While in a midst of a multi-week prop replica build, Adam takes a break from the long-term project to take on a more relaxing assembly: this intricate 4-cylinder car engine model kit. Made of diecast metal parts, this animated model is an elegant visual representation of how a four stroke engine works, and a nice project to get done in a single day!

hi Adam, I think im going to have to look at that website sometime very cool stuff man
China.
@@everybodygotthat china is were the kit is made?
It is my understanding that so many people shop exclusively on Amazon that sellers almost have to sell on there to reach as many customers as possible. Amazon charges the seller a premium for inclusion and marketing and shipping so the seller has to mark up the product to match. Basically, the higher price on Amazon is so you can get free shipping.
440 dollars?!?!?!!? holy crud
$439! Holy Shit but as a mechanic who's torn down and rebuilt 4 cylinders, this pleases me so much and the craftsmanship a as in made of metal and not plastic as so many I've seen...... But REALLY EXPENSIVE!
I found one for around $50. For $439 you could get an actual engine!!
@@lynnmckenney1987 That's the Smithsonian one. It's all plastic. A functional 4 cyl one, just a tad larger is around 5000 dollars. Which is around the price of an actual four cylinder engine from this generation. You can get an Acura engine for about 500~600.
Lynn McKenney hi pls note that any website who sells it below 300usd is a scam. Some of this kind of website stole our photos. Take care.
@@moyustore I'd love to give you the link to shut the scam down, but I cant post the link in the comments.
yeah for $400 you could probably score yourself a real 22re or k20 from a junkyard with a bit of luck
Tweezer and antihistamines are a must for this build
Tweezers, antihistamines, and amphetamines!
Sounded like the audio to Scarface with all of the sniffing.
FTW Best to watch these types of short builds at 2TIMES speed. Fun & funny!☺
I kept wanting his mom to yell at him to use his hanky.
Adam, I FEEL your pain! My nose runs CONSTANTLY, almost every day. And I get sneezing fits, 6, 8, 10 in a row. It just won't stop sometimes. :-(
Timelapse Adam having a casual conversation and laughing to himself is one of the best things I've ever heard.
Yes it is even better when you watch it at 0.5 speed
Like listening to Sims talking
Time stamp?
@@eliamaris8499 Time-lapse as in sped up video sections
As a Auto technician, I found it absolutely hilarious listening to Adam try and name the components of the engine. Arms instead of connecting rods, brackets instead of crank caps. Pure gold 🤣
I agree but it’s also kinda cringe
@@cutlerscott681 Cringe how?
And upper "crank shafts"? or camshafts as their called.
Or, as we say here in the UK, conrods and big end caps.
I thought the same thing.. lol
Having spare mounting bosses on the engine casting is totally in line with real life too. They can be for things like airconditioning or power steering, engine mounts for putting the same engine in a different car, mounting brackets for hoses and wires, etc.. etc..
or could be used in the machining process.
I think I've seen this same basic engine that has the intake manifold, exhaust header with a turbo charger and even injector nozzles in the manifold and in the right location and it's even complete with an operating ignition system that has tiny led bulbs in the spark plugs that fire (light up) in the proper sequence. I think that the camshafts and valves are a nice touch but the lobe profiles look more like they should have roller followers instead of the "slider" type followers. It might just be me, but it looks a lot like the Cosworth version of the German produced engine that came into the U.S. in Pinto's and Capris until the '74 model year. Now build up the Allison turbo prop aircraft engine that Revell has just reissued for the first time in decades, I'm waiting for them to release the Wright Cyclone engine that was used in several military planes in the '30s and '40s. One of the best known was the Stearman basic trainers that were used to train the majority of pilots during WW II, It was also used for crop dusting and it's still a popular aerobatic aircraft that shows up in a lot of airshows. The engine that was produced by Revell was also used as a display engine in a large 65" wingspan flying model that was produced by the Sterling company that has sadly gone out of business in the last decade or so.
