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 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.
@@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'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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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. ;)

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.

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.

My grandfather told me one time we got a bad knock going over a mountain and opened the engine and made a bearing out of a pants belt and soaked it in oil . They got where they were going and fixed it right .
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....
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
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

Once it hits that mileage it's supposed to hit a scrap yard according to them.
Cole Cooper you are correct…. In some makes there are internal parts (engine and transmission) that are actually designed to fail after a considerable amount of miles. Sad…. I drive a pair of Toyota 4Runners, one with 255k the other 290k…. Fixing frame rot on one only because at 290k miles it runs smooth, shifts like silk, goes dead straight and the a/c blows ice cold…Not the first Toyota frame I’ve fixed and surely won’t be the last.

The problem is American manufacturers see everything as disposable. I took a Ford class to learn about a specific diesel engine and even on a diesel, something you expect to last a long time, the manufacturers only expect the lifetime to be around 150k miles. Once it hits that mileage it's supposed to hit a scrap yard according to them.
Cole Cooper you are correct…. In some makes there are internal parts (engine and transmission) that are actually designed to fail after a considerable amount of miles. Sad…. I drive a pair of Toyota 4Runners, one with 255k the other 290k…. Fixing frame rot on one only because at 290k miles it runs smooth, shifts like silk, goes dead straight and the a/c blows ice cold…Not the first Toyota frame I’ve fixed and surely won’t be the last.
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
