Running an engine with no bearings, worried about having an old oil filter. Got it.
Yeah i was thinking the same lol.
That part made me chuckle when I was working on this one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oil pressure is important, if they had planned to run it long having a totally blocked up oil filter would have just caused the engine to heat seize rather than smash a rod like it did
Man. The disclaimers want to make me want to try it even more.
i love how the translator guy does a slightly higher pitched voice when someone else is talking lmao
Sounds like a chica. Haha
If you haven't seen the one where they turn a car into a sauna and drive around, you need to.

107 % success!
Engine going from ~4000 RPM to full stop in an instant, that's what I call 107% engine carnage :-)
113% percent success rate!
@@mikeznel6048
Impossible.
107 % is the max😅
@@erikdikkers7931 They just round it up. Actually it is 106.9999999999 percent. 107 is just a theoretical max but current science cannot quite get there yet.
Recycle time..
Nyet doubt. Sorry I do not know how to say doubt in Russian 😐.
Mr. Piston why you down here in the crankcase?? Too much Vodka 😂😂😂😂😂
I literally just finished putting al my pistons together and havent got bearings yet, then i seen this recently come out😂
Tell the truth!, you were thinking about putting it together without the bearings weren't ya?, lol
this video clearly shows evidence the bearings are optional.
Just please for the love of god hope that no one thinks that this is something they should try.
@@jerryb1234 it crossed my mind (;
Gotta love this channel always keeps ya coming back
Who else was paying more attention to the cybertruck in the background
cool! i remember when i was younger i had a 1983 chevy cavalier with a 2.0L engine. it blew up so bad at only 40mph that it sent a rod through the engine block and it was the size to fit 2 closed fists inside! it was that much of a bang! ahhh..yes..memories of a teenager who didn't care..lol!
I DRIVE A 1986 CAVALIER WITH THE 2.0L ENGINE. I HAVE HAD IT 20 YEARS NOW GREAT CAR. I PUT NEW BEARINGS AND CRANK IN IT IN 2003 AFTER DRIVING A YEAR WITH A ROD KNOCK. IT NEVER BLEW.
@@MrHeavychevy86 Lucky man! LOL!
I'm in the UK I've got a vauxhall cavalier gsi turbo
@@thomasmcdougall8059 that'd be a sweet ride. my family is from the UK (Scotland), but i've never seen one since it's been ages since i've been across the pond.
Try and run an engine with like two pistons removed so that is basically becomes an inline 2
Theese German guys already did it: ua-cam.com/video/5A36Xwj9SEU/v-deo.html
John Deere already beat ya to that idea
Lol
@@Nasahatapimapetilan It's always the Germans huh?

I would love to see you guys try gasoline as coolant in a couple different engine types. Excellent as always 👍🇨🇦
hmmm....
If it has a bad head gasket, what would happen, would it just run rich, or would the fuel in the coolant get ignited?
@@LatvianVideo ummm it would burn like normal
My guess is that the gasoline inside the cooling system would not ignite (given the lack of air).
@HELLFISH some cooling systems are sealed under pressure, including the reservoir. I wonder how much pressure could build up?
I haven't seen the Cybertruck since it was some lengths of inch stock!
I lost a piston rod bearing on one cylinder three weeks ago. But decided to drive the 20 kilometers back home anyway. The engine lost a bit of power and sounded like a bag of bolts. But I avoided high revs and actually made it all the way home.
@biryanikebab Yes, and the rod was bent too. When I got home, I took the oil pan off just to have a quick look. What was left of the bearing was at the bottom of the pan. I didn't undo the bolts on the rod to check the shaft surface, but it must have been damaged. I knew what was wrong when it happened, just from the sound. The car is in the junkyard now.
Smart. Rather than a $200 tow, completely destroy the entire engine.
@@markgunther2502 That car was maybe worth $1000 before the bearing broke. Towing in Sweden is close to $400. And I would still have to spend about a grand on the renovation. As soon as the bearing gave up, the rod and the crank was worthless too. So I would have to spend roughly $1400 and a lot of work to get a $1000 car. Nope, not me. I scrapped it and got $500.
