I5 Inline Engine Model | Functional Pistons, Valves & Timing Chain

This project is a fully functional I5 engine model designed for 3D printing. It features:

  • Moving crankshaft, pistons, timing chain, and two valves per cylinder, standard firing order: 1‑2‑4‑5‑3,

🔩 Assembly Details

The model is assembled using:

  • Crankshaft and camshafts: 4x bearings 608 (you can print it from included files),

  • Oil pan: 8 × M4 × 25 mm + nuts,

  • Cylinder head: 4 × M4 × 25 mm + nuts,

🔩 Printing tips

  • Camshafts: print split along the axis and glue after printing,

  • Crankshaft: print vertically with supports,

  • Springs: print with supports,

  • Valves: print horizontally with supports (vertical printing likely to fail),

  • Timing chain: print with 0.16 mm layer height,

  • Fully printable timing chain,

Update 29.11.2025

A new timing kit has been added. It features smaller gears, and the new timing chain is significantly stronger.
