- 5-Axis V8 Engine Block. Less talk, more rock. In this video, we let the Haas VM3 do the talking. If you're familiar with the Business of Machining podcast, John Grimsmo and I discuss the importance of "spindle therapy." This project is about being in the moment and thoroughly enjoying the process. The end result is icing on the cake.
As we continue to learn and grow in our 5-Axis journey, so can you! Nothing is more awesome than being able to share this with you. So, kick back, relax, and enjoy!

Neat trick turning one cylinder into 8.
Ha!
what???
@@dccracker7922 the original metal piece was a cylinder, he got an eight cylinder engine block out of it
Ayeeee
Ahh i see what you did there :)
(Edit) yay i got a like 😊
(Edit) yesh 3 like😁
There's something very reassuring about the tool changer
Like a firm handshake
I know its ridiculous but still found it funny
Yep... it also is reminiscent of being beat about the head with a baseball bat!
having them at 100% speed is terrifying lol
i always felt like it was about to throw the tool holder straight through the side of the machine -__-
I've seen one throw a probe across the machine enclosure. Threw it so hard it sounded like a bomb went off. The probe was toast.
I know exactly what you mean. That tool changer is extremely satisfying to watch.
Satisfying until it stops in the middle of a tool change!
Many moons ago I worked for a performance/custom speed company as a technical illustrator creating documentation for custom ultra precision engine , gearbox , supercharger and alloy wheel creations..they utilized only high end CNC/Alphanumeric machines.. everything was from billet.. the various components were very expensive..and works of art... watching this video brought back great memories..👍👍👍😊
hello, do you know any place where I could get engines blueprints? im learning cnc machining on my own and its a struggle finding those blueprints
Absolutely great how you let your intern "run with it", giving them freedom to think and come up with cool solutions (even if this is just for a show project)
Love the sunken heads
Impressive!!! I used to program CNC machines over 25 to 30 years ago my 1st machine was a paper tape reader we moved to a 3.5 floppy disk and then to rewrite CDs. Then I got rifited after almost 15 years of prototyping. Now I do mechanical engineering. It was the best job I ever had. I put experiments into outer space that were successful. I made prototype medical devices and equipment and other things I can't talk about. I also did model making, injection molding, metallurgy ,Mig, Tig, plasma, and complete wood working, to many other skills to list. That was the most fulfilling job that I ever had. The rest of my career has been boring in comparison, however it pays the bills.
It's great to hear that. From your perspective, which machine would you suggest for a performance shop???
Thanks in advance ☺️
@@TheRealMrGrIoT Most of my experience was on Bridgeport and Central Machinery. I really can't speak on newer machines. Because the advancement of machine tools has probably seen improvements by leaps and bounds from what I had experience using in my youth. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful to you.
I remember your apartment, you’ve come a long way since then. I’m happy for you and proud of you!! Thanks for always sharing.
So glad I found your channel. Since I purchased my 3d printer, installed a blue diode laser..... etc I decided to build my own DIY CNC. And your channel has answered SOOOOOOOO many questions I didnt even know to ask. Thank you for all your knowledgeable content and experience.
I’m very big into building and using 3D printers and your channel has literally raised my interest in CNC to an all time peak. I’m thinking about building a basic CNC to get me started thanks to you!
P.S. I live in queens NY so the name of your channel instantly caught my attention!
That was inexplicably satisfying to watch! Thanks John and Minions!
Fantastic job on the block, without doubt. It would be quite the accomplishment to machine all the parts needed to complete a fully functional engine. The mind boggles on all the programming that would be involved. Thanks for the video.
Been a machinist for over a decade it’s nice to see people interested in the field. And that engine block is adorable 🥰
These machines are awesome. When I was working I used to walk out to the Manufacturing floor and watch the huge Mazak Mill doing it's thing. It is mesmerizing for sure. The operator was sitting in a chair with his feet up on the machine sleeping.
this is an awesome project. please keep more stuff like this coming!
You guys have come so far since I started watching your video's, nice job
Super cool project. And no doubt, simply amazing how you have progressed over the years. Very inspiring.
