[@saintshaggy1372]

Engineering Explained thanks bro!! Keep up the good work..

[@CikaGrma]

are there any other engines besides electric that are not ICE?

[@jessstuart7495]

Nice model! But, I bet you could pickup an old worn-out Chevy 350 smallblock for demonstration purposes for about 10% of the cost.

[@WalecGT]

How much does a 3d printed working engine like that cost ? and can you buy it somewere ?

[@eaglefat9398]

Did you print it? what type of plastic? ABS PLA PET?

[@MyDarkStar451]

Even my 30yr old teacher from the University where I study Mechanics watches your videos, so yeah, you should be proud of you Jason

[@EngineeringExplained]

30 ain’t that old!! Haha, happy to hear it, thanks!!

[@MyDarkStar451]

Engineering Explained yea,but he is going bald :)) u are lucky

[@KastaRules]

That's a *baby teacher.* Does he still wear a diaper?

[@MyDarkStar451]

KastaRules haha,hope not

[@pablotriana5167]

K.

[@TheBTRGarage]

Not sure which is cooler. That 3D model or the awesomeness which is the V8!

[@ClarkeSLR]

agreed! i would say...all two both lol

[@trollloloololooo]

The man who invented these

[@massid3774]

Easily the V8

[@Hallowsaw]

I like flat 6s better.

[@Trident_Euclid]

@@Hallowsaw don't you mean inline 6?

[@electronicsNmore]

Beautiful 3D printed engine.

[@bingysbackyard]

Someone needs to make these as actual engines in that scale... a 1.5 litre ls v8 would be a great engine conversion for fwd cars and small Japanese kei cars... a Suzuki cappuccino would be perfect example

[@danieljensen2626]

These 3D model videos are probably my favorite ones on this channel. Very helpful to see what's all going on. Great explanation from you and also obviously awesome work by the guy who makes these.

[@graemealex1]

I wore my Engineering Explained shirt to my physics test for good luck and I did really well on it. Thanks, Jason!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Disclaimer: Does not guarantee great results on physics tests! 😂 Haha, love it, thank you so much for purchasing one!

[@jasonhang647]

You need bill nye

[@Cruz0604]

Engineering Explained where can I buy one

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Great overview Jason!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks Matt! 😘

[@jakerubcich4211]

Both of you guys have great content and seem to be the few youtubers that don't sell out. Most people don't deal with the advertisement and offers that come with youtube fame like you guys do. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@fullofhopkins1322]

These videos are so helpful. Thanks for making them and not putting out bullshit clickbait or vlogs.

[@WorldWidedog0]

I’m a simple man, I see V8, I click on video.

[@EngineeringExplained]

I hear one, I smile, and then I buy a bunch of four-cylinders haha.

[@EncikKari3381]

I am Malaysian, I love American V8 cars.

[@gilbertgrape9969]

Mr F Greetings from America! We love em too!

[@m54P]

love it😂

[@ProfessionalFixologist]

Wait, how many cylinders again?! As usual, excellent explanation. Best car channel on youtube!

[@EngineeringExplained]

11!

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Engineering Explained Yea but I want it to go to 11

[@splob1981]

7 if it's a Chevy

[@NevinMuscle]

Actually it's 8 it's a hemi v8 , 8 cylinder

[@ProfessionalFixologist]

7 cylinders, got it!

[@richiev63]

As one that remembers the old "Visible V8" Revell model, and one that also drives an LS based car (2012 Camaro SS) I can really appreciate this video. As always, great job describing the mechanics behind a machine. I want that printed V8 :)

[@rsethc]

Very nice work, the pacing was excellent, and having the plastic model there to use for demonstration is a fantastic idea too.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Happy to hear it, thanks!!

[@Er.suabroboro]

Great job .You and the designer of the engine did stunning work to make it more realistic and easy to understand. It's simply splendid Jason👏👏👏👏👏

[@TheMick26]

Not a very original comment, but great video as always, Jason! Love this channel and all you put into it.👍 Cheers, buddy!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thank you!! Really appreciate you watching!

