Not worth more though. - This is a pretty cool kit. Some of the parts have a lot of moulding flash so some work with a craft knife, file, sandpaper etc will be necessary if you want this to fit together as well as it can and look as good as possible. I built it with my car mad 15 year old daughter and it does show the basic mechanics of a V8 very well. I'm not convinced many 10 year olds could manage this unaided. The very many screws are tiny but thankfully all the same and there are plenty of spares. It has two distributors, one for each bank, driven off the cam shafts which is not usually how a real set up is and these are, again a little bit fiddly to install. You need to read the instructions! Nevertheless it all worked first time. We used some tiny zip ties to tidy up the ignition leads and hold them away from the exhaust manifolds. On the whole, really pleased. It looks great put together. Review: working model of a V8 engine - A good model when built showing all the working parts of the engine. However when building pay particular attention to the diagrams as the placing of some parts are not mentioned in the text.

However when building pay particular attention to the diagrams as the placing of some parts are not mentioned in the text. Overall a very good model, enjoyable to build and worth the price, ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfactory *by G***T on 16 February 2024* For the cost, it’s ok. It is not an easy build for novices.Im 78 and worked as a mechanic from age 14 through to 66. I have worked on the real thing many times. The kit is what it say, just a toy not even educational. For a start it should have just 1 distributor, no matter how hard I try I cannot get the two distributors to work in the correct timing sequence, but all β€˜Spark Plugs’ light up ant to the untrained eye light up in order. The only reason I needed the assembly instructions was due to the moulding of parts. However if you follow the instructions, clean up moulding tags etc and take your time, all parts fit correctly and the basic operation works well. Yes the timing gear was dodgy but all held in place once the timing cover was fitted. A big problem was the poorly made β€˜Camshafts’, one was machined pretty well but the second was very hit and miss. With patients and my mechanical knowledge I was able to fit all parts together. Overall I was pleased with the finished item, it resembles a V8. Do not listen to the sounds, just a noise and nothing like an engine at idle, or even being revved up, shocking noise so just be aware. Would I buy it again ? After some deliberation, Yes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Machine Works Build Your Own Porsche 911 Boxer Engine Toy - Replica Model Building Kit - Features Sounds and Illumination, 280+ Pieces, 10+ Years - LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR Race Car Model Building Kit 42096, Advanced Replica, Exclusive Collectible Set, Gift for Kids, Boys & Girls - LEGO Icons Porsche 911 10295 Building Set, Collectible Turbo Targa, 2in1 Porsche Race Car Model Kit for Adults and Teens to Build, Gift Idea --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/247686651-machine-works-build-your-own-porsche-911-boxer-engine-toy](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/247686651-machine-works-build-your-own-porsche-911-boxer-engine-toy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
