For example ford did a 1.3 petrol and they were used up until early 2000s from around the 70s. A guy we bought a car off run a scrap yard and said they would banger them in the yard after draining the oil. Theyd run then heat seize, leave to cool down and would go again. I would assume this is why this emgine can take it. I may be wrong but i cant see a modern engine handling the abuse.

    Seeing yall treat a car like a toy is both insane and amazing at the same time, I dont know how to feel lol, but I am watching it like a train wreck. Seeing James do his magic is shocking. Keep up the good work... for lack of better words lol

    New goal:
    Get so much glitter in the oil that you can do an oil change through the dipstick straw using a magnet

    I KNEW IT! I've been telling my roommates for WEEKS that the middle piston ring that distributes oil along the cylinder walls was going to be absolutely ravaging the cylinder walls now that it's full of hazelnut and every time you opened her up you stopped short of inspecting the pistons and I'm just starting the video but HAH! I'll edit this with my shame if I turn out to be wrong but I'm confident that this is exactly what I've been waiting for for weeks! What a treasure you've given us, using Nutella as lubricant you mad lad lmao
    Edit: This engine has the ring I mentioned on the bottom, not the middle, but it clearly did wear at the cylinder wall so I feel vindicated enough even if the damage wasn't as awful as I expected
