Spend enough time around gearheads, and you’re bound to see at least one interesting engine that’s been repurposed into a coffee table. After all, if there are two great tastes that go great together, they are absolutely wrenching and coffee. It’s cool to see, sure—but what if you have a specific engine in mind that you want to have the joy of turning into a coffee table for yourself?
In the case of YouTuber Chaos Causes, he decided that he really wanted to try his hand at turning a V4 motorcycle engine into a coffee table. When he was brainstorming this idea, he didn’t have a specific V4 in mind—he just knew that configuration was what he wanted. Since he wasn’t sure that he’d be able to find one within his budget, he also decided in advance that if his original plan didn’t work out, he’d settle for an inline four as a second choice.
