Hi Lego builder,

Here you have the building instructions of my V8 engine made by photo report.
It is possible that there are some mistakes in it.
If you found 1 of something you don’t understand,
please contact me barebos@hotmail.com.

Help with building:
1) Constantly check if all the moving parts are moving smoothly.
This can be tricky with the camshafts. The elastic bands (valves) make up a lot of friction.
2) When you assemble the elastic bands and attach the valves, work from the inside out.
To help attach the valves you can turn the cylinder (crack shaft) at the highest position.
The valves are easier to connect.
3) For the exhaust I used a Technic Axle Flexible 19 long.
For sliding the round plates 2 x 2 over them, you have to cut away the 3 rims.
You can also us a Technic Flex-System Hose and cut it 19 studs (15,2 cm / 6 inch) long.

Good luck with building.
Barman
