Nifeliz V8 Engine Building Set, Exclusive Advanced Collector's Engine Model, Physical Science Experiment Toy for Adults, Home or Office Décor (2725 PCS, NF10287)

This NifeliZ V8 Engine is one of the most fun and complicated builds I've done. I've built lots of trains, cars, buildings and Star Wars sets. This ranks up there with the best of them. I can't wait to use it to explain V8 Engines to my grandsons. Cranking it makes the pistons go up and down as well as the valves opening and closing. It's a very well engineered piece. It's also a very difficult build but the instructions are fantastic. You'll have a real sense of accomplishment when it's complete. Unlike most of my builds I only found one thing that didn't fit just right. The top cover didn't set just right so I made a minor correction - I reversed the blue pins in step 192 and in step 371, now the top sets squarely on the red and blue pins. (see pictures 1 & 2). One other thing I changed was the gray piece used in steps 608 thru 611. Ascetically I felt the pieces should be all black. (see picture 3) Hope this is helpful - enjoy your build.NifeliZ V8 Engine - NF 10287 followup:I bought this kit a few weeks ago and have had a fun time building and then tweaking it to make it my own version. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this kit, I just can’t stop myself from modifying things after I’ve built them. It’s just more fun. So what I want to share is some of the functional and cosmetic modification I made to my NifeliZ V8.I have already showed 2 things in my initial review. Here are a few more:1) The top has a back cover that is only held on in three places. Sometimes when I would accidentally pull too hard it would slip off. So I added an additional attach point that makes it a little sturdier. See Picture (1 Engine Cover)2) The Frame structure for the gears on the front of the engine seemed like it needed a little extra support so I looked for a way to add support as well as improve cosmetics. I decided modifying pipes and locations of what I think are the fuel filters would improve the structure. One mod was very easy - I just had to remove a small yellow disc. The left side required a complete redo. It was worth it now the frame is secured to the heads on both sides and the filters are in better alignment. See Picture (2 Fuel Filters)3) The next few things I did are strictly cosmetic to satisfy my need for balance. There are a lot of pieces that stick out and look like they should connect to something. See Pictures (3 Engine Front 1 and 4 Engine Front 2). I decided to cap them off so they would look more finished to me. There was also an elbow that looked like it should go somewhere so I added a section that looks like a pipe. See Pictures (5 Cover Off 1 and 6 Cover Off 2)4) I add a couple of cosmetic pieces to the rear of the engine also. See Picture (7 Engine Rear)Let me emphasize there is nothing wrong with this engine. I just love kits where I can have fun making simple changes that makes it seem better to me and gives me my own unique version. Find your own little tweaks and enjoy the fun.

Super fun build! Clear instructions (except for one small mistake) and I think great quality. Parts all fit together great. This will get a special place in my office!

This V8 model engine was both complex and rewarding to build. It showed excellent engineering and attention to detail that resulted in an engine that reflected a realistic operation of an internal combustion engine. The building instructions were detailed and quite clear to follow. The parts were well made and none were missing. The hand crank worked to move the pistons within the cyclinders and to rotate the camshaft that allowed the intake and exhaust valves to open and close. I highly recommend this model over such brands as MouldKing whose engineering leaves much to be desired.

This is my first of this brand.Owned and built dozens of Lego - Technic since 96.At the price point, it's a good deal. Snap together well and the quality seems to be comparable. Manual is comprehensive. Would have been 5 stars except there's only one instruction set. Lego usually provides multiple optional builds.

Please note that I bought this kit. I've built 4 or 5 Nifeliz kits and wrote negative reviews and stopped buying their kits. This one intrigued me so I bought it anyway. What a difference from previous kits! The manual had fewer instructions per page, very clear pictures and the book stayed together. The pieces fit way better and is the equal of that Danish company. The finished project is gorgeous and works very well. If the chains seem flimsy as others have written, check them closely as the most likely problem is one of the pins on a link is not seated correctly into the next link.I'm very impressed with the great increase in quality of this kit over previous ones from this company.

Outstanding kit quality. No missing parts, very good instructions. Nice packaging and little cardboard organizing trays. Large detailed model when done. Brick quality and fit is excellent. 100% satisfied with this kit.

All the pieces were with it. Very challenging for my 8 year old. He needed a little help but overall it taught him patience and effort

This is not a build for amateurs.Good news: Excellent instructions, quality parts. The parts are in numbered bags and well sorted.Bad news: There were a number of missing parts. Customer support is non-existent. I went to the Nifeliz website and was unable to locate a contact phone number. The only way I was able to finish the project was to contact Amazon. They could not find a number either. They were excellent in service however. They sent me a second kit and told me to use whatever parts I needed and then return the unused items.If you can deal with the hassle then I would recommend purchasing.