They also make a V8 - which has two or those bore sections bolted to a shared crank case - Maybe the mounting points for the V8 version ?
Listening to Adam talk to himself in the sped up portion is exactly how I would picture him if he downed a gallon of coffee before the video.
Funny, with his sniffly nose, I pictured something else.
I watch most youtube things at 1.75 or 2x speed anyway - it was extremely funny.
@@criggie Same. I slowed to normal because I couldn't make out what he was saying and thought something was wrong at first.
Hearing Adam sound like Ben Shapiro made me wince.
Ya coooffeee right, coffee lol
I heard you say you've never assembled a car engine before. As a mechanic, I would love to watch you disassemble and/or assemble a car engine. As well as watch your learning process along the way.
assembling one is easy ... tuning the bugger ... that takes skill lol ... assembly just be good with 3d jigsaw puzzles .. and many similar pieces
Built the visible V-8 as a kid 55 years ago loved it just as much. It sat with my model collection for many years. Mine had a "working" distributer and "rice grain lights" for the spark plugs. Thanks for bringing back the memories Adam. 👍👍👍😊
Those old Renwal releases were nice but it was strange that you had to lubricate the cylinder bores or the pistons would eventually gall up and seize the engine and it would quit working. Also if you used the wrong lubricant it would make the plastic fog up and it was really hard to see things move. They (Revell have released the "Visible V-8" but it no longer has an electric motor that turns the flywheel and operates the engine. It has a small hand crank that you have to use to rotate the engine and there is no more the little wires and contacts inside the distributor that lit up the little bulbs, but they are another victim of progress. I have heard there are plans to bring back the "Visible Chassis" that was also a Renwal release, it would use the Visible V-8to complete a basic powered chassis, the biggest thing against them was they are such a large scale (1/4?) that it was hard to find a place to display them even though they were popular in automotive auto shop classes in high school and small junior college courses.
@@horsepower711 I was wondering if anyone would mention the Visible V8. I built the Renwal kit probably 50 years ago. It was a quite an amazing kit. I was thinking about re-living the experience, but the new version seems to have deleted some of features of the original such as the electric drive motor, and based on the comments on the seller’s web page the quality may have declined.
The kit Adam assembled probably eclipses the old Visible V8, but then this new DIY kit it is quite a bit more expensive. I was just looking at another video about a gasoline powered scale V-twin Knucklehead 4cc engine. Darn, that little engine costs like it it is regular full size engine!
@@wtmayhew have you seen the Conley 609 Stinger? honestly thought about building a drag rc with one
@@sleepercore7725 I read your comment and just watched the video. Wow!, that is cool.
He is amazingly comfortable with his audience. Like family.
He's been thinking out loud on camera for longer than youtube existed. He better be comfortable doing it by now.
Doing Mythbusters for 15 Years will do that to you. 😀
Like a family member who is sponsored to sell you stuff
I love how when Adam opens something he is so genuinely excited like a kid in a candy store
PaulN07, that's like me with Lego.
Sometimes, packaging is just as important.
I work at a printing company and because of that, I often geek out over printing/packaging whatever the medium it's produced on.
I have seen raging meth addicts with more control over their hands and jumpiness, lol.
@@ericsynchrona5495 about i am so high i can make it work with half missing parts.... listen snorking and fastenes of him... i mean mit busters are great but this man is funny and it looks like flu is overwelming him 🤪🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yeah i agree on that 😂🤣😝
As a car guy it's funny to hear what you called each part, not knowing their "proper" names. But what you called them was very descriptive of what the part actually is and I knew exactly what you were talking about.
It was fun to see you work your way through the engine given the amount of knowledge you have in other areas.
Thanks for the vid!
Dad gifted me one of these. Somehow hours went by and it was done! Best gift ever.
"Lubricate everything that needs lubrication." Ah yes, the car is made out of car.
