Description
Discover how a combustion engine works by building your very own working model. Using the simplified instructions, piece together over 100 parts to build an engine with movement and lights.
This fantastic engine is a marvellous and fun way to learn all about how an internal combustion engine works. First the engine 'starts up' and then it runs 'firing' to show how the combusting fuel and air drives the pistons down to make the crankshaft turn.
Batteries required: 3 x 1.5v AA

Picked up an open box item at a thrift store. It was a gamble, but fortunately the only items missing were the tappets, the oil pan, one cam lobe and the instruction sheet. Even with no instructions and despite the missing items, I built it in under three hours and it does "work" although without complete function. Great product for young minds to visualize the internal workings.

Internal Combustion Engine
This is a very good product and just the ticket to engage my 11 year old grandson into the workings of an engine. Far better product than the Haynes engine just the screwdriver and the tight screws that lets this down otherwise I would have given it 5 stars

class favorite engine
this is a good product i think it is a very challenging piece and the screwdriver kept coming lose but over all it is a good product everyone like to look at it and asks how it was made the only thing is that it is very fiddly and can get mixed up easily. James mills year 11
