Introduction: Knex Engine Instruction Version

By
About: Hi, I love to build things with K'nex and share them with the rest of the world.

Hi guys. This Knex engine was published in 2014 and to this day it is never been updated with extra pictures or instructions. I liked the design of the engine so much that I started to build with what little the pictures showed on the original. I like to emphasize that it is not my design but a instructable on the original without one. the designer of this engine is Castroscity and his instructable is called ''Knex Engine''. I only made the engine because the gearbox has a certain type of double gear I don't have sadly. anyway are there still people interested in a instruction on how to make it? for now there will be some pictures of the finished engine.

Step 1: Some Images of the Engine

Some images for now, I will make instructables later

Step 2: Official Instructables on the Engine: the Casing and Crankshaft

The casing is easy to make, but be sure the spacers are correctly placed on the crankshaft, otherwise it won't run freely.

Step 3: Installing Pistons and Double Timing Camshaft

Same as the crankshaft, study the pictures good and make sure the spacers on the gears are correcty placed otherwise the gears won't connect right.

Step 4: Installing Cillinderheads and Preparations for Fuel Supply Control and Exhaust Release

Make sure the small grey gears are not pushed very far on the white rods, otherwise the will pull up a part of the cillinder head because the controll systems pulls it up further than it has reach.

Step 5: Installing Fuel Supply Control and Exhaust Release

make sure it is connected correctly or it will pull itself apart.

Step 6: Finished Engine

My engine only has 7 control systems for the fuel/exhaust because I ran out of the small black single Y connectors. I hope this Instructables was easy to follow if you came this far. If not you can comment below with questions and I will try to check in regurarly and see if someone needs help. For now bye and enjoy building :)
