Hey all,
(second attempt to post due to virus eating bandwidth)
Here is an idea i’ve been playing with for a while during my first super car
developement.
|

It has four possitions on the crank and the engine block can be 8 studs in
length. Drawback is that it increases the stoke of the piston from 1 stud to
about 1.4 (check with Pythagorus) so this makes it unable to fit into the
newer “V” engine mounts. http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/32333.jpg
I don’t see this as a major problem as an adequet mount should be able to be
built with studs.
|
I don’t think it should be a major problem either, because the angle of the
cylinder blocks on those mounts is wrong for a V8 anyway ;)
| |
Another thing of note is the distance from the first piston to the drive
axel. With convention LEGO engines this is 1/2 stud. with this design it is 2
studs + the half bush.
|
That could be a problem in shorter vehicles, but not insurmountable, I think.
| |
The LEGO engine with 8 cylinders will always have 4 pistons at the same place
in its respective cylinder. This design will reduces that to 2; and those
particular pistons will be on different banks so less noticable. Next step is
16 cylinders, 8 studs long....

BTW, this is my first work with electronic lego/rendering
|
Looks great - thanks for the tip!