[@nitrorc1623]

You forgot to explain the essence of a V8. It's sound. Why does it sound so good? Is it the firing sequence?

[@DucatiDiaries]

Ah morning coffee and Engineering Explained. The perfect combo :O)

[@EngineeringExplained]

Love it, thanks for watching!!

[@DucatiDiaries]

Hey man. Please do a full in depth review of the 2018 Mustang GT. I would definitely give you mine if you're ever in the tri-state area.

[@NA-ck6cz]

Rated R Cars The best morning ritual

[@ricknoah9184]

I love that you will occasionally do "basics" videos. All the youngsters, coming up, can benefit from this. See if you can find a '3D printed' clutch and gearbox. That would make a pretty good educational video.

[@Deathscroll41]

The 3D printed model helped A LOT! I'm a late bloomer into mechanics and car culture, so I'm playing catch up. Guys like you making quality education videos for "us" visual learners is greatly appreciated.

[@gchetail]

Probably your best video ever. Suberp explanation, very easy to understand. Thank you!

[@keisuketakahasi4584]

i enjoy these simple explanations its the very basic first and gets more complicated and detail afterwards even tho english isnt my first language, i understand most of these newer videos, thank you very much :) keep on doing these awesome vids

[@jevontidavis1816]

The best exemplification (exhibition of the mechanical structure) of a V-8 engine I ever saw. 5-star demonstration.

[@jayfiverridesusa]

I'm going to have to watch this multiple times to fully understand. Thank you so much for this, and all the great videos on this channel! :)

[@TimLevi]

Thank you for such a detailed video. Always wondered why my car had such a confusing firing order. That complete model works great for explaing the engineering. Great work

[@Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8! 8 Cylinders! Ah-ah-ahh!

[@konstantinosrope-maker1228]

*No one cared who I was until I put on the mask*

[@941books2]

Count von Count from Sesame Street? Is that you?

[@LMacNeill]

Ok -- that is seriously one of the coolest 3D-printed models I've ever seen. Such *detail* in it!

[@steamboat1342]

This was Awesome! I am about to buy my first Muscle Car at 48 years old and learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to illustrate.

[@naveenyadav4298]

Your videos are amazing and I have watched more than 150 videos from your channel. Nice video thank you sir.

[@EngineeringExplained]

That's dedication, thank you for watching so many, glad you've enjoyed the channel! :)

[@HedgehogStudios1]

At first I was worried this was just going to be another video of how 4-stroke engines work, but I was pleasantly surprised. Great video!

[@timtravasos2742]

Superb. I never get tired of the genious of a V8.

[@Tain950]

You have the best vehicle channels on KZbin I’ve learned so much from you. Keep up the good work you’ll always have my support brother.

[@TheNavieus]

What a detailed 3D print. As usual, a great thorough explanation!

[@718vox]

I have never realized how complicated and ingenious a car engine could be. Amazing video!

[@Tsiri09]

Thank you. You always make things easy to understand, not like the "backyard mechanics' around here.

[@B4CMARO]

I find the LS and Gen 1s to be very simple and a great platform to learn off of. Thanks for the vid.

[@MrApolui]

This model is SO good!

[@dhoyt902]

I feel like I've been waiting for this one video for years! Thank you Jason! That 3d printed model should be mass produced for learning!

[@coscorrodrift]

i recommend watching EE's video on flatplane vs crossplane as well, really good video Jason

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks! Here's the link for anyone interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYXWpIt8bd6Em80

[@Jembot437]

I was just about to ask that, thanks!

[@chiefdenis]

i was just to ask about the link, bless your soul

[@CarsSimplified]

Those white background thumbnails you have been using lately are looking nice! I have definitely been seeing success with that style for a while. They really pop in search results that also happen to have white backgrounds.