I had a teacher in junior high that would say, "a cow, is a cow like creature" when someone would define something like that! 🤣
To be fair, that is actually true. Every moving part needs to be lubricated just as with a full gas or diesel engine.
@@renl4123 it would be true had it said " lubricate every moving part"
@@donanders2110 But let's be real... It's just kinda physics and basic understanding that leads us to know that dry metal on metal will cause either warping/melting or worse... Sparks. Which of in the wrong place could mean an explosion.
@@renl4123 petrol
I know I'm very late on this video but I so much love the unedited style, I'm a 4th year industrial design student and to watch your chaotic, mad scientist work flow makes me feel much better about my work flow 😂 thank you Adam Savage for actually being the amazing human that the 7 year old version of me imagined you were.
I am a professional car mechanic, and I gotta say, Adam Savage never built a car engine BEFORE.
He did have the professional knowledge to make the parts work.
It will take more oil to work long-term, but I am impressed by him figuring out what is needed.
Quote: Adam Savage: I don't tighten any screws until it is complete.
EXCELLENT! I do that too. it comes out better.
It has more to do with the part, than the whole; but the point has value.
Soo darn happy I found this channel. I have missed watching Adam build some amazing things and of course hurting himself, as long as he didn't get hurt to bad. Great build and it looks awesome. Keep yourselves safe and healthy.
The fact that you have extra nuts and bolts left upon completion truly makes this model assembly just like the real thing. It has always been an inside joke amongst shop coworkers that if you DON'T have extra nuts and bolts left over then you did something wrong, also we don't call them "extras" we call them "weight reduction".
I truly hope you are joking and don't just leave it.
@@nathantron Like I said, it is an inside joke. A lot of times one kit will be designed to be compatible with multiple design set ups, which will leave you with parts that were not necessary for your particular application. Other times kits will come with new nuts and bolt but the originals are still in good condition, so you either use the originals and save the new or vice-versa. I, like many auto technicians, have a unique sense of humor that for the most part only fellow "grease monkeys" understand or find humorous, however when it comes to my actual profession I take it very seriously.
Joking aside, make no mistake, I consider auto technicians just below doctors; as in my customers are trusting me with not only their safety but the safety of all those around them when they have me work on their vehicles. I perform every repair as if one of my loved ones were going to be driving it.
@@nathantron if the car runs with missing bolt, then the bolts weren't needed
It's obviously a non-interference engine.
Favorite line: "The crankcase sits in the oil bath allowing the pistons to go up and down."
Can you imagine if it wasn't, how many people would have bent valves and dented pistons? :D
@@cunt5000 My thoughts exactly.
i think he meant crank shaft but even then thats like the most obvious thing ever and not ever necessarily accurate
I really feel like an engine builder needs to bring Adam in for a day of building something like an LS. That would be really entertaining to watch and Adam hasn't had the joy of building a full sized engine.
Adam looking at Piston rings... That's probably one or two thou off.
I’ve done this with a real 4 cylinder... but this seems like more fun, and the way Adam got so excited about the timing chain!
The fact Adam called pretty much everything by its wrong name lol
That is a bit on the steep end. We bought a 1600 VW engine for $500. Mind you it was used but my son uses it every day to get to school. :).
I really like Adam but it was painful to hear all of the random names he’d call things!
It is a bummer. Adam had an opportunity to learn the proper name for each component so as others could have learned.
Caling the connecting rods cylinder rods.🤣
The top "crankshafts" when they're camshafts
That engine block, upside down, looks like some insane Gothic/Steampunk architecture, I love it.
SO jealous. Best "job" ever! The sped up video and audio is a neat touch. He sounds like he's all wacked out on tweek sauce. Super fast speech and a runny nose!
Classic Adam. He makes an 'assembly' video and it starts with the 'disassembly' of one of the parts!! Made me chuckle. Great vid as always!
