World's Smallest V8 Engine Hits 10,500 RPM on Nitro (1.7 Cu In 28cc)

i've been waiting so many years for a company to  actually mass produce this and it just showed up today  this is a 1.7 cubic inch v8 overhead  cam engine that runs on nitro about 28 cc's   this thing looks absolutely incredible just  an insane amount of detail this has to be the   craziest miniature engine that toyan has came  out with so far dual carburetors overhead cams   a complete cooling system electric starter this  thing just comes 100 complete with headers and   all it even has mufflers i'll show it to you next  to a drill to give you a better idea of the size   of this engine so i'm just going to jump right  into it open this engine up take a look inside   and see how it's built i especially want to see  the main bearings underneath for the crankshaft   and then i'm going to set this thing up start  it up and see if it sounds as mean as it looks and i'm going to leave most of the grease in place  but let me spin this so we can see how it works i feel the compression already feels  pretty smooth now let me remove that   oil pan and take a look at the crankshaft bearings this little V8 engine actually looks really amazing in person, I'm not just saying it for the camera...lbvs here's inside of our crank case and this the main  thing i wanted to see looks like they learned   from the l400 and this time they put a bearing  on every single cap for the mains that means i   could rev this thing sky high and i shouldn't  have to worry about breaking the crankshaft   if you look closely there you can see that they  have a front and rear main oil seal that's also   good news because that means that there shouldn't  be oil coming out of the actual crankcase cover   and the middle three bearings look like plain  bearings but i'm gonna pop this seal out and see   if we can see inside of there i think the front  and the rear are actually ball bearings take a   look inside of there you can see that the front  and rear bearings are ball bearings there's two   thrust bearings right here which is really nice  keeps the crankshaft from going back and forth   connecting rods look like billet connecting rods  it's nice to see that the bottom end is built up   like that should take a lot of abuse without  further ado let's get this thing started up here we go i bled the cooling system the best i   could and use this little overflow tank  let's start it up and see how it sounds Hows the engine sound? MUSIC or Noise? let me know what you think in the comments! just like that a whole tank of fuel is gone that  fast wow that did not sound like i thought it   was gonna sound it sounds like the engine is  suffocating like it wants to breathe so bad   but it just can't so the next  thing i'm gonna do is i'm gonna cut   the back of that muffler off to  make sort of a header collector   and then start it up again see how it sounds  i'm going to cut this just like a harley that looks much better i'm all done let's get this thing started  i'm gonna start it up like this with the   open collectors and see how it sounds and then i  have one more idea in mind after this let's do it definitely sounds better one thing that i do find about this  engine you have to let it warm up   a bit before it stays idling  i guess just like a real v8 what do you think? does it sound any better? I cant help but to want the engine to sound meaner and louder oh that sucker smells hot i was a full throttle  run for an entire tank of fuel and it smells a   little burned up but we hit 10 500 rpm as the  maximum rpm that thing is screaming but yeah   that's how fast an entire tank of fuel burns up  at full throttle i don't know what was that like   30 seconds 45 seconds and this thing is hot this  thing is smoking our radiator feels pretty cool   but oh the lines are really hot and the engine  man that engine's got to be 250 degrees and i do   have a fan hooked up to the radiator right here  with the overflow tank we could see some steam   inside of that overflow tank there  uh yeah that was the maximum rpm run   over 10 000 rpm and it still doesn't sound like  it's really breathing to me i bet you i can hit   12000 or 15000 rpm on this i'm gonna do one more  thing before i end this video i'm gonna remove   both of these exhaust headers take off the valve  cover put the high-speed camera on this and then   do one more run to see if we can get it to be  just a little bit louder and sound just more   angry looks like the grease has settled  down a bit from those runs that's good   we'll have a nice clear look at the rockers the  buckets and the cam with the high speed camera   see how this thing sounds without the headers and  how it looks without the valve covers here we go that sounds better i have to admit that was pretty cool this engine  is legit not only did it start up and run straight   out of the box but it also ran at full throttle  for over three and a half minutes during this   shoot and it's still running right now not to  mention it hit over 10000 rpm without even   tuning it so that right there is impressive this  engine is definitely a beast and now there's oil   everywhere oh yeah this is a cool engine i'll  leave links to this engine in the description   below as well as a discount code hopefully  you enjoyed the video i really enjoyed that   full throttle run and seeing that thing scream  at over 10000 rpm i hope you did too tell me   what you think in the comments below don't forget  to subscribe and i'll see you in the next video

There used to be a company named Conley that built small scale V8's and cars to house them (I remember them having a Cobra and a model A or similar roadster). I don't think the company is around anymore, but you can find videos on YouTube. They even made an appearance on Tim Allen's show within a show "Tool Time" (which was part of his show "Home Improvement").