@@GAIS414 Your numbers are way off. I spun a bearing and replaced all the rod and main bearings with the engine in the car for a total cost of about $60 including a new oil pan gasket. The crank was lightly scored but easily can be sanded down in the car as well.
@@markgunther2502 Hahaha! I can tell you don't live in Sweden. And sanding down the crank because of some discoloration? Really?
Anyway, the bearing didn't spin, it disintegrated! There was no bearing what so ever between the rod and the crank. But I bet you would spend the money to get that car back to it's former craptacular glory. Believe me, the car wasn't worth keeping. Even before the bearing decided to become one with the engine oil.
I had an idea for you guys to try, how about fixing an engines flywheel to a stand and starting the engine so the whole engine rotates. I think it would need to be a diesel engine
WHAT LOL
The French built a plane like that, where the crank was attached to the fuselage, and the block was attached to the propeller. I believe that was done to make sure it got plenty of air since it was air cooled :p IIRC, it was a 2-smoker, and they said it turned one way really good, but not the other way.
@@Iowa599 I believe that was the WW 1 Sopwith Camel with a radial engine. The rotating inertia meant it could roll one way easier that the other.
@@Iowa599 The gnome rotary, imagine the whole engine working as a gyroscope, in a PLANE!
Not an easy engine to start apparently.

You guys have a great imagination keep them coming
Suggestions*
Those main bearings were once made of leather. My grandfather told me he always carried a rolled up sheet of leather in his Model T and would change bearings on long trips...that and he carried tire irons to remove tires and patch them.
Let’s not forget MG gaskets made of cork :-)
I saw a story about a guy that was towing his Jeep with his Rv . He had left it in compound low. They said by the time he hit 60 mph it was turning over 50,000 rpms !!! . That would be something to see
I saw a story yesterday where someone was towing a modern Mini Cooper behind an RV and left it in first gear, it blew holes all over the block and gearbox......goodnight Vienna 🤣
The engine and trans literally blew up on that jeep... it didn't just send a rod through the block, the crank came apart and fragmented everything. Pretty crazy.
Worst I've seen in person is a cummins diesel with 500 miles on it. One of the wrist pins came loose and blew the block completely in half. The only thing holding it together was the head.
Someone mentioned that flat-towed Jeep Wrangler in a comment some months ago. The G54 guys should definitely try replicating that specific scenario :-)
@@wayshot Oh yes I'd be up for watching that video, especially if they had cameras hooked up in the engine bay to watch it let go.
@@graemew7001 They could use their Hummer to tow a Lada in 1st gear, or maybe use their wheel-spinning machine to spin some small engine beyond 10k RPM.
I'd like to see a "lada?" motor converted to a 2 cylinder 2 stroke. Use 2 cylinders like compressors to pull air and fuel mix into and then push it into the intake port (On the side) and have a lower exhaust port on the opposite side. I think it could be pretty awesome. No fuel mix required. Water cooled. Sump and pan lubricated. I figure you would have HP gains if the compression and displacement is 50% or more of the original. You could dump the cam shaft and practically make your own head with a flat plate steel and air compressor one way valves; drill for plugs and to make it simple use small engine coils. A bit of welding and there you go. I would like to say if this ever happens I would love to see a dynamo reading before and after. even if there is a loss.
That is an awesome idea
Any normal person : "Gonna take care of that engine"
Garage54: "We did it, it seized !"
I love how they are deadpanning the comedy here. " so much oil" and "the gasket is torn for some reason" or "its just a loose bolt" . Im dying
4:12 You can see the dip-stick spin a bit before the catastrophic failure. Something hit it lol
Good old Lada durability, these cars are virtually indestructible❤️
Note to self , "do not drive engine with bearings removed"
Its page 4 of every owners manual by federal law XP
I hydro-locked a Volvo 340 engine going through a flood. I didn't realise the air intake was just above the spoiler! I flushed the engine with new oil and fired it up, it did sound a little rough but took it out for a run anyway..... A rod let go as I shifted into second, took out both sides of the block and punched holes in the sump..... left a trail of Oil and bits of metal down the road, but still ran on 3 cylinders enough to get it home. :-)
Great video. Those little engines are so strong.
