A 13 minute video doesn’t even scratch the surface of the kind of time and trial and error these guys went through in making this engine. And even if the video was an hour, I’d be glued to it! 👍
couldn't they offset each block by the thickness of one rod and put rods from each block next ot each other on the a custom crankshaft? Then change the timing of one of the head by 90 degrees. That would allow them to keep the heads and camshaft stock. Why do you think it wasn't done this way? Or am I getting something wrong, geometrically?
@@PuerRidcully it's easier to screw the blocks on a plan surface than cut it the right way and weld. Plus they wanted to avoid lubrication of the crankshaft. So they made it with ball bearing.
They literally invented and created their own engine internals. And they are an auto repair shop that started these blogging projects mainly to advertise their shop in the nowhere of Russia
l was thinking that it might be for weight balance or weight reduction, theres no way these guys would drill it in the wrong spot and just go with it xD
Yeah, they are crazy smart working out the math and whatnot to get all the cam angles . Granted there's still issues, but just getting it to sort of run on it's own is huge! I'm sure just a couple degrees off on a cam lobe can cause problems, and they are doing it all by hand!
They still haven't built a flying Lada. I can envision the process but, like this, it will take much development and testing along the way before it's ready to fly.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi actually they had a flying lada about 6 years ago or so (not a lada but OKA( they are almost the same)) they've used it as a basket for a giant hot air balloon, and even got fined for unregistered flight for that)
I'm from Portugal, I dont speak Russian, so thank you for having an English channel, I've been a huge fan for at least 7 years or more. From all the youtube channels I follow, this is one of the few where I never miss a video, You and your crazy projects are amazing, I really enjoy your content, keep it up!
Congratulations to the whole Garage 54 crew, including the mechanics and assistants, for completing this difficult engineering project. You are hardworking guys and you deserve every video watching you!! 😃👍🏻
The usual mechanic / parts fitter just wouldn't get exposed to this kind of problem solving. This is giving phenomenal fabrication and engineering experience to you all !!!. All you guy's futures are bright !!. Run with it !!!!!
Most manual machinists can get the same product as a cnc can produce. but it's when you want 20-1000 of the exact same thing that a cnc will way out perform on repetitive part output in a very short time frame
This got to be the best automotive channel on yt, any weird and crazy idea you think about you can find it here, can't wait to see this thing put into a lada and tested on the road!
@@Slippery_MOOSE it's about reliability though. that's why you only see oem conversions of v8 into 4 cylinder, seldom 4 into v8. v8 uses larger bearings which aid reliability in an inline 4, but possibly raise fuel consumption due to the increase in mass.
To do the things these guys do can never be understated, to build a bespoke block, rods, cams etc takes some real talent, such an amazing bunch of fellas 🫡
Amazing engineering. 5-10 men with grinder and welder create a V8. Meanwhile thousands of engineers cut down the 4th cylinder and we use 3 cylinders vibrators on 6 years of bank loan :D
You guys are nuts and brilliant, making a v8 out of many different parts and lots of welding. Honestly surprised it didn’t rattle itself to death immediately!!
That was just freaking awesome. It is a pleasure to watch real talented dudes working on literally anything, and it is especially pleasing on cars ! You guys rock
You guys never fail to do things that no one's done before . You guys are the best back yard designers/fabricators on this planet . And funny ta boot . lol
This is the most awesomely crazy thing I've ever seen! I love it. 3.0L V-8 needs to be in a sports car. Five months of work that paid out. Can't wait to see what it goes into.
That was pretty impressive. In military history you learn about so many engines that are essentially 2 or more engines connected together. In automotive history too, but it seems to happen to every successful piston engine ever used in the military. Anyways, you hear about this company or that country doing it and here we have some guys in a garage doing it too. That is pretty awesome.
This channel is awesome. One of the best on TH-cam. I love Vlad’s banter and can-do attitude. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about these guys, they can tackle just about anything.
Awesome video guys. Definitely needs fine tuning in the design, but really awesome that you guys are least got it running in the garage on something y'all welded together. Even 1 degree can throw off ignition timing on some cylinders and not others. Definitely quite a feat for something welded together. You guys are awesome, and love your views. Y'all are always doing cool stuff. You guys are probably my favorite Russian TH-camrs. Much love, and can't wait to see what y'all do next. ❤
People can joke about these guys but they are actually talented especially doing there iwn machine wirk and building crazy things for entertainment plus they are mechanically inclined i was a mechanic welder and electrician for yers i actually enjoy watching them come up with crazy ideas even though some of it does not do what they want they are doing it for entertainment but they on the serious side can probably do alot but no doubt about it every time they come in im glued to the screen watching them
You are very impressive, daring experimenting engineers and technicians. Congratulations upon completing this complex design. Each of your videos is entertaining and enlightening. Thank you for making these videos. Greetings from Ohio, USA.
You need to index the camshaft on the second block after you turn the crankshaft 90°. One of your cams is totally and completely off. One set of pistons is running and keeping the engine turning over that’s why the other side is blowing flames. You will also probably be way better off running two separate distributors.
I'm from South Carolina, and what I think would be awesome is after you figure out what it's going in! If you get it a procharger set up on that engine. You don't have to run much boost through the engine it would be cool to have one on the engine! I might be asking a lot but seeing what your group has been able to accomplish. I don't see this as an issue you guys would be unable to overcome! Good day to you guys 🫡 I can't wait for this project to continue in whatever fashion you guys see fit!
Boost would just blow it up lol Upgrading internals with precision pieces and guides for the timing chains to ensure the timing. It might actually push a lada again.
Wow! Awesome project! 😃 I can’t believe you all did so much work for 15 minutes of fun video!! Hope to see more! Ooooh those connecting rods 😲😲😲 I wouldn’t rev that thing over 1,500rpm 😧
I want them to make a flat 8 where the blocks are joined at the crank journals. They would have to assemble the rods first and then slide the blocks together and bolt them up in some crazy way.
It would be easier than this, it wouldnt take much just deck the blocks 1/4" each and add 1/4" plate with bolts on each side and then bolt them together on the outside... Basically each block would be one half a crank case and the adaptor just a flange to allow you to bolt them together around the outside .. put together like a VW.. not bad idea.... It might be easier to do it with a push rod engine because you can flip one block over and then use the same camshaft to drive full of sets of pushrods? Lol 😂
A lot of effort went into this project you guys are awesome. the froot of the labor never give up. i do not think anyone else could have pulled this off. well thought out guys. i wish these videos were longer so much to learn from watching , good stuff.
You guys are crazy in the best possible way. Very impressive the things you try and manage to get going. Really impressive and I bet you guys learn tons of interesting stuff by your hands on no fear approach!
