As an American Auto mechanic, whether your engine is american, or Russian or Soviet you guys have done an absolutely beautiful job! You should be very proud of all the work you've done! The microphones that you're using made that engine sound awesome! What size is that engine! I would have changed over that nylon cam gear and used a steel gear.
I've got a 4.2 TB not a V or an 8 but seems like a stationary engine aswell, internals all seem the same even the heads seemed very similar. Only downfall is power is down low but they rev high, so turbos are Usualy added but then comes heat as they're not designed for heavy use/acceleration
“The Diesel engine that was in it failed.” This had me laughing , I remember watching it get killed on petrol and all kinds of different combustion fluids Keep up the good work brothers I’m loving this channel in the USA.
turns out you guys can also do amazing and pro mechanical stuff, not only the funny weird projects. I certainly enjoy both, but it's refreshing to see this type of a project as well!
Nice job ! The young guy looks so much like a good friend I had from 1959 to 1994 , it gives me chills . My he died in '94 . Take care , Neil in California 👍
It happened to me once…after reassembling a Chevy 350 I reached in the window and turned the key and the engine happily came to life with no pumping priming pulling or twisting. Congratulations to your prowess.
If got recommended this channel in Russia a week or so ago and watched this episode in Russian. Younger guy is kinda more boss than the older guy, at least in this project. Also, translation makes it worst, in real tongue they sound like two red necks down in South Carolina.
They have a laser cleaner. They stripped the paint off an old Lada, then it got rained on. They took off about 45 kilograms, about 100 pounds, if my memory serves me.
We did this at a salvage yard I worked at. Better of putting car inside and running exhaust outside. Car will idle for about a week before rings get weak and lose compression.
I know of a guy who lived in an area were they had frequent power outages in the winter. He had an old VW rabbit diesel engine set up to run his generator. His home had a radiant heat system so he had the engine plumbed in to the system. If the lights went out, he could fire that thing up to run his home and help heat it. I never thought to ask if it would do the job all by itself.
It wouldn't work where they are. You'd need someone in the car power braking an automatic to generate the heat, and most of that heat would leave the radiator. I used to detail cars in a tent in winter, I just ran the exhaust hose outside and let all the heat stay inside. It worked In freezing temps, but that's not going to heat a shop in colder temps... Not an unloaded engine at least
That would be a headache for them, With Zero tools that will fit in most cases (as they use their own measurement system for tools, EG my 1989 LADA had 13.5 and 10.5mm spanners in toolkit, Zero parts available (keep in mind most places dont even have parts stores for local cars (MOST repairs are done with parts from wreckers) Nothing else would line up & fit.
@@jacobthomas90 pal, there is not a lot of options to get something similar here in Russia now. Cost of shipment makes this stuff expensive like it solid gold.
That OM606 getting pulled out is known for its reliability and strength. Like insane strength. Like the bottom end can take 670hp. I dont think that ZMZ is any comparison.
They really called that OM606 the weakpoint of that G-Class. This engine would probably be my number one choice besides a V8. It's called the diesel-2JZ for a reason....
I don't typically watch any videos commonly, let alone a full engine swap with cleaning etc, but this was quite interesting and entertaining, the Team's done a fantastic job! Keep up the dream!
I still remember you working in a small shak of a garage few years back, its good to see you be successful like this, best of luck for future Really like the stuff you do, love and good wishes from india 🇮🇳
Head studs, interesting. At any rate, you did a beautiful job and it does look a lot like a vintage American engine. I love the retrofit idea, and I hope it gives years of fun.
I am impressed by the professional work on the engine, the young man clearly knows what he's doing. It is amusing to see the English writing on the oil filter, are there no oil filters made in Russia? God bless you guys, I love your channel!
Love your content, always interesting and original. I love seeing and learning about Russian vehicles and car culture. It's some of the best automotive content on TH-cam as many of the popular channels do boring and repetitive stuff, and seem to care only about sponsor adds and content based on featuring a product, or reviews of products. I'm a car enthusiast and love to see other car people actually work on and modify cars. The bonus as an American is to see and learn more about Russian car culture.
This is very impressive, for sure. Well done - I look forward to seeing it with an exhaust, power steering etc and seeing what it can do, plus how it sounds.
Hey guys, here in the U.S.A. that's called "HOT RODDIN"!!! I don't care where you are or, where you're from. There's ALWAYS, a group of guys, trying to make things faster, stronger, MORE POWERFUL!!! AND,,,, we ALL share this common intrest!!!
Wow that is a amazing piece of machinery you’ve made. Just goes to Think that you can make what ever you want in life if you have motivation, time and money. Great job.
I'm a huge fan of these guys enginuity. Creating and exceeding expectations with ancient engines. I would also love to watch the same episodes in Russian with subtitles. You guys have enough viewers, you can double up on views by having the same episodes with subs.
except ZMZ is bigger as i remember (not bigger by volume), has all aluminium block and heads. Also it has wet sleeves. So it's quite different. But yep, it reminds of chevy small block, or ford Y block
Probably one of my favorite engine build videos. If this were some American channel they would have dragged this to 10 episode upload. Thanks for keeping it short and entertaining.
Except they literally are.... G Wagons are incredible off road, they just don't get used as such by the rich. Many people have tested them and they perform very well. Same thing with range rovers.

