Inline-8 piston engine [No Mods]

Description
TLDR: Big boy THICC piston engine. Have fun.

So, I had built an inline 4 engine following some tutorial off youtube (I don't remember which one, there's dozens of them.). And after experimenting with it for a while, I wanted to try and make a version that ran more smoothly, without all the random spazams and flying off into the distance when you take it off the lift. So I doubled the engine size. Doing so created the need for a seperate timing segment, which added a bit more length, and after several iterations, I have come to this monstrosity.

It runs VERY smooth. More so than I anticipated, to be honest. Its kinda trippy. I adjusted the far side connection so that it wouldn't try and launch itself, and it has helped to mitigate the torque. I haven't figured out a fix for the camshaft flexing, but its not really much of an issue unless you maximize the output. Have fun with it. And if you make something with it, tag me. I really wanna see what can be done with it.

All work in this model is original, and my own. Do not repost, copy, or claim credit for this design.
