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.
