    It was a fun model to build. It all went together just as the instructions illustrated. High quality model works great. It is really cool have gone many comments on how cool it is. I would recommend using clear synthetic grease on many of the moving parts rather than oil as recommended. Much better

    My son is 15 and this is what he wanted for his birthday. Definitely a little bigger than I thought it would be, however, this is such an amazing thing to watch him put together and focus on INSTEAD of video games! His grandpa can put together and take apart any engine and Gpa was intrigued that my son was interested in this. He isn't quite done with it yet being finals week this week, but I love how complex this machine is and when he was little he loved the really hard lego's, so this was a perfect choice to build confidence in his abilities and get him off technology! Love it!

    This was a play toy to keep occupied. This was pretty easy as i have worked on s lot of various trucks and cars motorcycles . The pieces went together well . fitment was a little off some parts but overall good . If i wanted to be precise the dremel needs to come out ! Most screws went in easily so first times better pay attention to the start of the screws. Also the lines showing where part should go need to be darkened an or more bold ! The switch and circuit board assembly should come as 1 piece . Was a bitch to get small screws and wires laid out as not to rub . Lastly the tool kit to put this together is a joke . A child would be frustrated quickly . I recommend just get a small bit set to assemble this and a tweezers or small pick . Overall expensive!!! But you will learn if u have no experience. Also its an expensive build just for a one time build. . This will be disassembled and built at least 4 times with my family members.

    I built the 4 cylinder first with no problems but when I got the V8, the electric motor didn’t work and the toggle switch was broken. They took care of the problem in a very timely manner. Shipping of the broken parts was much faster than I expected.
    Communications with the company was very good!! And now for my wish list. I wish they would make a carburetor and distributor with spark plug wires for the V8 as an option to buy. You guys are the best!!!

    I was well impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the design and all the parts. Everything fitted together perfectly except one small part that need a small amount of filing so it didn't rub on the timing chain. It is the best model I've ever made and would thoroughly recommend it.

    I had no problems with the assembly. But the battery is a different story. I can not run the engine with the charger cord connected. Once the charger cord is disconnected it runs fine. I don't know if that is the way it is supposed to be or not?? Also one of the timing chains (027) has a tight spot in it. I've tried to loosen it but I can't. I need a new 027 timing chain.

    I recently assembled this engine. I found the instructions to be excellent and each part indivitually identified to ensure success. No oil was provided, but I used a general purpose household oil and it works fine.

I check to see if it was all there no oil in the kit .All the parts.Numbers were easy to follow when looking and checking with the build instruction .My age is 75 years .I completed the kit during a two week period not working on it every day.When i turn the power on ,it work first time i was over the moon with my self.I then moved the wires on the starter motor with my finger and they came off the solder connection . Problem ,a bad finish with the two very thin wires.

    I so enjoyed building this engine! Just as advertised, every one of its 650+ parts is metal. Everything goes together excellently. I used this build as part of self-training for my building my 2023 LT6’s engine myself at the Corvette factory. When it was done, I flipped the switch and watched the pistons and valves go up and down, the crank and the camshafts all go around exactly at they should. Putting this model together was a treat!

    Very much fun to build. All metal parts fit precise and the manual has for each building step easy to understand drawings and descriptions. The model engine looks great and also works well. A small electric motor turns the crankshaft - piston movements visible from each side - the camshafts turn - all 32 valves open and close and the oil pump and alternator. Excellent precision and quality aluminum and stainless steel parts!

    The kit shipped and arrived in a timely manner. The package is well-assembled and organized - it was very easy to find the correct parts needed throughout the build.
    All the parts are precision-machined and finished - no sharp edges, etc.
    Between the paper book and the posted videos, the instructions are excellent (though I did make an error and installed one sprocket backwards - in this case, it was easily remedied even after I had finished). It took 8-9 hours to complete the build and the model works very nicely. A mini/magnetic power screwdriver was helpful as there are hundreds of screws but it's not necessary and you'll want to manually hand-tighten anyway - the provided tools will do the job.
    I shared my video with some family and friends and they were interested and impressed.
    It's a bit pricey but IMO, good quality/value for the money.

    Arrived in Portugal securely packaged with no damage.
    All components good quality & fitted together without problem.
    Instruction manual clear & easy to follow.
    All components required were in the kit, with some spare screws & drive belts.
    There was no lubricating oil in the kit, which may have been deliberate. As a packaging engineer I realise how difficult it is to transport low viscosity oils without leakage, in an uncontrolled transit environment, where there will probably be pressure differentials. As such I just used sewing machine oil, which appeared to work fine.

    For me as a mechanical engineer this was a fun little project, Being all metal and a good representation of a engine its a step up from your normal car or plane model kit.I repainted some of the parts to reflect some of the hot rod engines you see on line.

    The pictures well represent the V8. It is packaged extremely well in such a way as to make it easy to locate the parts to assemble. The parts appear to be of high quality.
