    Engine Model Build Log: Teching 4-Cylinder Progress Thread

    Pretty cool kit, unlike the visible V8. Looking at the video, and not unexpected. It seems to have a better quality & smoother operation. One observation, one would be wise to dedicate a single-purpose assembly area. The chances of dropping parts are greatly increased. As tweezers being the...