Zmz 511. 4,5L, something around 200hp. Zmz does a few similar engines, differences is in the displacement (4,25-5,5) litres and type of fuel. Some uses pure gasoline, some of them adapted to use gas+propane. Last model zmz524 has fuel injection system.
Good job fellas super good idea to port the cylinder heads and raise the compression. I really enjoyed this video. You guys look good in the background!!!!
dude that engine architecture is crazy, its like an old buick, ford, chrysler and studebaker v8 slammed together, non-skirted block with rocker shafts? cylinder deck is super tall like a hemi. those engines will keep chugging through the apocalypse if the oil pressure stays good!
I always wondered how could they have German oil in Russia after all that sanctions for the "special operation". Well didn't expect it was just a trick 😂
Nice build, can't wait to see what kinda crazy stuff y'all get up to. Really cool to see, and I really do like the old school American quality they used to put in the domestic cars back in the day. I really wish cars here were still more metal than microchips, and not built with planned obsolescence in mind. Things ain't built to last like they used to be. Anyway, cool build, and I look forward to seeing what y'all have in store. Thank y'all for everything you do.❤️🔧
Internals look similar to the TB series stationery engines. Add a decompression plate HD springs and a nice big turbo! It's already setup for it and it'll help clear it's lines/ports as it age's with the added pressure's.

As an American Auto mechanic, whether your engine is american, or Russian or Soviet you guys have done an absolutely beautiful job! You should be very proud of all the work you've done!
The microphones that you're using made that engine sound awesome! What size is that engine!
I would have changed over that nylon cam gear and used a steel gear.
looks like a 4.3 liter v8! according to wikipedia... sounds a lot like an LT1
4.67l
I've got a 4.2 TB not a V or an 8 but seems like a stationary engine aswell, internals all seem the same even the heads seemed very similar.
Only downfall is power is down low but they rev high, so turbos are Usualy added but then comes heat as they're not designed for heavy use/acceleration

Yes, once you have a laser cleaner you will always be looking for something to use it on.
Zinc would be a bit of an issue.
They have a laser cleaner. They stripped the paint off an old Lada, then it got rained on. They took off about 45 kilograms, about 100 pounds, if my memory serves me.
Will it work on my neighbors eyes?
When it gets cold you guys should try to heat your building with a lada. Park the lada outside and run heater core lines inside to a cast radiator.
We did this at a salvage yard I worked at. Better of putting car inside and running exhaust outside. Car will idle for about a week before rings get weak and lose compression.
I have done that with cars before. It works just like a boiler in a house or building

LS SWAP ROOSHA😊
they should make a v8 instead. with 2 4 cyl
They deserve a big block though
Twin turbo smx in a Lada 😂

With Zero tools that will fit in most cases (as they use their own measurement system for tools, EG my 1989 LADA had 13.5 and 10.5mm spanners in toolkit,
Zero parts available (keep in mind most places dont even have parts stores for local cars (MOST repairs are done with parts from wreckers)
Nothing else would line up & fit.
If I had a fiber laser, I would use it on everything too
After their last video, I was thinking of how many things in my garage would be cleaned if I had one.
Ikr lmaoooo😂😂
I could see me using it to strip all the organic paint and clear off my current Benz in prep for new paint. Much cleaner than media blasting.
Gave me a business idea
I used one on my wife and she looks 20 years younger!
You should fabricate a 4 barrel intake manifold for that engine.
thats what i was thinking... can they get Holley stuff in Russia?
Maybe do a tri power setup with three of those 2bbls they are probably easier to come by and would look siiiick😊
@@jacobthomas90 pal, there is not a lot of options to get something similar here in Russia now. Cost of shipment makes this stuff expensive like it solid gold.
@@notagunfreak8146 so what?. Money transfer system dont work during sanctions, also western markets dont sell anything to Russia.

need to see a nice straight-pipe setup on this, really cool job you've done on this
4:23 "Killo-meters" bro said that like an American 😂
Literally etched the whole block. Ported. Decked for more compression. That's a whole new engine one of a kind. A beast.
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A BEAMNG SWAP!!!! Incrredible!! AWESOME G54!!!
The craftmanship and detail to the engine is breath taking 😮
There's a reason why it's called "flex" plate...It need to be flexible to compensate minor misalignments between the engine and transmission...
