You know, there is so much to be said about simple mechanical cars. I wish we had basic simple transportation here in America. Tons of garbage that is overcomplicated and guick to fail.
It's incredible how much abuse and neglect an old engine can withstand and still get back into a running/driving state. How long it'll last? who cares. It runs. Not something that can be said about most newer vehicles put under the same abuse.
At the same time, there are/were some REALLY nice reliable engines from the last 20 years. I would like to see some simpler designs for economy cars. Lower priced and easy to maintain would be a welcomed car.
Some of the most reliable engines in history have been made in the last 20-30 years. For example the Volkswagen 1.9 TDI. Indestructible engine, goes 400000km with regular oil and timing belt changes. 2000€ of repairs after that and it's good for another 400000km. The bigger problem of modern cars is that everything else is trash. The Volkswagens I mentioned are usually trash after 300000km, the engine outlives the interior.
DAMMIT 🤣 I scrolled the comments and didn't see this mentioned... So I said the same. However, _THE VERY NEXT COMMENT_ just offscreen, was yours. 😮💨🤦♂️😅
Ah. Zinc parts. That explains everything! In marine vessels, they bolt chunks of zinc to the outside of the hull, to act as a "sacrificial anode" and inhibit the *_steel_* from rusting. So that's why it didn't rust super bad, and why all the zinc parts straight fell apart with minimal effort!
Yes, but for electrolysis you need electricity, for the boat that electricity comes from friction or the boat is moving or the water, and here everything is stationary, even the battery was removed from the car
@predragperic7742 electrolytes in the water create electricity and by definition create electrolysis the metal and water molecules have a differing charge I have a PhD in organic chemistry and a masters in physics
Imagine scaling a lada engine up. You'd have to make molds but like times two in size would be a big thing and then try and start it. You guys have the ability to do that, no dramas there 😅
Well, after sitting for a year without the engine being periodically started, probably the battery lost enough charge to not be able to deliver enough current to the start motor.
zink is used as rust prevention on ships as a sacrificial anode. it is placed all over the ship that is underwater. it corrodes first because it gives ions to the iron back therefore more or less no rust
let the car dry one week or two and it will be way more corroded because air will act to accelerate corrosion on rusted salted metal (in water there's no enough oxygen to corrode the car but in the air this car will decay within weeks)
Some Lada parts are more FIAT than others. The carb is one of them. For those confused by my comment, Ladas are FIAT based. A lot of re-designing and a lot of totally original Lada parts too but the roots are still fairly obvious.
@@ImmortanJoeCamel Indeed, but the era they are copied from in Italian form disintegrated - as did the Lancia's (remember the Beta? - engines fell out of them) - it would seem from this video that the car pretty much survived being in salty water for a year - fiats barely survived that in the dry 🤣
@@GHOOGLEMALE Exactly the chassis held way better than Ritmo! im very impressed, since i saw this video probably im gonna build a Samara soon (normal build with modern engine).
You look at the sheer amount of work they must be doing to even get this running.. this is a week of two people working solidly on it.... great tenacity.
My Father's 1962 Minivan sat in his garage for 30 years (1990 on the tax disc!). I renewed the brakes, cleaned the Carburettor out & put fresh fuel in with new fuel pump, cleaned the points and it started 1st time !! Happy days ⚠️
zinc is cording soo crazy like because its acting as a sacrificial anode. its eating rust the whole car should be accumulating. boats and other marine equipment use slabs of zinc for that very reason. prevents other components from rusting.
Look at the cam at 8:31 and then at 8:59.... That doesn't look like pressure washing folks. They probably pulled the cam and cleaned the head with sandpaper or some other abrasive material to get the largest rust away.
That reminds me of my 1983 Datsun Sentra. Rusted everywhere, parts falling off, and you could see through the floor. Driving down the highway, you had to hold the door closed. If you hit a big pothole, the trunk would open. But it ran.
That engine was largely developed by Porsche AG. What many people do not understand is that Porsche is an engineering company, and they have done contracted design work with dozens of famous companies around the world, including all three US auto makers. Walk into the cockpit of an Airbus A320 some time and say hi to the captain and first officer. The cockpit they work in was designed in the 1980's by Porsche....
When he started checking out the engine bay, I could not help but immediately visualize this entire car being dropped into the shredder.... But these guys are actually going for it anyway. LOL
the carb and fuel pump disintegrating was due to them acting as sacrificial anodes. zinc is more reactive so it gives up its electrons first instead of the iron
It did drive back to the neighbour, just not how he pictured.. You guys won the bet and the neighbour wins respect for not trying to apply rules after the fact. Class act!
The salt probably all sank to the bottom so the water as you get closer to the top had less and less salt content, thus why the water froze on you, man y'all get alot of snow. Thanks this was fun to watch.
Makes you think if some one could start a car thats been underwater for like 1 year like that one yt channel that finds underwater cars that people drive in
I work in aviation an one of our test during development of an item is salt bath testing to see what will happen in a high salt environment. So its really impressive how well that has survived.
I feel like the steel was (at least partially) saved in this instance because the aluminum, and probably some other metals acted like a sacrificial anode.
AH Lada Samara, i live in Serbia and my father owned one 1300cc. He always bragged how it was easy to fix and maintain and have to add it was very light nimble and sporty car with good fuel economy. I remember people here were joking about Samara as Russian BMW☺
3:57 Jesus, it looks like a wreck you'd find in Half Life 2's city 17! also the salt doesnt need oxygen to do damage, its in water, which has oxygen, snow is like 95% air ontop of that, impressive that it started again though lol
2:01 Not exactly. The way you guys "crafted" the salt water, would suggest Most of it settled to the bottom of the pool, thus allowing the upper bits of the water to have far less concentration of salt in it. Allowing it to freeze, ID be willing to bet if you drilled to the bottom, youll find a highly concentrated Liquid salt water pocket.