Very educational. Now I learned something very significant. It has to do with the air cooled four cylinder engine in VW type I and II 1971. Those engines had a problem with dropping a valve into number 3 cylinder or spinning number 3 rod bearing. Now I see what would go wrong if one were to continue to drive with the rod knock. Thank you.
This was an awesome experiment , the carnage was a lot more than I expected. Perhaps another fun experiment could be with the main bearings. Keep the front and rear bearings in place and remove the center two bearings. plug the oil feed for the missing bearings and see how much stress the crankshaft can take.
Dont try this with your lawnmower engine powered Insight. PS , waiting for your vids.
@@stoneheart9679 We are posing an update video in less than 24 hrs.. stay tuned!
I'd be curious to see how pouring some babbit bearings would work.
How long would lead bearings last? (Not long obv but still curious.)
@@billbergen9169 They used them for years in steam engines.
@@billbergen9169 Probably forever if you did it right. I bet they wont take much power, but in a craptastic Lada, you'd probably never know the difference.
@@tippyc2 but wouldn't the engine need to be balanced?
@@billbergen9169 If it was balanced without the bearings, any imbalance you add with bearing material is probably negligible, especially at
8:41 also a little bit english I am proud of you you are doing a great job
u got some beautiful cars in ur garage and love the mad stuff u do on your channel ❤ keep up the good work lads 👊
My father owned a 1940's car that had destroyed the main bearings. He could drive it up to about 40 mph before he would hear the crankshaft bouncing in what was left of the bearings. He eventually sold or gave it to someone who drove it until it couldn't go over 20 mph, then parked it, and probably scrapped it. ;)
Garage54: I love old Ladas, so well built. (Proceeds to destroy every single one in existence)
They just make them better
I am glad you are doing well friend. This video is amazing!!
Before you start this engine, let me just say that the sound that engine is going to emit is going to hurt my heart. Mechanical sympathy I suppose...
Ptsd
"Drunk and penniless?"
"Nope, piston broke!"
:P
You guys blew this one out of the water! AWESOME
man how happy he gets when the engine siezes 🤣🤣
Believe it or not..all these crazy experiments with the engines actually makes him a really good engine tech.
Same experiment but fill the sump to the top with axel grease!
Main bearings seized up, because connecting rod journals "leaked" oil pressure. Oil lights sensor could turn light off like something 0.2bar which isnt enough to bearings
back in Australia's pioneering days the outback people have to use bamboo and other kinds of wood as bearings to get them to help. The old land rovers i believe ran ok on someone's leather belt cut in strips.
That Lada is now a Nada. You boys did good on this one!
I’m going to try this on my engine now, due to complete boredom.
My very first car wayback in the mists of time was a '72 Hillman Avenger...paid £100 for it and I drove it from London to the top of Scotland and back down to the tip of Cornwall and everywhere between. I was heading to Liverpool from London when in the last few miles of the motorway unbeknown to me I sprung an oil leak and the first thing I knew about it was the oil light popping on just before the engine exploded... so ended my Hillman Avenger but managed to coast the last few meters to park off the motorway.
You guys should hook up four brake masters directly to each corner of the car's brakes and operate them with a lever mounted to a ball at the bottom, simulating a joystick. Space the masters (or even use clutch masters, no need for a tandem piston setup) out in an X arrangement. Use the brakes to steer. Hook up the throttle to the steering wheel. Organize a race with your crewmen.
I once saw a mechanic friend rebuilding a DKW engine and he was lining the big end bearings with cork strips. He said this was his racing engine.
Run an engine with the heaviest motor oil. Better still, fill crankcase with STP Oil Treatment or Motor Honey any thick engine additive.
Good idear.
Those are all around 50 weight. Need to use 70 weight engine oil
Cool vid and to the point. I dig it. Thanks.
Perfect way to destroy an engine. You guys are crazy 😂 and I like it!