[@derekteter982]

Never heard of a cross or flat-plane crank before this and it solved a lot of my confusion. Great video I really appreciate it.

[@Mental_Illboy]

Dude you explained this so well, even my girlfriend next to me say she gets it. Keep up the good work 👍🏿

[@sandboxsniping5300]

disregarding the engine work, lets just take some time and appreciate how far 3d printing has come, this is cool as hell.

[@kellensperduto4359]

your videos are amazing man, you are a great teacher. thank you for putting your videos out there and helping car enthusiast like myself.

[@ScionCrush]

V6 and I6 next! This was a great demonstration!

[@digitalchaos84]

That model is amazing, very well made and I love the little touch with the magnets

[@matthewmatthew638]

I am actually more hyped that someone actually created an open-source 3D-printable file for an LS3, now if only someone I know has a 3D Printer

[@StayPuffTruflle]

Saw the thumbnail and title and I was like,”Really? Another video explaining a basic engine?” And I watched it and ended up learning some things didn’t know 😳😳 Bravo monsieur

[@bassman7814]

Wow this video is amazing and simple to understand. I learned more about the operation of an engine in this short video than the entire school year I had auto mechanics in high school 😂. Thanks

[@SandiShila]

The most fully dedicated 3D print artwork ❤

[@PapaFowler7]

I just want to say that your videos are very informational and extremely helpful.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Love to hear it, thanks!!

[@dinohudson1432]

3D printed V8....... super nice!

[@joaoterrorista]

Searched for a flat plane vs a crossplane crackshaft video. found a yours from 2014. Still awesome content!

[@notmasterchief]

The best explained video I've ever seen on KZbin thanks Jason

[@ghaleon128]

I mean, I already knew how V8's work. I'm sure most of you do, as well. But we watched this anyway, just because this guy's channel is SO DAMN HYPNOTIC.

[@mars-jr5uu]

Hii😊

[@MrMnMade]

ok this model is the sickest thing ever! I want one for my collection shelf!!

[@verity9000]

Fabulous video, thank you! Clear, no-BS information like this is what makes the internet great.

[@MrNemo721]

Basically Gasoline and Air goes and glorious Horsepower, Sound and Magic comes out. Got it.

[@kinny4574]

I’ve been working with my dad building race engines and I have learnt more in this video than the past 5 weeks

[@cloroxbleach118]

you build race engines and you need an introductory youtube video explaining how they work? bahahaha

[@blackstep_dad2572]

Seeing the pistons work is so satisfying 🤤

[@Colinshreds69]

I'm gonna have to watch this about 50 more times. Great vid

[@jaredlarkin5775]

Thanks for the in-depth video, really helpful for someone getting into working on cars.

[@really-._.-]

Nice video, I appreciate videos like this, it gives me a chance to NOT be a total ignorant about engines. (In particular V8 engines)

[@androiduberalles]

I'm a simple man, I hear LS3, I hit like.

[@quinsomnia4934]

THank you for making these videos so visual- It's hell to try and read this information alone.

[@LRK1990]

I'd imagine v4 operate slightly different but from a person who never worked on engines this helps me to understand basic function for most part! Thx

[@huntercox1238]

Best video on an engine hands down

[@chrishantha.perera]

Only today I learnt this technique Thanks for posting

[@christianeshelman8195]

That's a sweet 3D model. Thanks for sharing man. I always learn something new from your videos. Much appreciated!

[@MrEo89]

I would love to see the exact same style video explaining a flat crank v8, comparing/contrasting them against a cross-plane crank in more detail. Ive been told that flat plane v8's make less low end torque, but are able to obtain much higher rpm's and hence higher horsepower. Which is subsequently (as I was told) why italian and german supercar companies use(d) them so often.(?) Great video!

[@DrifterD]

Gotta love my muscle cars and V8

[@kvasir40]

Magnificent clear and very visual explanation that is very easy to understand. Thank you.