Great work. Unsticking a clutch: 1. Jack up drive wheels. 2. Put trans in top gear. 3. Start up, run at about 80km/h indicated. 4. Keep clutch pedal down. 5. Give brake pedal a good kick.
Lol "no need to abuse the car" that was being abused in the salt water. Love this channel
I love this channel tp
In salt water, for a year, outside, in Siberia...
No abuse whatsoever 😂
Yeah, also shows us how fkn disgusting russia is
More impressed with that pool,it lasted so well over the winter and all..

been a mechanic for 21 years I'm not impressed.
Ladas are ugly and slow, but they're simple to work on and fairly reliable. Just don't expect much out of them.

That's why metal boats have zinc anodes because they corrode before the steel. A similar thing has happened here with the zinc and aluminium parts.

Cars in Wisconsin live in salt for 6 months a year. It's unreal how bad it is here with salt in the winter. Great video!
11 months
Blame your governor
I can relate, I am across the lake in Michigan.
Counting my blessings for having rust protection
Yeah I live in central Europe and basically every car ends its days by rusting away.
that carburateour acted like an anode that's why the rest looked quite nice
Respect for that Engine that it really did run again !!

Remember, it's brine, not just salt. NaCl + H2O, there is plenty of oxygen available.

Zinc is a sacrificial anode it dissolves during electrolysis in the water to protect the other metal around it
Yes, but for electrolysis you need electricity, for the boat that electricity comes from friction or the boat is moving or the water, and here everything is stationary, even the battery was removed from the car
@@predragperic7742 sacrificial anodes are used in water heater tanks and no electricity is needed.

The funniest comment I can not stop laughing
make a ladda with a tesla motor and a range of 36 miles with lead acid junk batteries, put a solar panel on the roof for the small battery
This one struck me, I think this video would be 107%! 😂
i cant believe it started XD my car doesn't like to start after its sits for a year let alone in salt water!
Well, after sitting for a year without the engine being periodically started, probably the battery lost enough charge to not be able to deliver enough current to the start motor.
Old fuel wont help either
zink is used as rust prevention on ships as a sacrificial anode. it is placed all over the ship that is underwater. it corrodes first because it gives ions to the iron back therefore more or less no rust
I loved that friendly wager you dont see people doing that anymore. I would have bought them some beer too just for being cheeky with that
When they pulled it out after a year I was like " there is nooo way that`s gonna start" I`m amazed
At 7:12 you can see the indicator fluid is a bit low!
That cliffhanger is killing me!
let the car dry one week or two and it will be way more corroded because air will act to accelerate corrosion on rusted salted metal (in water there's no enough oxygen to corrode the car but in the air this car will decay within weeks)
I never expected that this engine would be able to start again. Great video and good old Lada technic

"Rebuilt flood title, it just went through a puddle everything works fine, no lowballers."
Lol. Carb and fuel pumps, being zinc attached to steel so dissimilar metals, made them act as sacrificial anodes in the salt water. 😅
Seeming it was underwater it spared the car from rust now it's out of the water it will really start to rust alot
