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
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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
A small block Chevy (also known as SBC engine) uses a distributor geared to the camshaft, that also drives the oil pump below. The firing order is also different, 18436572, fired using a distributor cap, rotor, and coil, to send electrical charges to the spark plugs. Modern engines, such as the LS blocks, use a coil on plug design, hence why distributors are phased out. You'll also note the use of a lifter galley on a SBC engine, as the camshaft is placed slightly higher above the crankshaft for the lifters to contact the cam, thus the pushrods are hidden away inside the galley along with the lifters. The galley is hence covered by the intake manifold, and sealed on both sides using gasket maker, and/or a cork gasket. One quick way to tell the difference between flat tappet and roller lifters is the use of a lifter retaining bracket "spider", which holds the roller lifters in place to keep the lifter and roller from spinning against the cam's lobe direction. Flat tappets have to rotate to wear evenly, so no lifter retainer bracket is used.
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
Also the 90° positioning of the Cylinder helps to cancel most of the vibrations. You can see motorcycles with 90° displacement without additional balancing shafts, but when the go 75 or 60° a balancing shaft with additional weight is required.
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!
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.
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
Hello, Engineering Explained ~ I've been told the #2 cylinder valve on my V8 is stuck open. It's either the intake valve or exhaust valve. It will cost $6,000 to have a new engine put in. I'm uncomfortable with the unexpected diagnostic stating I need a new engine. In fact, I'm dumbfounded. Watching your video helped me understand how the eight cylinders work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Next you should cover engine displacement (4.0L, 4.6L, 5.4L, etc) and the reason manufacturers refuse to accept that _there is no replacement for displacement_ :) Eventually I would love to see SOHC and DOHC discussed.
I always had an interest in the balance of an engine. I think it would be interesting to do a video like this on a V6 and also the balance between a 60 deg and 90 deg V6. I know 60 is better for balance while 90 is done so both a 6 and an 8 can come off the same assembly line to lower cost.
Wonderful video as usual. Glad you touched on the firing degrees. Would have been nice to have shown a firing arc graphic but that’s just me being picky.
Hope everyone's day is going wonderfully! If you enjoyed this style of video, here are a few others you might enjoy!

Engineering Explained thanks bro!! Keep up the good work..
are there any other engines besides electric that are not ICE?
Nice model! But, I bet you could pickup an old worn-out Chevy 350 smallblock for demonstration purposes for about 10% of the cost.
How much does a 3d printed working engine like that cost ? and can you buy it somewere ?
Did you print it? what type of plastic? ABS PLA PET?
Even my 30yr old teacher from the University where I study Mechanics watches your videos, so yeah, you should be proud of you Jason
30 ain’t that old!! Haha, happy to hear it, thanks!!
Engineering Explained yea,but he is going bald :)) u are lucky
That's a *baby teacher.* Does he still wear a diaper?
KastaRules haha,hope not
K.
Beautiful 3D printed engine.
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
Not sure which is cooler. That 3D model or the awesomeness which is the V8!
agreed! i would say...all two both lol
The man who invented these
Easily the V8
I like flat 6s better.
@@Hallowsaw don't you mean inline 6?
I wore my Engineering Explained shirt to my physics test for good luck and I did really well on it. Thanks, Jason!
Disclaimer: Does not guarantee great results on physics tests! 😂 Haha, love it, thank you so much for purchasing one!
You need bill nye
Engineering Explained where can I buy one

Great overview Jason!
Thanks Matt! 😘

I’m a simple man, I see V8, I click on video.
I hear one, I smile, and then I buy a bunch of four-cylinders haha.
I am Malaysian, I love American V8 cars.
Mr F Greetings from America! We love em too!
love it😂
Very nice work, the pacing was excellent, and having the plastic model there to use for demonstration is a fantastic idea too.
Happy to hear it, thanks!!
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👏👏👏👏👏
Wait, how many cylinders again?! As usual, excellent explanation. Best car channel on youtube!
11!
Engineering Explained
Yea but I want it to go to 11
7 if it's a Chevy
Actually it's 8 it's a hemi v8 , 8 cylinder
7 cylinders, got it!
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 :)
These videos are so helpful. Thanks for making them and not putting out bullshit clickbait or vlogs.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8! 8 Cylinders! Ah-ah-ahh!
*No one cared who I was until I put on the mask*
Count von Count from Sesame Street? Is that you?
Not a very original comment, but great video as always, Jason! Love this channel and all you put into it.👍 Cheers, buddy!
Thank you!! Really appreciate you watching!

