Teching DM13-L4-T Metal Inline 4-Cylinder Engine Model Kit – Luxury Gold/Red DIY STEM Gift
Hero Section: A Tribute to the Legend of 1913
In 1913, Jules Goux conquered the Indianapolis 500, powered by a revolutionary engine designed by Ernest Henry. That engine introduced the world to the Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) and four-valve architecture—standards that still define racing today. The Teching DM13-L4-T is not just a model; it is a salute to that pivotal moment in automotive history. Finished in a stunning Luxury Gold and Red anodized scheme, this all-metal assembly kit invites you to reconstruct the mechanical heart of a champion. It is where industrial history meets modern precision craftsmanship.
Why Choose the Teching DM13-L4-T?
- Luxury Collector’s Edition: Unlike standard silver models, this edition features a premium "Luxury Gold + Red" anodized finish. The vibrant colors highlight the moving parts against the engine block, making it a striking centerpiece for any executive desk or display cabinet.
- 364+ Parts of Precision: This is a true engineering challenge. With over 364 CNC-machined aluminum and stainless steel components, the assembly process mimics a professional production line. It’s a 4-hour journey of focus, logic, and mechanical discovery.
- Visible Mechanical Logic: The open-skeleton design allows you to witness the internal combustion theory in action. Watch the timing chain drive the overhead cams, the valves open and close, and the pistons cycle in perfect rhythm—all powered by a clean electric motor.
- The Ultimate STEM Experience: This kit bridges the gap between a textbook and reality. It intuitively demonstrates the core principles of machine operation, making it an invaluable gift for engineering students, mechanics, or anyone fascinated by how things work.
Technical Highlights: Industrial Artistry
- Electric Drive Simulation: Powered by a rechargeable 500mAh lithium battery, the engine runs smoothly and quietly for over 30 minutes. It simulates the operation of a real engine without the noise, fumes, or fuel of a gas model.
- CNC Precision Casting: Every part is crafted with tolerances measured in microns. The aluminum alloy is treated with anodic oxidation, ensuring the surface is wear-resistant, corrosion-proof, and cool to the touch.
- Expandable Design: The structure is designed with modification in mind. For the creative maker, the engine can be upgraded or combined with other DIY kits to create complex power systems.

Usage Scenario: Building a Legacy
Clear the dining table on a Sunday afternoon. Open the high-end metal gift box and lay out the precision tools. Whether you are building this alone to enter a state of "flow" or working alongside a teenager to pass down mechanical knowledge, the experience is rewarding. As you tighten the final bolt and press the start switch, the engine hums to life—a testament to your patience and skill.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Organize Your Workspace: With 364 parts, losing a screw is easy. We recommend using a magnetic tray to keep small components secure during the build.
- Lubrication is Essential: To ensure the metal parts move smoothly and to reduce wear, apply a small amount of light machine oil (not included) to the crankshaft journals and camshafts during assembly.
- Follow the Logic: If a part feels tight or misaligned, do not force it. The CNC parts are designed to fit perfectly. Re-read the manual; often, it’s a simple orientation issue.
- Battery Care: Charge the battery fully (2 hours) before the first run to ensure the motor has maximum torque to drive the fresh, tight mechanism.
