We had a 91 cavilar 4cyl that ran for 27 miles after it blew the head gasket and threw a rod and whole piston out of the block. Held it wide open and used the clutch to keep it running at lights and stop signed. And it was still doing reverse doughnuts when it went to the scrap yard.
@@michaelhungate7506couldn’t have been the exotic 2.2 because they started producing them in 99 but yes very reliable after you update the timing chain oiler. My dad had a 2004 Saturn ion he bought new he drove that fucker 450k miles it went through one timing set (a lot of ignition modules) and the ORIGINAL clutch it was gonna be my car until a Deer decided to become a pancake
Instant favorite for me since you towed the engine after it wouldn't run on its own! Thing was literally kicking & screaming at 8:17! And that piston blastoff was spectacular!
Those 2.3s were as legendary at being tough as they were weak. That's an incredible amount of abuse even though it was kind of helped along. Still the basic toughness of the engine is not in doubt.
When assembled years ago, no one knew that piston and rod would achieve a flight altitude of over 20 feet in the sky....... beautiful. Once installed, internal engine components can assume they'll never see the light of day again.......let alone unassisted flight and internet fame😂 Btw, killing a 2.3l like that takes skills, congrats.
So many of our projects have this type of thinking attached to it. No one knew that piston would fly. No one knew the jeep would do a wheelie. The Cadillac become a legendary rally race car. Or my random 350 engine block would be used as a wrecking ball to decimate what was left of my sister's car.
That was the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. That piston just flying out the block with flames and sparks 🔥 . Bloody awesome. I laughed so hard at that guys. Just Brutal destruction. Loved this guys.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍😉 Subscribed 😉👍 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍 Anthony, United Kingdom
The 2.5 (same engine as tye old 2.3) in my '99 Ranger did that to cylinder 4. It dropped a valve, destroyed the piston. Took the head off and all that was there was the rod. Chuncks of piston in the oil pan.
Facebook marketplace be like, Rare well kept ford ranger, it was my grandfathers truck. $5600 runs great saves on gas. Super reliable and all highway miles. I will not respond to “is this still available” or I will block you. No low ballers. No joy rides or test drives. Bring me cash and drive it away.
Nope🤣 woulda been smart. If we ever do this again it would have to be a carbureted engine. This is the second time we've done this now and both times it ran decent for a few minutes then the computer just started doing wacky things
@@japhethbonnema and that's just time and wear happening to it and time was not nice to that one. Though it happens but give the chance to build it better tho.
I want to do something like this except use a second engine coupled to the first, that way once the dying engine tries to seize, the second engine forcibly runs the dying engine until all pistons fly out.
That piston launch was just beautiful
Just like Colin Furze's Alfa
❤❤❤❤ WOW 🎉
"I am free!" as it launches and leaves that engine. NO more pain my guy, no more.
Definitely one of the most iconic piston launches ever. You could put that on a billboard.
Man that piston firing up into the air was beautiful, i needed that today

The ecotech 2 2? Another very tough engine.

I am at a loss for words, this was the funniest and most inspiring video I have seen in a while
Oh shit you sent that piston to a low earth orbit 😂😂😂
Expecting a call from Elon musk to invite me to join space X. Any minute now surely...
Instant favorite for me since you towed the engine after it wouldn't run on its own! Thing was literally kicking & screaming at 8:17! And that piston blastoff was spectacular!
That piston and rod shot out of there so perfectly! Let's get that in slow mo next time 🤣

I got another video with a compilation of a lot of abuse we gave her
I saw a video of one in a Mustang with a 2 stage dry nitrous kit (300hp worth) and it lived 3 hits
Best piston flyjng video ever
Products of boredom with dutiful perseverance 🇺🇸
Wow! You managed to replicate Colin furze piston take off experiment with the same method! Good entertainment guys!
Gotta give credit to the OG
That flying piston was just awesome! I'm surprised it didn't go into orbit!
This is a masterpiece. That piston taking flight made my day
😂😂 next door neighbors at 3 am be like

the 2.3 is such a good engine though, RIP to that inline 4.
Huge compilation in the works.. she's been through it all
It literally ate and chewed up one of it's own pistons internally and kept spinning.. I will say that's is very, very impressive engine quality..
@@japhethbonnemayou should rebuild it
We will rebuild
OMG that was the most epic piston launch ever LOL

