It's a v8.

Each yellow top is a cylinder, right?

well i see only 4 pistons work the crankshaft. I believe the yello cylinders are inlet / outlet valves

RE: Air Powered v8 Engine... Made out of LEGO, 1500+rpm - McGherkin - 2011-12-11 14:08

The yellow cylinders are Lego Pneumatic Rams - the pistons. The four moving black things are valves for pairs of cylinders.