I am following Adam for years now, especially the one day builds. The one day build are much more frequent since the crisis. But, although the builds themselves are great I cannot emphasize how beautiful I find the leather sheet on the workbench. It became a piece of art.
*Obviously Adam is NOT a car guy.*
We love him anyway.
You can see the delight Adam got from building this. It was also a pleasure to watch someone get so much satisfaction from doing it.
To Adam, to find someone who is genuinely excited during every build even if it gets aggravated, fulfilling, and tedious, its a inspiration, an something I hope never changes with you, thanks for you being yourself in all your videos
Haha as a ex-toyota tech, I almost had a nervous breakdown watching this build. LMAO as long as you enjoyed it, then I'm happy.
As a current toyota mechanic I had a nervous breakdown and flashbacks
No heat and no pressure means he doesn't have to worry about the order he torques the head bolts down or re-torqueing them to stretch correctly, getting the right clamp force on gaskets etc. that you have to deal with in the real world. Got a chuckle out of him struggling a bit with the timing chain though, that matches the very little real world experiences I've had as a shade tree mechanic. LOL
LOL are you guys for real. It's a toy to display on a desk.
Adma,if you had footage of all new opens of everything you have ever opened ,,I would watch it in a loop ,its a delight to watch you!
Adan, i think you are probably one of the only people I know of our vintage who takes off his glasses to see tiny parts!! 👓
I want this much excitement with everything I do. Seeing him rip out that foam from the second little box like its a Christmas present is so great !
Me: *Sees bent exhaust pipe in close up shot.* 'Oh that's gunna bug me.' Adam: *fixes it in immediate next close up* This man is a gift!!
It's fun to finally see adam build something that I have real world experience in and get the joy of being the guy watching and whispering "thats not what that's called" under my breath the whole time.
Right? Hahaha!
Same, disappointed in the model that you didn't install the crank first just to make it more realistic
“Cylinder arms” Love you Adam, nice to see you aren’t a genius at everything!
I had a collection of these when I was about 11.(mine were plastic kits though, this thing is amazing!!!! the 11 year old me is shitting his pants so hard he flew the though ceiling) I was obsessed with building engines.
I used to rebuild lawn mower engines at age 11 too. I learned from my grandfather. By the time I was 12, I could do it by myself.
Its been so long, if I did it now I'd probably forget something. I miss those days. I miss too much
I might not speak for everyone but I would’ve watch that in real time.
You can do, just turn down the playback speed on TH-cam
I found it hilarious sped up! Like this is probably what his wife and friends see him as daily lol..
I watched the entire thing at 0.50 speed, the sped up version was really annoying. I watch most of these videos to hear Adam rambling
@@munger2k yeah, the editing on this video was incredibly lazy
This build reminds me of the nose drip germ myth where adam had a "cold" and hosted a dinner party.
ill bring the blacklight
Adam got the cold. They made a nice toy for adults. Good job putting that toy engine together. It's good to Marvel at.
I honestly appreciate how humble Adam is, it's probably why Mythbusters was so successful, hes not arrogant and doesn't make himself out to be a know it all
My family is laughing our butts off at the speed up Adam self talk! Somehow this seems to me to be Adam's natural state.
I think so too.
On MythBusters Adam's speed was probably slowed down.
Come to think of it...
That explains the low and slow voice of Jamie!
"Caffeinated Adam" has had me belly laughing like a loon right through the video.
Thanks guys... XD I needed that.
The sniffing noises make the sped up talk 10x better
Yes, his natural state....it shows in his wild hair! Mad scientist Adam got me over here laughing like.
Ok, nevermind....it's actually way funnier sped-up like this LULz
I love watching these builds. It is the next best thing to being able to buy one for myself.
I got a 1/4 scale V8 model for Christmas when I was a kid. It was pretty damn cool and even had a distributor that made LEDs fire according to the timing. I actually learned a ton about engines. I loved making cars, planes, and ships but the moving V8 was one of my favorites.