Gotta make some art out of that piston. It has an unbelievable story behind it. That was awesome
We still got it! On the display shelf for now but yes we gotta think of something
Haha this is like the young gasser version of zipties and bias plys channel😂🙃
"Where we're going, we don't need pistons!"
Well done gents! Piston launch was magnificent as was the overall burn-down without it even running.
best fire crackers I've ever seen on a 4 of july, f..k !!! what an ending!!!. magnificent video, aloha man
Jesus Christ I've never seen a piston blow up with no head 😂 beautiful
8:39 i know the problem with it, it has no gas in it
Nothing a machine shop could not skim. Put in oversize bearing and piston rings, and your good to go.
You guys are absolutely amazing keep these videos up
The last few Seconds are Epic! Thank you for that Crazy but Funny Video.
Piston 2 was like "ight, ima head out"
The 2.5 (same engine as tye old 2.3) in my '99 Ranger did that to cylinder 4.
It dropped a valve, destroyed the piston. Took the head off and all that was there was the rod. Chuncks of piston in the oil pan.
You absolutely made my day with that piston launch!!!!😂😂
4:34 it sounded like a weed cutter 😂
Those little 2.3s are pretty stout. I dropped a valve hooning and drove it home 4 miles on 3 cylinders
Great video guys looked like a blast!!!
3:26 man it sounded as it was runing on one piston, its was sounding like a boat
4:37 POV dads weed waker
The Fricken connecting rod end cap was glowing in the air!!!! 😮😮
Tell that to levi. He's colorblind and still doesn't believe me
@@japhethbonnema Hey its clear as day on that slow mo, you can even frame by frame it, that thing is emitting light 🤣
This deserves way more views lol! Esp. that piston making a proper exit.
Huge thanks

what a beautiful footage
Best piston launch I've ever seen
Number 2 piston: I identify as a rocket now
Did you plug off the oil passage on the crank for the missing rod? It'll keep the oil pressure up for the other cylinders
Nope🤣 woulda been smart. If we ever do this again it would have to be a carbureted engine. This is the second time we've done this now and both times it ran decent for a few minutes then the computer just started doing wacky things
How does this not have a million views yet?
It is because I forgot to pause the video right before it blew up to tell people to like subscribe and smash that like button and buy my t-shirt 😭
@@japhethbonnema pay a little bit of advertising fees. Even $20 bucks should help this video get a few tens of thousands of views.
i was thinking you are a big youyuber but when i looked , by the way the video was really good keep it up
lots of love from INDIA
Well when The piston won't come out, you make it come out the hard way wether it wants to or not!
Next time, maybe it could make it to low earth orbit.
You know seeing cars or trucks like that always make me think like wow..... That was MINT at one point look at it now lol.
Very real
@@japhethbonnema and that's just time and wear happening to it and time was not nice to that one. Though it happens but give the chance to build it better tho.
8:56 that shit was epic 😂
I've had 2 rangers with 4cyl 5 speed long as you keep them fluids filled its tough af
you guys in minnesota know how to have fun
8:38 AWESOME!!!! Why am I watching engine blow-up videos? HAHA
That was crazy that was a lunch from hell 😂
that piston ejection wow lets name this the tow blow
Thant was Awesome! How do you guy's think to do this stuff!
It's because we live in the flatlands. All there Is to do Is think. 🤣
Image the reaction of someone finding a piston laying in the middle of the road.... That was spectacular! That'll fit well in a meme somewhere.
if "Diding diding diding Engine Gabutt" needed a visualization, this video would be it XD
That was excellent
I had 90 and 97 not far in Iowa to
commander we have Lift off!!!
That piston reached stratosphere in nano seconds and i was cracking up that i shoock my bed
Geez that engine was probably as broken as you could ever break an engine!
We're you towing it in gear?
Yessir
BRO LOL YOU HAD UR OWN MISSILE! with the piston lol...
That was rad!!!🤟
You naughty boys 😂
the piston jumped out . 8:29
That was AWESOME! THANKS!!!!!!!!!
definitely one of the most brutal destruction of a car/engine ive seen on youtube gawd damn
We try our best 🥰
that was nice
Piston wants to be in a scesena
Nice job!
When I thought it was over, you spin the engine without the head.
Sounds like your engine is about to shit the bed
TAKE FLIGHT LITTLE PISTON TAKE FLIGHT
Don't underestimate any I 4 motor. I have a 2.2 eccotec in my 02 cavalier. No check engine light and it still runs tits
lol the piston left the chat
Thst piston straight up and out
That’s the type of rot box that always has a recent bill of sale so u can drive on the road for a couple days haha
Underrated comment and it ain't even rated yet
AWESOME
Punchouts piston Honda would be proud first launch of a engine part to the moon

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you make this in Gemany ... The Prison is wait for you... And after the Prison comes the psychiatry
Houston we have take off!
That was EPIC
EJECT EJECT EJECT ⏏️

we have liftoff 🚀
Thank you youtube algorithm
We must teach the machine 🤖

Beautiful
Are you related to whistling diesel?
