Features:
.Introduction: The L4-172 is a miniature inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine model newly released by the HOWIN team, which demonstrates a strong engine manufacturing spirit. It is based on early real car engines that are widely used and designed with perfect style and appearance, recreating the elegance of full-size cars in scale models. Delivers a sense of realism from inline four cylinders to camshafts and rocker arms, every effort has been made even the scale&appearance of the engine to maintain a high-level performance that can provide extraordinary power to RC cars/ship models. .Mainly decorated in silver and black for a high-end atmosphere, the L4 engine with an overall compact structure represents a collision of retro classics and modern machinery. .Adopts SOHC valve mechanism, alloy rocker arms, independent intake/exhaust design and increasingly accurate valve opening/closing. .Built with adjustable valve and single carburetor for easy adjustment and more sensitive throttle response. .The intake pipe and exhaust pipe printed by integrated metal stainless steel make the engine sounds deep and powerful like a racing car. .The integrated & reinforced crankshaft with five points to fully support ensures that the crankshaft boasts sufficient strength and is not easy to deform under high-speed operation. .Utilizes the external centrifugal water pump and the cooling mode of direct contact between the outer wall of wet cylinder liner and coolant for heat dissipation with water drainage to prolong the working time and span life. .Features smooth idle running and a high speed up to 15000rpm like a little violent beast, due to the 480 brush motor and convenient electrical starting. .All parts of the model are made of carefully selected material, among which the piston ring is made of nodular cast iron, and the cylinder block & crankcase of the cylinder head are processed by aluminum alloy CNC, as well as colored through anodic oxidation after sandblasting. .To maintain the steady output of the inline four-cylinder engine, the rocker arms, camshaft and crankshaft are precision machined for minimal tolerances. .With its true-to-life scale, reliable start and steady power, the high-performance engine will meet the expectations of many model aficionados, providing an impressive&authentic model for nostalgic enthusiasts and collectors. .Instructions: 1. Includes 1 x Engine, 4 x Glow Plugs, 1 x Ignition, 4 x M4 Screws for Assembly & Fixed, 1 x Instructions, 1 x Optional Engine Base. You need to prepare or purchase the fuel tank, fuel lines, water cooling kits (radiator and water tank) and batteries. 2. Requirement for Fuel Oil: 20-25% Nitro Finished Fuel Oil. Later you can buy the gasoline modification kit to upgrade to use the gasoline fuel. 3. Warranty & Aftersales: One-year limited warranty.

I expected this engine to be fun but I was disappointed
This engine is well built and has a lovely finish. I expected it to be fun to change the flywheel to see what effect it has on the engine speed and also fun
to see the small "generator" light up the bulb. Unfortunately the engine did not arrive with the extra flywheel nor was an allen key included, so the flywheel could not be changed. Also the bulb did not light up. When running this engine can only produce about 2.5V, so the 5V bulb is never going to work. A nice example of an alpha type sterling engine, but I cannot rate it more than 3 stars because of the missing items
The engine received was not the one shown on the website
This engine runs fantastic, the problem is that the engine they sent does NOT match the item in the picture. I specifically wanted a thermoacoustic stirling engine with an "extended" hot tube. What they sent was the standard "short" hot tube variety. I already have 3 engines of this style, if I wanted another I could have purchased the one from this site for $23.99 or $19.99. Instead, I paid $29.99. This engine comes with bearings in the flywheel mount so it runs exceptionally fast. It is a great engine overall, but unfortunately not the engine in the sales pictures. Based of performance this engine is "5 star", however Sterlingkit should never substitute engines without customer authorization first
Well I have built this little engine was fun to build took me from 11pm to round 7 am the next morning as I was taking my time going to put it on a stand then start it up just waiting for the stand/base for it
A nicely packed kit love how the box is wood and everything is packed in black foam trays instructions are online but the contents are in plastic box’s. Like screw’s nuts and everything else needed to build it
I sent you an email describing my research and asking to speak with your engineers about reversing the rotation. I have had no response. I am a retired electrical engineer researching chirality and Tesla's concepts on Aether and gravity.