You're such an inspiration for me!!
I just bought my first 3 axis milling machine from Dyna with Fagor CNC. I'm so excited to start 3D milling amazing products just like you do!!
Hi,Vicsikz,this is Miss Wang ,i am glad to meet you
It will be amazing to see where you go with this engine block! A functional V8 would be amazing
That's awesome!! I need one of those, or a 1/5 scale LS7 for my RC.
the music is probably the best part of the video, and the content is brilliant.
Phenomenal video!! Very interesting to watch. I've worked as a cnc machinist for over 10 years now
Take it to the next level !!! Cant wait to start my CNC classes at school! :)
That is beyond cool - would love to see this as an actual functioning V8
There are full assembly v8 engines you can buy. I think it's called a Toyan. they are 1k but it looks like an amazing project.
they are incredibly overpriced and ridiculously hard to get running. those are models first, functioning engines last...@@jessehellakoo
This is one of the coolest things you've ever done on this channel, along with a lot of others!!!
Wtf this is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen, the way the bottom plate holding the piece moves with unreal precision is amazing
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for the videos. As a recent engineering grad in kinda finding myself wondering what I can do to keep learning and do fun projects. I'm going to start the arduino GRBL CNC you guys did a few years ago with some alterations. These videos are awesome!
you are a kind person
That has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember! New VMC on they way so it will happen soon!
Amazing to watch. I remember watching your videos from the NY days and then the move. Now this quality of work. I even managed to learn enough to get really good engraving on my small machine, thanks to you and that was years ago. I felt so dumb then compared to how less dumb I feel now! 🤣👍🏼🇺🇸
If I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it, WOW amazing absolutely amazing!
I'm following this. Amazing. Really makes me want to build a small Cnc
so freaking cool to watch - i would burn through about 15' of that round stock making a dozen just to watch.
Life is so much easier using renishaw 🤓 I remember before we had them , manually setting x and y with a 5mm probe , setting heights with a 2inch probe and allowing for it in the offsets. These renishaw probes are a dream , select you program , g54 , diameter z drop f4 and 2 and the jobs set already . So easy
I think the engine block is SUPER SUPER AWESOME and cool!
People have done scale functioning engines before so it's definitely doable. There is definitely a market for that kind of thing in the rc\model worlds. People invest great deals of money into them. Great video.
back in the 1980s there was a guy making and selling 1HP 1cu in V8 engines in the back pages of hot rod magazines for $1000. they were fully functional 1/18 scale motors for rc cars that could fit in the palm of your hand. they had a tunnel ram and 2 carbs and were quite sick.
@@Q5Grafx that's cool. There is a guy making a v16 or v12 that's fuel injected for an rc car that he in making basically every single part for himself. I'll find the video and attach a link
If you google them, there are more than a few making and selling them....last time I checked they were upwards of $10K USD. When I saw it I thought, hell, I can buy a 5L Ford Coyote Crate motor for that.....(but it's all about production and supply and demand).
@@muskokamike127 and some cost way more ! www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_62&products_id=959

“he’s probably thinking about other girls”
Love it! This has been a dream of mine for years
Fascinating, precise and beautiful, seeing the magical metamorphosis from billet to block is truly captivating!
Thank you for sharing this superb video which is interesting, informative and entertaining!
Is the lathe project still underway? Btw: AWESOME results on the V8. A tip: you most definitely want to line bore that crank journal before you hang a metal one in there and light the fire :)
I would love to see an automated machine balance the crankshaft.
john you can't say "sounds like a v8" and not let us hear it :(
Dont run its a paper weight
he said in the video that they turned it with a drill and it kind of sounded like a v8
.rotfgl....yea, don't smell like a V-8.
But kool none the less
@@ikbendusan turned it with a drill... the airmovements caused by the 8 cylinders moving back and forth actually cause an audible noise with driven with a drill. 500rpm would cause the same noise produced by a real v8 minus the combustion event.
@@screener545 yes but we want video evidence ;(
That is awesome. I got to get back over and see you guys. John great video.
