I have so many actually functioning engines laying around in my garage and in my cellar, I don't need another one, especially not one with a lot of big holes in the cylinder block and cylinder head. One of those sterling engines would have been cool to see you build and test though. That's more interesting to me.
I actually flared the headers down, 4 on each side. Looks cool but I wish I had 8 more headers to complete the model to my liking. I have not been able to find them sold seperatly from sterling. Since you didn't use yours would you be willing to sell and ship them to me?
Interesting.... A question: is it made of metal or plastic? Thank you and congratulations on the channel and your content... you are an artist. Best regards It sounds like metal... Sorry for the question,,, I had that doubt.
@@Loulovesspeed Thats what I did. Flared them down and back. Problem is they send only 8 headers and to do it awesome you need 8 more. Kinda disappointed about that....
@@ChaserTiponi ?? Why do you think it needs 8 more headers? I actually chuckled at the fact that this 4 cyl. engine has 8 headers, since real 4 cyl engines have 1 per cylinder. They did the same thing on the V8 giving it 2 pipes per cylinder. Headers only come out one side on a 4 banger while the induction system, carbs or F.I. come out the other side.
@@Loulovesspeed True that! I have them split from side to side. I likely have the exhaust hooked to the intake lol. But still the engine has no intake and the headers make it pop....Over all its a stupid design with no intake! Point taken...
@@ChaserTiponi - I think you are neglecting to understand that this model is not intended to exactly replicate an actual auto engine, but serve as a demonstration model showing the primary moving parts in a typical I4 or V8. That is why it has cutaway portions, which obviously real engines do not have. There are other more detailed kits out there that are plastic and have clear blocks and heads in order to view the moving portions. Remember too, that this metal kit is made in China! Enough said.
@That motor in the alternator serves no purpose at all, at least not from supplying any power, so no wires need to be hooked up to it. Why the manufacturer wasted money on putting in a useless motor is beyond me!
I completely understand that! It IS expensive. But when you get the kit and experience the quality it's easy to see they probably can't deliver for less. Machining all these metal parts and allowing for profit must have been difficult. Besides I was maticulous but I had 5 or 6 hours in the build myself. It worked perfectly when finished though...No adjustments needed as I did all that along the way.
I wish these kits weren't so expensive. I'd love to build one.

My only gripe with kits like these, is that it's often cheaper to buy a real engine from China and dis-assemble, rebuild and actually works!
I bought a car for £300 lol
@@charliepayy Exactly!!! (want to buy another?)
Yes but some people don’t have the space or tools to work on actual size motors
Huh? You missed the point completely. And where are you finding a 4 cylinder engine for this price?
Stirling has a real model gas powered 4 cylinder kit, which is great!
Looking amazing, thanks for sharing all the steps. Had a look at their site, quite pricey but very cool indeed 👍
that model cost more than my car. i can literally use my whole car as an instructional peice. that price tag is insane

What a neat kit. I’ve got to get one. Thanks for sharing.
hello we have a lot of this kind of engines to choose. you can check it here: bit.ly/39FRIHT
They forgot a Led in the spark plugs to simulate the ignition.
Very nice but out of my price range
Super Build 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Very cool kit would love to have one but to much money Wright now for me maybe later on but very cool thanks for sharing
Very Cool Engine Model kit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great looking kit and great build looks really cool 👌
Drop the price sterling and you’ll have more buyers
@halfpolecat - That's true of everything!

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Thank you
Love this kit, who new. Thanks for sharing. But, I miss the exaust. 🥺
I agree, and I would use the exhaust and probably angle the pipes towards the rear for more accurate look.

awesome kit, nice work on this, looking forward to more!
Oh wow, very nice!!!! 👍👍👍
Pretty cool

A detailed modeler could solder wires on it to make it more realistic. Not a total loss there IMHO
are these metal or plastic parts?
Metal
Nice kit, but to expansive for an couple of hours to build to be honest.

No distributor?
No?
this is an electric engine model. it's not fuel-powered.
Yeah. Too expensive. (for me)
When you said functional, I thought it would actually run. Like this: ua-cam.com/video/WfAFw-LUx3Y/v-deo.html
What's the price on one of those?
hello, it's electric. it's fun to build it with your kids.
@@Stirlingkit I know. I'm not badmouthing it. I just thought from the title that it was something different.
@@saucydayzvt8vh Holy crap! I looked it up. They're like $1200.00.
@@bradleyj.fortner2203 ok. it's battery-powered. it can run.
