    Doesn't work for me. Does it actually rotate around?

    @joshuaW I added the fuselage to the end of the crankshaft by the spinning cross

    @Warhog626 are you sure?the crankshaft is made with dark technology: all the blocks are linked together by XML editing. Simply rebuilding may not be a good idea

    I attached a car to this and replaced the crankshaft with fuselage so I could make a working car :)

    @AlexWS That's floating connection: connect the block and then change their position with XML editing

    @ElijtheGeat Ha, it's on Jun 7th and 8th, I'm still preparing for it, doing those stupid exercises at day, so game mode on at night.

    I rate this a big fat 5 due to my everlasting car addiction. why couldnt you go for extremes and make the buggatti's W16 engine? (2 V8 Engines attatched to the same crankshaft

    awesome job, I tried making a sterling engine using those folding arm things to make the pistons move to turn the flywheel but failed...