Remarkable that it stays stable in that clamp!
Awesome
somone boutta have the best sounding lawnmower on earth
this would never be a working engine
I had the privilege/headache of working with a 9 axis Mazak Integrex years ago. It would do some neat stuff, but repeatability wasn't one of them. Just one of the tradeoffs of using a lathe to do millwork.
This looks like a very capable machine.
Thank you for the video.
Could watch that all day!
Wow ! That machine is just the biz !
I would love to see a Wankel being machined on it and you could turn both of these motors or models into a moving display by adding a small electric motor to turn them over . They would make an interesting display for your reception area or front desk .
he mentioned a working Wankel ... that means you put fuel in it and burn the fuel to make it move, no electric motors to make it look like it is running...
You should get one of one of those GoPro cases that John Grimsmo just got ahold of.
Beautiful work! Looks to be the same size as the engine in my car!
Superb...... A long way u have come... And still a long way to go👍🏆
you had me at rotary😂
Awesome video! Take a look at horizontally opposed 4 cylinders like the EJ20. That would be a hell of a build
My machine shop professor made an engine that ran on compressed air it was amazing to see it operate functionally. I was amazed most by the exhaust valves sound like a diesel engine engine
I want to double like this! So awesome John! My dream is to have my own shop 1 day!
That rapid movement to the underside of the engine block... I would soil my pants so hard the first time I would have to run this program...
Gotta trust the programmers bro
Not just the programmers, but the Post Processor as well. Got to make sure something didn't go rogue in how that thing interprets a rapid motion, and collide with something. The Cam is only a portion of this battle against crashes.
I am jealous of your HAAS and 5th Axis
Great job. Looks like a lot of fun making this.
Beautifully done tool paths.
Pretty darn cool! I'd like to see that little V8 in a riding mower...
Yeah, make function model... :D
YEAAAAAAAAH :D :D :D .... V12 XD :D
Engines have crazy tight tolerances, I don't think he has the machinery to do it
But when you ask for an engine that just runs and that not on high Efficiency, it isnt hard... Just look on YT... :D
@@collinbetten9377 not as tight as you think, eg: my recent motorbike rebuild had a new piston with 0.1mm play, the previous piston had 0.5mm play, most VMC's can do 0.01mm to 0.0001mm accuracy
How about you design this block... bet ya cant.
BEAUTIFUL job. Thanks for sharing!
Just awesome. Keep up the good work. Really intoxicating.
make it real, would be a nice go-kart engine. thank you for the video. amazing what can happen in 10 years. congratulations.
Its about the size of his hands. How is that gonna power a go-kart? ;)
Please make the rotary engine. Been thinking of making one myself
Really cool. I was hoping it was going to be a running engine. You could always turn it into one maybe. Thanks for sharing!
Your company sharing great talent's along with Titan of CNC Academy keep us viewer's coming back everyday to watch & see whats new. Bear.
Magnificent Machine.
I just wonder how long before it starts wearing out?
And if recalibration is an option? 👍 😄
Long live SMW!!
Definitely enjoyed this one, great work.
CNC machines really are an amazing piece of tech
Awesome tooling and CNC work! I hope you get to the point where you machine the entire engine (except for the spark plug wires, air filter, etc... that aren’t metal) so that it works with real pump gas (petrol, for you UK people)! Not sure how you’d make a miniature, working spark plug, though. Can it machine ceramic, or would that (spark plug body) have to be cast?
Would make more sense to design it to work with the miniature spark plugs from small single cylinder engines, the Honda GX25 comes to mind, it’s a consumable item, and not trivial to manufacture.
You should sell these! I'd totally buy one for my desk lol
Here here.
What a machine. I wish I had one such as this. Certainly a goal of mine now.
Awesome idea - looking forward to seeing more
Tiny block V8!
Was this your CAD design? Maybe make the model public so people can make parts that will bolt up to it in fusion 360 (good way to generate more interest in the platform) and have a TH-cam design contest to determine which parts to make. I’m a mechanical engineering student, so I’d love to try modeling the necessary parts to make this engine block into a fully workable engine, especially if they might get produced for free. I’m willing to bet there’s plenty of other folks who can do the same. Let’s see who can make the best complete engine design from a manufacturers perspective, then watch you machine it!