Great teaching aid. I learned how a V8 engine worked by building that classic plastic model in the early 1970's when I was a pre-teen. Been a shade tree mechanic since... but in a garage or apartment complex parking lot a couple of times in early adulthood. 🙂
Play in 0.5x playback for all the people who like to listen to him talk through it. (Don't forget to put it back to normal again when it's not sped up lol)
Yeah, I tried that myself. I hate it when the editors fast forward through Adam talking or explaining things.
I usually watch on 2X. It was quite weird watching him speak at 4X because of this
I was watching this on my TV and thought I accidentally clicked 2x speed but my remote didn't have that button. So I was very confused for like 5 minutes.
I could 100% understand every single word he said clear as a bell, on normal speed when the video was sped up!
@@timfagan816 that's cool good for u. But some people like an actual normal voice
Hats off to Adam for another awesome build, even though he's clearly struggling with the pollen count.
This kit is likely something I may never afford, but at least I can see you build it Adam, thank you so much.
Watching this at 0.5 speed is SO SATISFYING!!
Love theses, funny how you have no extensive engine building experience, yet you built this with amazing ease while having fun.
I'm the exact opposite, have no experience in model builds but plenty in real life engine building.. and i'm sure it would have taken me longer!
I'd love to see a #Collaboration with some engine builder/car youtuber where they get together & Adam gets to tear down & rebuild a 4 stroke engine.
I think it would be both #Educational & #Entertaining for all parties involved!!
I wish I had to money to buy a model like this, great to be able to live through someone else on this one
Watching Adam doing builds at double speed pretty much replicates his energy on the Mythbusters set...
Watched at half speed so I could enjoy the build as well as the commentary. 😜
I watched at double speed ... 😜😜
Adam: "Now that I've built a model of a four cylinder engine, the next one day build will be of a Ferrari V-12"
And after that, a W16
Swapped into a prius!!
Seriously impressive. I would love to see Adam try putting together a kit from ROKR wooden kit line. I love the lantern, simply because I built it myself and it looks so beautiful.
Did we ever find out what happened with the raptor build and all the Animax videos?
EXACTLY, I was wondering about that in an earlier video. They're gone. Just gone.
Probably legal issues, they may have received some complaint or C&D from either the owners of the dinosaur design, or whoever they were being made for, which may have been the same company. Chances are they are legally forbidden from talking about those videos or acknowledging they existed.
You can watch them if you have oculus I believe. You just cant watch it on youtube anymore. From what I read
@@gigaherz_ That’s been my guess since they mysteriously vanished, but of course it’s just a theory. Even if it was true, they legally couldn’t confirm it haha
Damn, just aksed the same question... sad thibg it was a very nice and complex build!!! Maybe it showed some trade secret?!
Most satisfying unboxing I’ve seen in a long time.
What an amazing modle every time you pulled out a piece my brain exploded. So jelly.
DUDE! I want one to build with my grandson. Best way to learn in a controlled environment.
Grandpa?
I built the V-8 teching model with 32 valves. It was so fun. Tedious but really easy. Now I want to build one that actually runs on fuel. That will be so awesome.
"There's so many extra screws... AWESOME!"
Said no mechanic ever!
I've wanted to try this for so long! So expensive though :(
I know right! For that price you could buy a REAL engine; rebuild it, and sell it back when your done. Kinda disappointed in adam for stooping this far for a little bit of money.
So did you save up and buy one? It’s a really fun build. 🤙
I saw someone else do this build and it's an awesome little engine. I'm planning on putting two Conley blown V-8's in an RC boat soon and will do some videos of that build. As far as the hay fever...I can totally relate here in El Sobrante surrounded by weeds, trees, and my landlord mowing the weeds down! Achooooo!!!!
NOICE! that does look like a lot of fun. When I was a kid I had one of the Revell large scale see-thru 4 cyl. Engine kit and it was so much fun. I (like to think) I learned a bit about engines putting that together. One of my cousins had & built the V8 version around the same time, apparently he tried to rig it to the electrical socket....With expected results. Although I only heard about it after the fact...