i recommend watching EE's video on flatplane vs crossplane as well, really good video Jason
Thanks! Here's the link for anyone interested: ua-cam.com/video/_TssXF8yQek/v-deo.html
I was just about to ask that, thanks!
i was just to ask about the link, bless your soul
Ok -- that is seriously one of the coolest 3D-printed models I've ever seen. Such *detail* in it!
I have never realized how complicated and ingenious a car engine could be. Amazing video!
The best exemplification (exhibition of the mechanical structure) of a V-8 engine I ever saw. 5-star demonstration.
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
I find the LS and Gen 1s to be very simple and a great platform to learn off of. Thanks for the vid.
V6 and I6 next! This was a great demonstration!
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.
Seeing the pistons work is so satisfying 🤤
The most fully dedicated 3D print artwork ❤
I’ve been working with my dad building race engines and I have learnt more in this video than the past 5 weeks
you build race engines and you need an introductory youtube video explaining how they work? bahahaha
3D printed V8....... super nice!
What a detailed 3D print. As usual, a great thorough explanation!
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!
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
Probably your best video ever. Suberp explanation, very easy to understand. Thank you!
This model is SO good!
Basically Gasoline and Air goes and glorious Horsepower, Sound and Magic comes out. Got it.
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
That model is amazing, very well made and I love the little touch with the magnets
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
Thank you. You always make things easy to understand, not like the "backyard mechanics' around here.
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! :)
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.
Superb. I never get tired of the genious of a V8.
Ah morning coffee and Engineering Explained. The perfect combo :O)
Love it, thanks for watching!!
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.
Rated R Cars The best morning ritual
disregarding the engine work, lets just take some time and appreciate how far 3d printing has come, this is cool as hell.
Your videos are amazing and I have watched more than 150 videos from your channel.
Nice video thank you sir.
That's dedication, thank you for watching so many, glad you've enjoyed the channel! :)
Searched for a flat plane vs a crossplane crackshaft video. found a yours from 2014. Still awesome content!
You have the best vehicle channels on UA-cam I’ve learned so much from you. Keep up the good work you’ll always have my support brother.
That's a great way to explain to people how a complex engine works.

THank you for making these videos so visual- It's hell to try and read this information alone.
I just want to say that your videos are very informational and extremely helpful.
Love to hear it, thanks!!
your videos are amazing man, you are a great teacher. thank you for putting your videos out there and helping car enthusiast like myself.
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
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!
Thanks for the in-depth video, really helpful for someone getting into working on cars.
Best video on an engine hands down
Nice application of 3D printing
Also the 90° positioning of the Cylinder helps to cancel most of the vibrations. You can see motorcycles with 90° displacement without additional balancing shafts, but when the go 75 or 60° a balancing shaft with additional weight is required.

Thats a really cool 3d printed model, magnets to hold parts on and all , cool
ok this model is the sickest thing ever! I want one for my collection shelf!!
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.
Hii😊
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
Dude you explained this so well, even my girlfriend next to me say she gets it.
Keep up the good work 👍🏿
Really want the flat plane version now, although I'm sure I could just read up on it again. Great video.

This helped me understand how counterbalances work. Thank you.
Fabulous video, thank you! Clear, no-BS information like this is what makes the internet great.
That 3D printed model is awesome.

Aswome. That 3D printed model is incredibile
I'm gonna have to watch this about 50 more times. Great vid
Excellent video. We need more 3D printed materials!
I'm a simple man, I hear LS3, I hit like.
Only today I learnt this technique
Thanks for posting
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.
Wow! This 3D printed engine is a really nice work!
And this channel is one of the reasons I am studying Mechanical Engineering at university.
Gotta love my muscle cars and V8
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!
Aaron Williams its 2018, not 2048 haha wake up, 99,1% marketshare isnt really "abandoned"
Those model engines are awesome
Love the videos appropriate length and fitting thumbnail! I hope to see V6 and 4 cylinder turbo additions to this series
Thanks. I'll use this video for explanations
The 3D-printed model is awesome!
my life has changed for ever, thank you
This is so sick.i want a model like this would be nice to have to show kids how an engine works
Fantastic, straightforward explanation, and i really liked the 3D printed engine.
Great content from a great channel.

You forgot the most important thing about V8 engines: they sound amazing. Nothing else sounds as good as a big V8.
Nice video, I appreciate videos like this, it gives me a chance to NOT be a total ignorant about engines. (In particular V8 engines)
The wonders of human ingenuity ❤️
I would love to see something like this for V12's or W16 motors or if you are really daring you could go into some of the more exotic engine configs.
I always had an interest in the balance of an engine. I think it would be interesting to do a video like this on a V6 and also the balance between a 60 deg and 90 deg V6. I know 60 is better for balance while 90 is done so both a 6 and an 8 can come off the same assembly line to lower cost.

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