Step 4: Cylenders

I added two battery powered k'nex motors to a gear and it works great.
i've buidl your engine its in mine knex car now
another picture
cool
how does the crank shaft connect into one piece so that when you turn the crank it moves as one? - thanks
How do o connect the y connecter on the second step
its atached to the short white rod in the mittle of the piston
will this fit in my 74 nova? ; ]
sure will ;D.
If you wanted to, how would you add valves and rocker arms to this?
i forgot how. it shouldent be that hard to make
I've tried... and failed. I just don't know how! >:-0 I need to make this for next week for a school science fair, and I NEED HELP!!!! is there any models or anything that you used to help you in the makings of your engine or anything? Or, if you remember, could you contact me at williamcondie@hotmail.ca please? Thanks!
i made this 3 years ago but if you wach my video--- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Q9RbXeMHc <br>you can stop the video when you see the valves, i used elastic bands for it but it wound work better with small springs. its all a got to help you so i hope it works out for you.
Thanks! The rocker arms are on and the engine works fine! :-D
TO MAKE IT RUN USE A CORDLESS DRILL TO ONE END OF THE CRANK SHAFT ITS REALLY COOL
thats what i did. it runs really well
instead of using black hinges can we use one gray connector and allternate through the crank shaft so its a v4 ND NOT A V8
you could cut it to make one. it won't be a V engine, you would make it a inline engine.
mine wont run it just jams, should i build again??<br>
check the place were it is jamed and fix it
done that thanks a lot brilliant engine m8<br>ive got an update of it on my profile,
i found it, donjt push the rod into the white piston pushee thing or they dont turn
how did you make the connection between the yellow en the gray rod? <br> <br>I seriously don't get it =.=
You don't join them<br>
can this power a gokart??
that would be one POWERFUL go kart. lol
plz make vid on how to make the pistons
wont it cease up if i dont oil it though lol jokes
with a real engine lol
dude it was a joke it will not cease up its knex
this is the step that nothing fits together and the whole thing smashes into pieces right?
the green rods should snap on between the the red connectors
Ah... Well I Kind Of Dismantled It But Thanks Anyway!
no hes the wo(man) LOL<br />
thanks for the disign i saw it a few months ago and i made my own but bigger and with a 3 speed transsmision 1st,2nd,reverse,and park it also has rocker arms and perfect timing thank u i really like it<br /> <br />
would it be possible to instead of puting those black pecies on couldnt i use he grey ones<br /> <br />
learn to spell!!!
You're the man<br />
thanks
We need more info on where the beige connectors go
wait never mind i've done it now!
you spelt pistons wrong, just to let you know
oh
can u upload a pic that i can c what to do on the second step on the 7th slide plz!
the last pic shows you what you should do with the 7th pic.
how long this take u to make?
1 or 2 hours, depends how fast you are.
Steps 8 to 10 are very confusing can you post some side pics of those?
I don't see any thing thats confusing about it.
yes very confusing, i think those are pics of different sides, also later, we need close ups of the beige pcs and how they line up