Why they should share the cad thats their own business you can foud on grabcad
Seconded
@@Bomboclaat31 because who TF is buying a model engine that doesn't even have a water jacket?
Nicely done, John! 👍
I like where this is going!
Firing order is off (I know that wasn’t the point of the video)
Besides that, it’s absolutely beautiful
Could you make a 200 hp V8 for a sportbike motorcycle?
This is absolutly amazing
Impressive bit of work, but you only learn by challenging yourself, I'll be looking forward to the next instalment on a working model. Cheers!
I heard "Wankel Engine"... I'm hooked...
I heard functional Wankel engine ..... sounds even more interesting ..... but this is youtube .....
Stop hypnotizing me!
Please keep going! Amazing!
Awesome John!

Chorme?
So...first: Gorgeous piece of a reallllly cool project! Really nice work, folks.
Second, why start from round stock? Was there a technical reason or just what you had?
Third, why set up off the unmachined side? Wouldn’t it be better to setup on the side you already machined since you knew the shape and dimensions? Or am I backwards, or does it not matter at all?
Not being argumentative, by the way, wanting to know.
Great questions! 2) Yup, what we had on hand, 3) not following the question
the first setup was for fixturing in the 5-axis trunnion, the rest doesn't matter because the whole thing is raw stock and there are no datums to be referenced off of yet (if that's what you meant)
@@nyccnc I rewatched and realized the answer there. So you machined the "bottom" that was going on to the trunion in that first op. I guess I didn't realize that was the end you mounted to the trunion bc it didn't LOOK machined from the outside...
the part he's chucking on doesn't matter because that's going to be decked off.
"to the trunion bc it didn't"
.... bc?
Sorry, but no mercy.
What a beast! Nice job.
YES!!! I was thinking the same when watching the vid, you most definitely need to do a functioning V8/wankel/straight, and stick it in an atv or something! Maybe even a collaboration with some other youtubers to get it running, ie; ignition and fuel, now that would be fun! 👌
Great job. Make it functional please. Thanks

Seems to be a clean Shop. Look at the dude in the background swinging the broom. Nice
It's really amazing to watch how single cnc machine can make whatever you want to
I just subscribed but I want to see that Wankle engine😀
!!! Warning Warning !!!
Viewer discretion is advised. Contents above will give you extra orgasm if you are a machinist. Watch at your own risk!!
On the serious note, you guys are awesome!!! and that Alex dude is a keeper.. lol
That is BEUTIFUL!!!! Please, please build a whole running engine. I know there are some bit, like the radiator, that can't be CNC'd, but that would be an awesome project to try to CNC as much as possible. You could possibly start producing custom engines!!!! So COOL!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's really cool! If your going to make a functional engine it'll be way cool to see how you go around oil and coolant passages in the block!
I curious about the oil and coolant passage too. Let me know if u know the answer please.
Cleanest Workshop ever. where i work, the oil drips from every wall, the air is cloudy from the cooland and the floor is black. i hate it.
Sounds like a typical machine shop to me. Cleaning it would be a never ending battle. Id just keep the metal shavings cleaned up and my work space organized and keep on moving.
@@vikinginfidel4293 ya,all good, but i taste the cooland,my eyes burn,i must search for any tools and stuff. Its not a modern thing, and workshops like that waste profit because of old behavior and dont realise that in those shops the most skilled people work.
@@Bollerkotze holy crap, that's definitely a health issue. I'm assuming you guys may not covered by OSHA. I'd invest in some PPE or see if the shop will provide it. I build powerlines for a living so OSHA is always up our asses, but it's a good thing because the company must provide PPE. Hard hats, safety glasses, leather gloves, FR clothes, and for obvious reasons, our rubber gloves and sleeves rated for the voltage we work on.
VikingInfidel what’s so Viking about you?
Bollerkotze you’ll end up with serious health problems if you stay there .