There is nothing like that moment when you open up a brand new model kit box and start pouring over the parts sprues and instruction book.
Hi Adam, having upgraded your machining precision with the Samaritan build, have you considered creating your own mechanical clock similar to the skeleton clock by Clickspring?
If he likes this kit he would probably also like the toyan L400 model kit, which is a fully functional fuel burning engine kit
I immediately thought of that when I read the title.
Same
That is what I thought he had and was a little disappointed that it wasn't.
Great seeing your video. You two are a great tandem. I loved your show. It's good to know you didn't find any spare working parts.
Hi Adam,
When I was a kid I made a marble puzzle box out of Lego's and it was something fun to do when I was a boy. And then as a adult I made marble puzzle boxes out of Popsicle sticks and it turned out great and the tools I used was a scroll saw and white glue. I made the base using two layers of Popsicle sticks and since the marbles were two sticks in height I used a scroll saw to cut the walls of the puzzle box. And I made four mazes one on top of each other and each maze was different. And when the box was made it was fun playing with it for a while. And the sticks had to be very straight and very flat to make the box work. The way I have found make the sticks flat was to tap them one at a time on a flat surface to weed out the warped and bent ones. You might want to try this project sometime and it maybe fun for anyone who wishes to build one.
Robert Johnson
The hayfever has been killing me too man, I feel you. 🤧
Very nice project. Remember the “Visible V-8?”
Yep, from Revell. Back in the '60s. I built it.
Failed to build it in the 80s. 😂😭
The problem with plastic model cement... Mistakes are permanent.
The kit is still around, most hobby shops have it for under $100
fast audio with pitch compensation was genius!
The only thing Ive ever seen him do that I know more about than he does. Just goes to show there are geniuses in all forms and fashions. Love building engines !
watching the engine turn over, a part of me kept saying "get off the starter, you're going to burn it up!!" then I remembered that it's not a real engine or starter lol
Part of me cringed when he spun the crank in the block without the bearing caps in place.. "Noooo you never turn the rotating assembly until all the caps are torqued to spec!"
@@stargazer79 I would've loved to see a tiny torque wrench
@@flandrble Hrrrrrrrrrr.. *tiny 'CLICK'*
@@stargazer79 tighten until it gets loose, back a quarter turn. Should last night shit. SHOULD.
That sounds like they might as well have just said: "Assemble the engine as it should be assembled" and called it done.
Adam, i think you would love the game "my summer car" you put a car together, completely, from parts that are scattered around your garage, and putting the engine together you might really enjoy great vid man, these interactive models are always so cool to see
As a lover of all gadgets, trinkets, machines, science, and the general gist of this channel, as well as a lover of cars and automotive engineering, i can say from watching this video and others, adam would make an insane 'car guy'. I think adam could bring ideas and things to the car world that are so unique and cool, and the spirit with which you do things so similar to how the pinnacle of 'automotive artists' operate. Not only would i love to see him dive deeper into cars(or trucks, boats, bikes, etc), I would wager that it would prove to be one of adams new favorite fields of play. I also think it would deepen and enrich his knowledge of all things, as almost any such engineering endeavor will.
PS -- be careful getting into cars, its like a black hole, or some kind of addictive drug, and will suck you in, not necessarily a bad thing depending on who you ask.
The quick speed changes make me feel like stepping on and off a moving sidewalk....odd choice in editing, but still love the result.
"I need a break today"
*Proceeds to build something awesome.
What an exceptionally beautiful model I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for years now I may not wait any longer
It humbles me too see the great Adam Savage struggle building something I wouldn't need an instruction book for... you're still a boss Mr. Savage... you're still the man... 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 keep doin the dew sir... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome build, but why the x2 speed when Adam is talking?
Full length version available to Patreon and membership subscribers.
