CISON Gasoline OHV V8 Small-block Engine Model Kits 4-Stroke 44cc Water-Cooled 1/6

Its one of the best engines Cison has come out with. Its a fun challenge to build as its a full-blown engine! This engine takes time to build, it has a fair bit going for it. And i love it! Let me set some important points.

-Dual stage water pump is brilliant. Each bank receives their own fluid to stay cool, they then join at the back and route though under the intake where it conveniently comes out the front of the intake manifold! The pump is also a gear setup, so no more lack of waterflow like Cison had with the L4. This is a massive improvement overall! Good job guys!

It has a fully developed oiling system so everything stays lubricated! By a small 3D printed metal tube. Its directly fed directly by the oil pump. This squirts oil onto, camshaft and crankshaft! Even the rocker assembly! That will drain past the lifters keeping them oiled, and back into the oilpan. This greatly prolongs the life of parts inside the engine! And when yer reving to 10,000 RPM thats very important. The pistons even have an oil scraper ring, which will prevent the engine from eating its oil, reduse sleeve wear by keeping proper lubrication, and reducing carbon buildup.

Having a distributor to adjust makes setting the timing much easier. Simply rotating the distributor will advance or retard the timing on the fly. No more having to set a hallsensor in the correct spot! The shaft being made from metal also ensures longevity of the distributor! The crank pulley even has timing marks to make setting the timing much easier!! Now you know where TDC is on piston one!

the engine is absolutely gorgeous, there are other small V8 engines out there from Howin, to Toyan even Enjomor. But Cison has knocked the ball out of the park with this one.

Building it you have this sense of awe, that something with such power, was made so small. The fact a litteral v8 engine can sit on my desk and rip away is still mind boggling to me. You chuckle a little thinking about it.

When you get the engine take a pause and take a look at the parts of the engine. Youll start to appreciate the ammount of detail and craftsmanship that went into this engine. Its smooth, solid, everything fits together like a really good lwell built engine set. It was done with intention not just because. It does not feel like it was hobbled together at all. Like they really took the time to make such a wonderful thing. You see it on the website photos, they went from an o-ring setup to a proper belt system. This is true craftsmanship. A whole other level of engine building.

And I only own this one V8 engine. I saved up for months to get this engine as my first. I have lots of other engines i love as well. But none have impressed me as much as this engine has. This raises the bar entirley.

Cmon.

How often can you say a fully functional V8 engine fits in the palm of your hand? Its mind boggling.

If you are looking for a proper SMALL v8 engine. As a desk toy, boat engine, or even to put in a square body. Beginner or not. I highly reccomend Cisons. I haven't gotten to start it yet as i need to wait for the mounts. But knowing how good the L4 was itself. I have 0 doubts this engine will give me issues. ill be eager as i wait! I reccomend you get one! You can even choose from 4 diffrent colors!
