The V8 Engine UGEARS is a 1:6 scale model that operates either by an electric motor or by turning a knob, allowing you to watch the fascinating workings of this iconic internal combustion engine. The 3D kit accurately depicts all the main mechanisms of a real V8 engine, including eight cylinders with rhythmically moving pistons, with two cylinders "firing" for every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation, 16 valves with springs, that open and close, pushing the heads on the rotating camshafts, Crankcase and valve train components connected to the timing chain and throttle valve on the intake manifold. The model is powered by an electric motor stylized as a generator. The serpentine belt connects the crankshaft pulley to other pulleys connecting engine accessories such as the air conditioning compressor, alternator, power steering pump and water pump. Connect the model to a power source using the USB-C cable, then turn on the power switch and watch the motor come to life, or manually start the V-8 motor by turning the knob located under the power switch.


The V8 engine model is realistically crafted down to the smallest detail, such as the stylized exhaust manifold, spark plugs, oil pan, oil dipstick and oil and brake fluid caps. The Model is assembled sequentially - first the cylinder block, then the valve blocks, allowing you to better understand the engine's operation. The timing chain has 32 links and its tension can be adjusted with two tensioners to ensure that the chain is not too loose or too tight.

You can leave the model in an attractive natural wood look or paint or stain it (colours not included). It is designed for more experienced modellers and no glue or special tools are needed to assemble it. All moving parts should be sanded with the included sandpaper and lubricated with wax (or other suitable lubricant). Detailed pictorial instructions in 11 languages are included.
Dimensions of the model:
