3D Printed LS3 Camaro V8 Engine Model:
www.thingiverse.com/thing:191...
V8 engines operates under the same basic principles as any other gasoline four-stroke engine. First the piston pulls in air and fuel as it moves downward, then it compresses that air and fuel as the piston moves upward. A spark plug fires, igniting the air/fuel mixture and forcing the piston downward. Finally the piston pushes out the exhaust gases on its way back up, before for the cycle repeats itself.
In a V8 engine, this cycle is happening in 8 different cylinders, at different times. Instead of multiple cylinders firing at the same time, you want them to be spread out so that power delivery is smooth. For this Chevy V8, the firing or is 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3. With 8 cylinders, there is a cylinder firing for every 90 degrees of the crankshaft rotating, which means at any point in time, there are two cylinders on the power stroke.
With regards to the valvetrain, the intake air comes from the top of the engine, and into the sides of the cylinder head. The exhaust flows to the sides of the engine, exiting the exhaust valves from the cylinder head. In this LS3 model, there is a single intake valve and a single exhaust valve, though it’s also common to see engines with two intake valves and two exhaust valves. The larger valve is the intake valve, and the smaller valve is the exhaust valve.
The pushrod valvetrain gets its name from the metal pushrods which activate the rocker arms which open up the valves. The camshaft, located in the center of the V, has lobes on it which push the push rods up, opening the appropriate valves. For a full explanation of V8 engines, check out the video!

Engineering Explained thanks bro!! Keep up the good work..
are there any other engines besides electric that are not ICE?
Nice model! But, I bet you could pickup an old worn-out Chevy 350 smallblock for demonstration purposes for about 10% of the cost.
How much does a 3d printed working engine like that cost ? and can you buy it somewere ?
Did you print it? what type of plastic? ABS PLA PET?
Even my 30yr old teacher from the University where I study Mechanics watches your videos, so yeah, you should be proud of you Jason
30 ain’t that old!! Haha, happy to hear it, thanks!!
Engineering Explained yea,but he is going bald :)) u are lucky
That's a *baby teacher.* Does he still wear a diaper?
KastaRules haha,hope not
K.
Not sure which is cooler. That 3D model or the awesomeness which is the V8!
agreed! i would say...all two both lol
The man who invented these
Easily the V8
I like flat 6s better.
@@Hallowsaw don't you mean inline 6?
Beautiful 3D printed engine.
Someone needs to make these as actual engines in that scale... a 1.5 litre ls v8 would be a great engine conversion for fwd cars and small Japanese kei cars...
a Suzuki cappuccino would be perfect example
I wore my Engineering Explained shirt to my physics test for good luck and I did really well on it. Thanks, Jason!
Disclaimer: Does not guarantee great results on physics tests! 😂 Haha, love it, thank you so much for purchasing one!
You need bill nye
Engineering Explained where can I buy one
I’m a simple man, I see V8, I click on video.
I hear one, I smile, and then I buy a bunch of four-cylinders haha.
I am Malaysian, I love American V8 cars.
Mr F Greetings from America! We love em too!
love it😂
These 3D model videos are probably my favorite ones on this channel. Very helpful to see what's all going on. Great explanation from you and also obviously awesome work by the guy who makes these.
Great overview Jason!
Thanks Matt! 😘
Hey matt
Both of you guys have great content and seem to be the few youtubers that don't sell out. Most people don't deal with the advertisement and offers that come with youtube fame like you guys do. Keep up the awesome videos!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8! 8 Cylinders! Ah-ah-ahh!
*No one cared who I was until I put on the mask*
Count von Count from Sesame Street? Is that you?
Ah morning coffee and Engineering Explained. The perfect combo :O)
Love it, thanks for watching!!
Hey man. Please do a full in depth review of the 2018 Mustang GT. I would definitely give you mine if you're ever in the tri-state area.
Rated R Cars The best morning ritual
Wait, how many cylinders again?! As usual, excellent explanation. Best car channel on youtube!
11!
Engineering Explained
Yea but I want it to go to 11
7 if it's a Chevy
Actually it's 8 it's a hemi v8 , 8 cylinder
7 cylinders, got it!
Not a very original comment, but great video as always, Jason! Love this channel and all you put into it.👍 Cheers, buddy!
Thank you!! Really appreciate you watching!
Very nice work, the pacing was excellent, and having the plastic model there to use for demonstration is a fantastic idea too.
Happy to hear it, thanks!!
As one that remembers the old "Visible V8" Revell model, and one that also drives an LS based car (2012 Camaro SS) I can really appreciate this video. As always, great job describing the mechanics behind a machine. I want that printed V8 :)
Great job .You and the designer of the engine did stunning work to make it more realistic and easy to understand.
It's simply splendid Jason👏👏👏👏👏
The 3D printed model helped A LOT! I'm a late bloomer into mechanics and car culture, so I'm playing catch up. Guys like you making quality education videos for "us" visual learners is greatly appreciated.
I'm going to have to watch this multiple times to fully understand. Thank you so much for this, and all the great videos on this channel! :)
What a detailed 3D print. As usual, a great thorough explanation!
i enjoy these simple explanations
its the very basic first and gets more complicated and detail afterwards
even tho english isnt my first language, i understand most of these newer videos, thank you very much :)
keep on doing these awesome vids
I feel like I've been waiting for this one video for years! Thank you Jason! That 3d printed model should be mass produced for learning!
Probably your best video ever. Suberp explanation, very easy to understand. Thank you!
At first I was worried this was just going to be another video of how 4-stroke engines work, but I was pleasantly surprised. Great video!
That model is amazing, very well made and I love the little touch with the magnets
Thank you for such a detailed video. Always wondered why my car had such a confusing firing order. That complete model works great for explaing the engineering. Great work
Your videos are amazing and I have watched more than 150 videos from your channel.
Nice video thank you sir.
That's dedication, thank you for watching so many, glad you've enjoyed the channel! :)
I love that you will occasionally do "basics" videos. All the youngsters, coming up, can benefit from this. See if you can find a '3D printed' clutch and gearbox. That would make a pretty good educational video.
Ok -- that is seriously one of the coolest 3D-printed models I've ever seen. Such *detail* in it!
Superb. I never get tired of the genious of a V8.
The best exemplification (exhibition of the mechanical structure) of a V-8 engine I ever saw. 5-star demonstration.
You have the best vehicle channels on RUclips I’ve learned so much from you. Keep up the good work you’ll always have my support brother.
Thank you. You always make things easy to understand, not like the "backyard mechanics' around here.
I have never realized how complicated and ingenious a car engine could be. Amazing video!
These videos are so helpful. Thanks for making them and not putting out bullshit clickbait or vlogs.
That's a sweet 3D model. Thanks for sharing man. I always learn something new from your videos. Much appreciated!
THank you for making these videos so visual- It's hell to try and read this information alone.
Wow this video is amazing and simple to understand. I learned more about the operation of an engine in this short video than the entire school year I had auto mechanics in high school 😂. Thanks
This was Awesome! I am about to buy my first Muscle Car at 48 years old and learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to illustrate.
This model is SO good!
Thanks for the video mate, with the 3D Print model it is far more easier to understand how a V8 works now :P
Another excellent video. Thank you for the understandable explanation of an extremely complicated subject. Keep up the great work. I enjoy your videos very much.
Dude you explained this so well, even my girlfriend next to me say she gets it.
Keep up the good work 👍🏿
The best explained video I've ever seen on RUclips thanks Jason
Fantastic, straightforward explanation, and i really liked the 3D printed engine.
Great content from a great channel.
Thanks for the in-depth video, really helpful for someone getting into working on cars.
I find the LS and Gen 1s to be very simple and a great platform to learn off of. Thanks for the vid.
Fabulous video, thank you! Clear, no-BS information like this is what makes the internet great.
I'm gonna have to watch this about 50 more times. Great vid
Love the videos appropriate length and fitting thumbnail! I hope to see V6 and 4 cylinder turbo additions to this series
your videos are amazing man, you are a great teacher. thank you for putting your videos out there and helping car enthusiast like myself.
Never heard of a cross or flat-plane crank before this and it solved a lot of my confusion. Great video I really appreciate it.
this video is amazing, super clear how this stuff works!
Only today I learnt this technique
Thanks for posting
Those white background thumbnails you have been using lately are looking nice! I have definitely been seeing success with that style for a while. They really pop in search results that also happen to have white backgrounds.
Sweet! Was starting to think you didn't have love for our rumbling V8's, but I guess it was just a matter of time before you made the video, thanks Jason, it did help me understand especially the part about cross and flat plane. Cheers! 🤘
Saw the thumbnail and title and I was like,”Really? Another video explaining a basic engine?” And I watched it and ended up learning some things didn’t know 😳😳 Bravo monsieur
Amazingly well explained, super clear!
I love these videos. You do good work, as does the printed engine maker.
Seeing the pistons work is so satisfying 🤤
That was an excellent way of explaining things. Your stepping up your game man!
This is an amazing video! Very well put together!
Another great vid/explanation Jason!
The most fully dedicated 3D print artwork ❤
Very cool video ...
Simple, direct ..
thanks a lot for the class ...
Magnificent clear and very visual explanation that is very easy to understand. Thank you.
Searched for a flat plane vs a crossplane crackshaft video. found a yours from 2014. Still awesome content!
ok this model is the sickest thing ever! I want one for my collection shelf!!
I just want to say that your videos are very informational and extremely helpful.
Love to hear it, thanks!!
thanks man i learned a lot during this video.I wasn't familiar with the LS's thanks to you.Keep up with the good work!
i recommend watching EE's video on flatplane vs crossplane as well, really good video Jason
Thanks! Here's the link for anyone interested: ruclips.net/video/_TssXF8yQek/видео.html
I was just about to ask that, thanks!
i was just to ask about the link, bless your soul
Very informative, I already knew about the "Otto Cycle" (the thermodynamic cycle that explains the functioning of all four cycle engines.) but I always thought that the V configuration was so complicated.
That 3D printed model is awesome.
Nice video
Nice video, always happy to see something about the LS
Dude, this was an awesome explanation. Thank you!
Wow! This 3D printed engine is a really nice work!
Nice video, I appreciate videos like this, it gives me a chance to NOT be a total ignorant about engines. (In particular V8 engines)
Amazing 3D print!
Really want the flat plane version now, although I'm sure I could just read up on it again. Great video.
Lot of time and effort in this. Thank you for making this interesting educational video 👏🏻👏🏻 and easy to understand narrative.
Really nice video as always, even cooler with the 3D printed engine!
Nice little LS engine you got there!💪
Gotta love my muscle cars and V8
Hey Jason, can you make a video about engine knock and how it is prevented? I'm thinking about the effect of different types of engine/intake air cooling, higher octane fuel, compression ratio, etc. This is more or less mentioned in a lot of video's but I couldn't find one that packs it all together. Loving your video's!
I've always enjoyed your channel Keep up the hard work I love your videos
Excellent job explaining! Even I learned something! Nice 3D printed engine! Great video for a youngster or someone that doesn't have a clue as to how a typical car engine works. I found the reason for the compression leak...One head was a bit loose! LOL.
Thank you so much for your description about V8 engine
I am actually more hyped that someone actually created an open-source 3D-printable file for an LS3, now if only someone I know has a 3D Printer
What an amazing effort for this video
Great simple explanation! Any chance you could do a similar one on an H6 engine?
This helped me understand how counterbalances work. Thank you.
Nice presentation. Keep it up.
Jason, I love your electric car videos, and I'd love to see you explain the difference between the AC induction motor in a Tesla Model S/X and the switched reluctance motor in the Model 3. As I understand it, switched reluctance isn't a standard permanent magnet motor as we think of it (like in an electric drill, for example), but some sort of hybrid between induction and permanent.
Awesome explanation! Thank you
Saw this in my recommended thought why not
Good vid very informative
my life has changed for ever, thank you
Best video on an engine hands down
This is awsome, the 3d model is so cool
Thats a really cool 3d printed model, magnets to hold parts on and all , cool
Awesome bro, as always! Much love
I'm a simple man, I hear LS3, I hit like.
I love all your videos bro.. I feel we are kindred spirits.. I loved the interview with Car Throttle a long time back!
Thanks!!
