I got mine last week and I assembled it in about a day and a half. It ran great until it broke the push rod for #1 cylinder exhaust valve and sheared the pin for the exhaust cam lobe. I have since fixed it. I recommend checking the lifters in the lifter guide plates to make sure they don't stick or bind. That was my issue.

This one’s definitely on my buy list. She looks the part and from what I’ve seen of other videos she sounds the part as well. I see they have come out with different colors now but I’m with you, orange is the way to go. I’ve been hanging out for the Flathead but they must be having some issues with it because they are taking their time to release it.

Yeah I was really impressed with the look of everything but the online directions might be a challenge to assemble it lol! the sound of the lumpy Idle gave me a chub and had to get one the flat head is close to going on the market I think they had an overwhelming presale buy on the OHV version but we hobbyists need that flathead version also because it's iconic! 👍

That engine is awesome, and smaller than I expected for its displacement which is a lot more than the Toyan. I've got some plans for one of these in the next year to shoehorn into a 1/8th street eliminator. I have the design and dimensions worked out, my only concern is the output shaft and clutch.

It's a really nice kit. I noticed the heads have oil gallies but no way to oil them. I guess they are oiled by splashing? Also the instructions are not clear on where to place the dip tubes for the oil filter and oil pick up inside the oil pan. I had to figure that one out myself. It's my first miniature v8 so it could be just me.

Hi Dennis, I have been putting mine together and am wondering what the torque specs are? The downloadable instruction might say but, they are in Chinese. I torqued the mains at 1.2Nm without a problem. I tried to torque the rods at .8 Nm and snapped the head of the fastener off. This is my first mini engine build so I need to find torque specs.

@@Stirlingkit that would be great! Then your engines can actually be used in an RC vehicle. LESU makes several 2 and 3 speed transmissions, but they are 1/14 scale. Extremely strong with all metal gears and housings and very detailed also. Made to fit Tamiya Semis. A multi gear trans would be amazing! I'm sure you guys will show up with something very cool. I'm imagining a typical GM style transmission housing, or maybe something more custom even, bolting on to that V8. If this comes to life, I'm seriously considering building a scale chassis for your customers to consider buying. I absolutely LOVE all the mini motors you guys have built. I'm subscribed to your YT and Instagram. Great stuff!
