    A model of a motorcycle engine to dissect and study - where to get one?

    Hi folks,
    Could anybody suggest where it would be possible to get either a real or a "toy"/"study aid" replica of a motorcycle engine so that I could take it apart and study its parts? It does not have to be a working engine and it does not even have to be real. Something that would suit a curious amateur who wants to know parts of the engine in detail or something that would be interesting for kids without being overwhelming.
    it would be good if it were under 100 NZD.

    Cheers
    Denis

    Find a Hyosung and follow it. Won't take long and you will be able to grab a non working engine off the owner.

    I had a screen saver, that was a car engine. 4 cylinder, that assembles itself on screen, then starts up and runs. Very interesting to watch. My wife used it when she worked for a small engine firm so she could learn a bit to help deal with the customers. I hav eit on another Pc. It was a Deutz Engine screensaver I think.

    Yes I just Googled it and It appears to be available still. And there is a u-tube vid of it too.

    Cheers. But what about an actual physical model of an engine?

    Just buy a cheap engine from a wrecker, plus a few tools...
