I remember assembling a "Visible V8" model kit (clear block, heads, pan and valve covers, with metallic colored crank, rods, pistons, cam, and valve train) around 1960. Of course it didn't run, but with the starter motor turning it over and little red bulbs lighting in time at the end of the spark plugs, it was easy to see and fully understand the four stroke engine cycle and how the entire engine worked, especially for being only ten years old at the time. Went on to apprentice under a master mechanic after college and could always fully comprehend and appreciate what was actually happening in an engine, right or wrong. Not sure if my Mom knew she was starting me on my career centered around automobiles at that early age by giving me that wonderful Christmas gift. Thanks for this video!