I love his genuine surprise when it first blew up. 🤣
Legit though that merch looks *sick.*
ikr i seriously considering buying some but shipping things to my country is so fucking complicated
got something id love to see but dont know where to post! Create a high lift cam using metal cable ties on the cam lobes see if it makes a
difference in performance !
Try bearings made from JB Weld.
How to make a gasoline engine sound like a diesel with over-advanced injection timing.
4:29 he speaks english he said the heck good job vlad 👌🏻👍🏻
Okay thank you
the skirt crack from the vibrations. i tried it too. im sure the last piston also got cracked skirts. try using a tracer liquid that penetrate into cracks or make a thin mixture of thinner and paint .
if im right you wear a beer helmet in a episode XD
2:17 "That is a Lada play"
As an engine builder I have to say this kind of video.....is hilarious lol
Oh I know that he use to be piston that was funny . Love this channel you guys are crazy with your experiments but that's what makes this show awesome to watch
At 4:20 (nice) if you watch the dipstick you can see the exact moment it caught the impact.
lol that poor motor was Rappin like 50-Cent xD ! ! LMFAO
8:52 racing piston 🏁
LoL.
Vlad and team never fail to entertain!
Finally back!
A guy I know drove a Buick with rod knock around for years, and he beat the crap out of it, and somehow it never died as long as he had it, which was a couple years with a 50 mile a day commute.
Love the cyber truck ☺️
Compression test before and after...running with two tubes of valve grinding compound mixed with oil! :-D
Make solid steel con rods. Lighten with holes and relief milling. She. Stock con rod bearings
The second spark plug from the left moved just before it seized lol
Can we see you try sandpaper as the bearing next time, love the content boys
a spun bearing was the first death of my V6 Charger, didn't know what it was and drove it home from high school, it made it home, but by then it was too late, 2nd death it lost all compression at 4k not even 20,000 miles after the rebuild, as of a year ago it was scrapped, I wasn't about to throw another 5k into it, but it's interesting to see what an engine with no bearings would do
I suggest, if it hasn't been done, for a next video to take a lada, test the speed, and remove one piston, one piston rod and set that valves so they stay close, so you have a 3 cylinder lada to test. And than a 2, and then a one....
Super cool engine temps by using dry on the radiator
He got teslva with lada engine love your videos
Hey their fellas,
How about making your own high lift cam shaft. I mean very high lift!! Take you old cam shaft, weld more metal on each lobe then machine very high lift lobes.
YES
Ya should've taken it for a quick ride, before ya revved it to the moon, it probably would've lasted awhile, great video, thanks for sharing.
The only guys crazy enough to intentionally invite Uncle Rodney over.
This channel makes me want to import a Lada to the US.
I'm sure that 15w-50 helped delay the inevitable destruction. Should have just filled it with straight Lucas to fill up the massive clearances.
Bro that oil pan bolt got RAILED in lol
You should have tried pouring your own bearings with something like solder or even proper Babbitt material but pouring them in place the old-school way very old-school melting aluminum and trying that might have been interesting also
I'm shocked how fast you got that reaction
you guys are NUTS ... LOVE IT :)
Well. Saw that one coming.
if u weld the rodcap making it a permanen onepice might handle the presure
I dont know why, but I laughed so hard when it came suddenly to a stop 😂
Loving that ska background music :D
Yeah!
The last time my pistons got twisted I bought piston return springs and they all straightened back out by the next oil change.
Would be interesting to see what engine bearings made of pistons perform like ;)
Do this test while driving down a drag strip. That would be interesting to see.
Is nobody gonna acknowledge the cybertruck
I'd suggest welding shut all the oil ports on the crankshaft so the rest of the engine still get oil pressure
Ball bearings down the spark plug wells wasn't enough, now it's out to see what a different kind of engine failure does. Ought to be something to see.
try Copper wire wrapped around crank instead of the bearing
that damage was massive :D
You knew this was going to be a short video even before seeing the length of the video.
was hoping for sandpaper bearings!
let's take a moment to appreciate the Supra in the background
You should install pistons from underneath the crankshaft
Apparently there’s a virtually endless supply of old Lada engines lying around where they are
Good one lads well done.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺
