Everyone: " Lead pistons? Nonsense." Garage 54: "Let's prepare and try real sample! It will be funny." 😂 ... I like this channel. Big automotive company would do PC simulation. Garage 54 prepares real example and that's interesting, even more entertaining and funny 😂
Those crank case fumes would scare the hell out of me. I remember in the 90s that an F1 team got in trouble for using some kind of poisonous molybdenum alloy in their pistons. I can't imagine pure lead!!! 😮😮😮
F1 has a new driver and the car has been on a collision alert since last night so we have been on a lot more than usual this week so I don’t think we will have a car
@IntegerOfDoom Sure, but any lead you accumulate in your lungs will literally be in your body for the rest of your life irradiating you, giving you cancer.
I was waiting for someone to mention about the vaporised lead. :o Hopefully it's not too harmful for just one video! If they go mad, at least their vids will be more exciting than ever! ;)
Friend of mines dad did car exhaust out of copper pipe and lead soldier like old home plumbing. It was hilarious when the exhaust heated up and the soldier melted again and all the piping fell out from under the car.
Plus, all the lead he breathed at stoplights. So funny lol (You never use lead solder for plumbing unless you like being blind. Edit: well, not your potable water, anyway and septic has been PVC and glue for a long time now)
@FuckGoogle502 "old home piping" was what i said as a description of the method used, not of current construction standards lmao. Also, i'm pretty sure he didn't breathe much in while driving as it heated up and fell off during the initial start and warmup test. Also, if you manage to get car exhaust *inside* your car while driving, a small amount of lead vapor is the least of your problems.
Tungsten pistons would not do as well, naming wise, cos "Lead Pistons" would make a great name for a 1990s style indie/alternative rock band, or maybe "Tin Pistons". However, tungsten pistons would probably be more durable, as tungsten has a melting point of 3400C and is used in the durable alloy, tungsten carbide. :) Disclaimer: Not a musician or scientist.
I remember as a kid, impressing other kids by bending a pipe my grandfather had removed from our water supply. Didn't tell them it was lead! So knowing from a young age what the properties of lead are, I'm expecting these to last about 3s.
I reckon, having watched it all, that #3 or #4 piston would make a great mould for a mega high compression piston made out of a sensible material. Do that @Garage54, make a mega high compression piston set from what you've learned! That, my friends, is the appliance of science!
I actually predicted that just cranking it would start wearing out the pin bores and cause contact. You can see they immediately bent an intake valve, hence the combustion pressure coming out the carb on every cycle. Either I was right or they had bent valves already.
You can always get a close enough timing without running the engine. Just line up the rotor with where it would be pointing to No. 1. Then line up the mark on the front pulley with the timing mark. Turn on the engine and slowly rotate the distributor until you see the points separate and create a tiny bit of spark. That will ensure the Lada will start and there won't be any guessing i.e. twisting the distributor trying to get it to start.
Lead vaporizes at much much higher temperatures than whatever temp a combustion chamber gets to. This isn't like leaded fuel where the lead is already volatile ish
These two pistons, which are imprinted in the shape of the combustion chamber, are ideal templates for the production of pistons that increase the compression ratio. :P
Let me know when you get this: Lead exposure can cause high blood pressure and brain, kidney and reproductive health issues in adults. Symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, stomach cramps, constipation, muscle/joint pain, trouble sleeping, fatigue, irritability, and loss of sex drive. Probably should have at least done this outside.

Great video! How about casting the lead with copper or brass inserts for holding the piston rings and conrod pin? Pretty sure, more positive results will be achieved, at least longer using time.
What about steel pistons? Start with a large diameter steel tube and weld a cover over the end and put a smaller diameter tube through the side for the gudgeon pin. Add a brace to the inner ends of that tube. No need for any metal casting. These might actually have a chance of lasting for a reasonable time.
I have a idea, Who ever likes it, spam it so they can do it next. Try to make all the internals al light as possible to make a usable high revving engine. Light crank, light conrods, light pistons, light flywheel. Even light camshaft. It should rev like crazy especially with ported heads and some exhaust branches
You guys are great. Experimental research at it's best! "What would happen if..." "Let's try it..." Wonderful and informative videos. I'll add a second vote for trying stone, like granite?
That was funny it sounded like a diesel at first then it just clapped out I knew the pin's would wolow out but the top of the piston was the funniest part 👍👍👍
Crazy video. I love these crazy experiments you guys do! Those crankcase fumes / exhaust is definitely something I would not recommend breathing in! Lead oxide is extremely toxic.
It reminds me of the fact that here in the UK we were still using leaded petrol in cars well into the 2000s (banned in 1999, but plenty suppliers still sold it, and is still available to an extent for "non-road use"), and allegedly there's still lead in the air around london which they blame on "old fumes still hanging around", totally nothing to do with the leaded aviation fuel still used at the airports down there in london... :P
@@captainotto They still fly over the place, and winds can carry the fumes in and around the general area, so quite easy to keep london from being fully "unleaded", not that it matters really, it's london, the world's money laundering centre... :P
you guys should try putting 3 or 4 radiators on to a car, the idea would be to basically cool the engine so much that it can't reach operting temperature, therfore the engine would run cold all the time, and see what happens.
Meanwhile in the US they are trying to remove lead from ammunition due to health and environmental crap. Garage 54 is melting, machining, and handling huge chunks with their bare hands. Real men.
If your definition of a real man is to play with a toxic metal, not knowing that it's going to turn you into a Madman, you have an odd view as to what a real man is
The fumes coming off that are probably worse than eating lead paint chips or inhaling lead dust, causes serious brain damage, it may make for really interesting future videos. This channel is great
Can you do transparent snorkel including intake box. Love to see what it doing during rain which can be test with hose. Some people say it will suck water in since it suck air.

"about as useful as lead pistons", 10 thumbs up guys very well done
I wonder if tungsten metal might do better. You'd get even heavier pistons, but the metal is fairly hard and strong.
It's so expensive

What would happen with stone pistons, like granite?

I don't think they have tools to cut granite, but maybe some day. What about bulletproof glass?

This is a brilliant idea :)
Imagine if they made a granite engine block

Lead on the tires was the funniest video ever.

Fantastic results. Expected not to work, of course, but the results sure seem worthwhile. Good stuff.
Thank you for making this video for out amusement. I can't even come up with the stuff you guys do. Keep doing what you're doing please.
These pistons did not last long , good fun and good for a laugh. these pistons were almost swapping holes. very interesting guys love your videos.

Definitely need to make tungsten pistons next!
Next time, try a pure gold or silver Piston 😂😂😂

Quick rebuild and she'll be running strong again 😂 just make sure to check the clearance on the new cylinders
Gives new meaning to "lead footed"
That was amazing 🤩 Exactly what you would expect and so much more!
Another great video guys I was trying to think which way was this experiment going to go.Bruce .

Yep, this was a dodgy one. Both ends of the car would've had some really nasty shit coming out.
Vlad cracking up at the weight of that piston made my day 😂
Wow I spotted a new lathe! Congrats, looks nice!
This is the first time I was laughing so hard watching this channel
I want to see what happens to a differential filled to the max. Try it please
It would just start to leak from the breather or axle seals once it built pressure
Since lead is soft, the next logical heavy material would be tungsten, as D.U. might be a problem to shape.
Do to the soft nature, they might be able to make their own bearings out of the lead, but the heat friction may be too much heat for that as well.
New meaning to the words 'melted pistons'. Great video!
Fascinating experiment. I imagine they'd work without rings but maybe the tops wouldn't mushroom enough to get compression.
You need to use tungsten. It's heavy like lead, but more durable
Please try titanium pistons :)
Expensive and hard to work with.
@@jesses1589yeah, and there would be no fun at all, titanium pistons just gonna work properly

"hey at least the rods held out, that's nice!" 😂😂😂
At around the 11:00 mark it sounded like there were pistons not even connected to the rods anymore. 😂
As well as being very heavy it also has a very Low Melting point so I expect if it run , it won't run for long.
I love this channel, and these experiments
I have a idea,
Who ever likes it, spam it so they can do it next.
Try to make all the internals al light as possible to make a usable high revving engine.
Light crank, light conrods, light pistons, light flywheel. Even light camshaft.
It should rev like crazy especially with ported heads and some exhaust branches
Just watch a Honda VTEC Video. It's all lightweight
I love the way they take it to the limit!
The weight of the lead pistons completely defeated the crankshaft's ability to counter balance for vibrations.
You guys are great. Experimental research at it's best! "What would happen if..." "Let's try it..." Wonderful and informative videos. I'll add a second vote for trying stone, like granite?
Yes! Ive wondered how this would work for so long.

Those crankcase fumes / exhaust is definitely something I would not recommend breathing in! Lead oxide is extremely toxic.
mmm leaded exhaust gas in an enclosed shop. This week on Garage 54 we see how much lead the human lungs can take😂
If the top of the pistons were made of lead, you would never get compression issues. The lead would keep squashing into the bore and sealing it up.
It reminds me of the fact that here in the UK we were still using leaded petrol in cars well into the 2000s (banned in 1999, but plenty suppliers still sold it, and is still available to an extent for "non-road use"), and allegedly there's still lead in the air around london which they blame on "old fumes still hanging around", totally nothing to do with the leaded aviation fuel still used at the airports down there in london... :P
