I am thinking it could be more compact, because I want to make a v8, and that wouldn’t really go well with a big, bulky design, and the pistons could be bigger.

<p>I can’t figure out how to make a Lego V8 engine without using the Lego-made parts. I don’t want to buy any parts, so I need alternatives. Any ideas?</p>

Do you mean the typical technic pseudo-engine? I.e. the technic parts where pistons connected to a rotating crankshaft move up and down?

Yes, I do. I don’t have the dedicated Lego pieces for the purpose of the engine.