@@briandeschene8424 i am a membership suscriber, already seen the normal vid. Thank you for your concerne
Watching Adam open a new widget or gadget is like a wondrous groundhog day of perpetual Christmas mornings! Superb.
I enjoyed watching you assemble this tiny monster. It really does look like fun to put together. Would like to see you do more builds of this nature in the future though this was put on TH-cam a while ago. Nice work sir!
The pistons are "Notched" to point in the direction of the FRONT of the engine JUST like a real car engine, in a real engine situation if the pistons are installed incorrectly it WILL cause failure...
Im not sure in a non interference engine.. but u are totally right in a LS and hemi for sure
Now I know why Jamie got so wound up by Adam... Sped up Adam talking is actually how Jamie heard Adam talking whenever he was around him 😂
I think i would get tired of him pretty quickly as well.
I have a very low threshold for clumsy people, especially if they never learn from it, together with his undying enthusiasm, and how noisy he can be with whatever he's doing, the emotional responses he gives and demands, obsessing over things while at the same time calling them the wrong names, etc., but, he's great to watch in this format, love his videos, haha 😅
It seems to me that the best part of this kit is building it. Watching it go round and round gets old very quickly. To get the best value for money out of it, you have to disassemble it and start over.
As an engine machinist and builder I just.... I'm glad it's miniature. a full size engine takes so much measuring and work.even during assembly
if you watch this video in 2X speed, you'll transform into energy :D
I actually watched the fast parts on 0.75
there are engines like this, that actually run on fuel. I've seen someone use them in a RC car.
$500 and it doesn't even run? LOL THISis what you need to build amzn.to/3yTyhWy
You are my spirit animal..you really are mr Savage..in fact i made a model kit of a car while watching this..it was very relaxing and made me focused
I love watching your videos adam!! You're the best. Because of you and myth busters I love making my own parts for my motorcycles and cosplay costumes. You always give me great ideas on costumes.
Adam: today we’re going to assemble this engine.
Also Adam: starts with disassembling parts of the kit.
I wanted something like this until I literally bought a whole used engine for the same price. :P
How’d it go for you? I’d love to learn the ins and outs of an engine
@@finnmaclean7796 if you have the space to house an engine on a stand, I’d highly recommend it. Which is roughly the width and half the length of a standard garage bay. Also I forgot the expense of an engine hoist and and engine stand, as these are things I already had as a car guy.
@@finnmaclean7796 what do you want to know
@@gedavids84 yeah there might be an engine hoist and stand in my garage but I’ll definitely take a look into it. Even starting with a smaller motorcycle engine to gain a simple understanding
@@roberthommel2825 I’d just love to be able to take apart an engine and rebuild it/repair it myself, or as much as possible
So many critics; so little time. Just enjoy it for what it is. Adam being a builder.
The additional bolt hole studs on the oil filter side of a typical 4 cylinder will be for an engine mount and oil cooler. On the other side you would typically have an engine mount, and sometimes an axel guard or heatshield depending on how it's mounted. Also you would have a crank sensor on the block as well.
That same company makes nitro an gasoline mini engines. I have several. (Put them in various RC cars/trucks)
Some of them come in kits. Think it would be good content for your channel.
How does the power / powerband match up with nitro engines ?
@@3v3pirat37 So gearing is important with these engines as they don't rev up to 30k rpms like traditional nitro engines.
@@DomVito87 Of course but how does it feel to drive them. Typical nitro engines have little to no torque where as the 4 stroke will have loads more.
"How many pistons?" On my 4 cylinder engine build? 😂
I could watch a day in the life of Adam Savage in fast forward mode all day long - genius at work. 😊😉✌🏼
I have received one of these from the web site listed above. It arrived much quicker that advertised. One catch. Adam got a manual in English. The one shipped with mine is in Chinese. That’s going to make things a bit more difficult, but what the heck, it will be fun.
$440 for this? Come on now that's ridiculous.
