Wow, that does look good. I used to like building Lego too.
I did a model V8 a few years back (not Lego) which was battery powered and had moving valves, cylinders, etc, think it was the "Haynes" one?
There are detailed enough so you actually see how an engine works and the mechanics of it all.

That looks like a complicated build

Wow, that looks great fun. I still love lego, and this looks like the best of lego technics and then some.
Looks great. Should be a fun build.
I would love a go at that build. Have you ordered it?
It's a fun subject. I have got it and made a start. It is pretty much lego style pieces maybe a little less quality (Chinese version) but pretty good. I am already suffering from lego thumb. You knbow that dull ache when you have been squeezing small parts together for a couple of hours. I have so far spent about 4 hours on bag number 1 of 7.

Looking really good tempted to get one of the many on the British amazon site for my stash 
Got to love a bit of Lego or Chinese version.
This is certainly one of the most complex Lego style models that I have attempted. Partly because the instructions are no where near as fool proof as the Lego versions. Having said that I am having a great time building (and frequently undoing and rebuilding) this. In the first picture I have assembled what I presume is the twin turbos valve system, all of which works, and which was quite a challenge to get right. In the second I have added the timing chains and the rocker covers. I am not a well informed mechanic so my terms may well be off.

Very nice John. How big is this model when completed?
Coming along really well. I suppose you have to check and double check each stage very carefully. An error at one stage would upset later stages.
Not just a V8, but quad cam as well. Very nice.