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

V8 engines are my favorite. They They perfect for producing power and having durability. And as a Chevy man. I'm proud of the work Small block engines have done for millions world wide.

[@Furantzu]

Sweet! Was starting to think you didn't have love for our rumbling V8's, but I guess it was just a matter of time before you made the video, thanks Jason, it did help me understand especially the part about cross and flat plane. Cheers! 🤘

[@sherizaahd]

While I've abandoned the ICE driven cars as a dinosaur of the past (heh, puns). I find the engineering of them to be intriguing. excellent work sir!

[@DevasionX]

Aaron Williams its 2018, not 2048 haha wake up, 99,1% marketshare isnt really "abandoned"

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Fantastic, straightforward explanation, and i really liked the 3D printed engine. Great content from a great channel.

[@Duskconqueror]

Hey Jason, can you make a video about engine knock and how it is prevented? I'm thinking about the effect of different types of engine/intake air cooling, higher octane fuel, compression ratio, etc. This is more or less mentioned in a lot of video's but I couldn't find one that packs it all together. Loving your video's!

[@theocosta1100]

Very cool video ... Simple, direct .. thanks a lot for the class ...

[@b.s.adventures9421]

That 3D printed model is awesome. Nice video

[@conza1989]

Really want the flat plane version now, although I'm sure I could just read up on it again. Great video.

[@sogerc1]

Wow! This 3D printed engine is a really nice work!

[@ashwinmohan4503]

I love all your videos bro.. I feel we are kindred spirits.. I loved the interview with Car Throttle a long time back!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks!!

[@twistedyogert]

Very informative, I already knew about the "Otto Cycle" (the thermodynamic cycle that explains the functioning of all four cycle engines.) but I always thought that the V configuration was so complicated.

[@curtchase3730]

Excellent job explaining! Even I learned something! Nice 3D printed engine! Great video for a youngster or someone that doesn't have a clue as to how a typical car engine works. I found the reason for the compression leak...One head was a bit loose! LOL.

[@seanc.5381]

Thanks for the video mate, with the 3D Print model it is far more easier to understand how a V8 works now :P

[@jacobgravitt9796]

This helped me understand how counterbalances work. Thank you.

[@TheACDK]

thanks man i learned a lot during this video.I wasn't familiar with the LS's thanks to you.Keep up with the good work!

[@torque350hp]

Good video. And I'd add that its the cross plane crank layout that gives the common v8 its burgley rhythmic sound compared to an exotic that might have a flat plane which would sound more like two four cylinders instead.

[@theax40]

You forgot the most important thing about V8 engines: they sound amazing. Nothing else sounds as good as a big V8.

[@stephan5925]

The 3D-printed model is awesome!

[@chrisstork3595]

Jason, I love your electric car videos, and I'd love to see you explain the difference between the AC induction motor in a Tesla Model S/X and the switched reluctance motor in the Model 3. As I understand it, switched reluctance isn't a standard permanent magnet motor as we think of it (like in an electric drill, for example), but some sort of hybrid between induction and permanent.

[@chenurawinrada1071]

Thank you so much for your description about V8 engine

[@dandel351]

That's a great way to explain to people how a complex engine works.

[@samtaylor3681]

Thats a really cool 3d printed model, magnets to hold parts on and all , cool

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Love the videos appropriate length and fitting thumbnail! I hope to see V6 and 4 cylinder turbo additions to this series

[@nelesco]

Excellent video. We need more 3D printed materials!

[@hardevh4040]

I live for these videos ♥️♥️

[@marcopozzi522]

Aswome. That 3D printed model is incredibile

[@waydigga1982]

Another great vid/explanation Jason!

[@lstewartproductions]

Everydays a great day with a V8 under the hood

[@JK-ot6kb]

Updated how to drive stick video? I enjoy the way you explain things ;)

[@debicadude]

my life has changed for ever, thank you
