Now if someone can figure out a way to arrange a
(Lego) V8 crankshaft to bend 4 directions instead of 2, I will repent from the
sin of butchering Legos!

Here is my V8 with 5 bearings. It has standard small block chev firing order,
and uses the FOS system to simulate spark plugs/injectors. The only downside is
that using the Technic mounts means it doesn’t have the correct 90 degree angle
between cylinder heads.
I’ve also found the friction is somewhat greater than normal, this may be
because the crankshaft pieces force a width slightly greater than 2 studs, but I
haven’t tested that theory yet. I built it for use in another project which has
been on the backburner for a while.
