Nordic gold. It contains no gold, being composed of copper, aluminium, zinc, and tin. Its composition is 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin.
I'm 104% an amateur in this field, thus professional amateur. Professionals are experts, so.. As an expert I would say you're probably right, no real gold in that pour
I was thinking the same thing. Anyone who knows the first thing about gold knows roughly how much money he was just holding..... Time to call in sick and make a run for it lol.
It looks like Nordic gold. Basically Brass. Copper with zinc and some other trace amounts of base metals. I’ve made bars like it myself. It’s fun to fool people.
I could tell from the poor, gold doesn't have slag like that, nor does it crystalize the way this alloy did (mind you it was probably like -20 out there at a maximum so I can't be sure of that last part at them temps, but considering it's not actually gold, I'd hedge that it would still hold true).
In some applications titanium is used to make valves. Titanium can also be anodized to be yellow. So it's possible to make perfectly functional valves vaguely resembling gold. These are obviously brass valves, but it's a pretty cool experiment.
I believe some sort of copper and tin mixture most likely. Whatever it’s made of garage 54 has great machining skills to cast and cut their own valves! 👍👍
There was recently a gold smuggling case where the smugglers had disguised the gold as helical screws, gears and other machine parts. There's a picture in the story.
@@hughjass1835 It can't be 100% pure because there can be nom alloyable materials embedded/locked into it. Getting anything to be 100% pure is almost impossible.
@@Colorado_Nativeyes there is but it’s gold bars , you have to make It 9 carat or 24 carat or it’s too soft to make things like gold rings and chains, even though these are probably using brass

Rewatch around 35 seconds, they tell you to post what you actually think they used to make the valves. Click bait, sure, but they are knowledging that the valves are not actually gold. It looks like Nordic gold to me, but I'm no expert.
Yknow im kinda thinking about this. Honestly a softer metal just for the seat doesnt sound too bad of an idea because in theory, wouldnt it help form to the head when it seats and seal it better? Let me know in the comments if this has been tried or if its just a bad idea and why.
If those valves last more than a second after installation, they’re not made from gold. The pressure of the valve springs would pull them apart. If anything they’re made from Nordic Gold, which is an alloy of copper(89%), aluminum(5%), Zinc(5%), and tin(1%).
Is this the engine block with honed and polished cylinders??? Maybe that's why the cylinder head looks so different in each of the 4 combustion chambers. Brass and bronze conduct heat better than steel. So the intake valves are colder and accumulated more sud.
I am guessing that the alloy is a silicon bronze or possibly "Nibral' - Nickle, bronze, aluminium. Both of these bronze alloys are extremely strong metals.
They are made from brass. If they were gold, the valve heads would have snapped off on the first turn of the key. Made from brass I was surprised that the stems didn't expand on the exhaust valves locking them open. Cool engineering though, well impressed.
The funny thing is youtube hardly pays their creators what they deserve, unless you are a massive channel, you're gonna struggle to get more than £100 a month.
Next, I'd like to nominate diamond-coating the valve chamber and valves. It should cost less than this project. It'd be interesting to see if the engine efficiency gets improved.
Now, Existing brass valve guides, is what sticks in my mind. Like, as in, designed to work against hardened steel, not a softer material. Thing is, What other material should they be? Ceramic?
And I had a brass bullet casing once before and when I scratched it it shine like metal so yeah when they leave this what they call Gold on this lady that looks like metal. Yeah it's definitely brass
what else than brass ( Of the four most common gold purity levels, 10K is the most durable, though it also has the lowest gold content. 14K is slightly purer while also highly durable, while 18K gold is the purest form of gold that's typically used for engagement rings and other jewelry ) BUT if you can make lower than 10k then you can make it last longer in 90% smaller engine than normal car engine,in mini engine what you can hold in hand :=)

I was looking for this name
never heard that name but i´m alo be sure it´s what we call Aluminium-Bronze
Tend to aggrege with the you. Linus Sabbatian from LTT had difficulty in a proper lab, porosity was an issue when making his 24k X-Box controller
Next project: concrete pistons
I’d say they’d get smashed immediately.
Hydraulic Cement would last a hair longer.... 😅
The heat from combustion would evaporate the water into the concrete and they would disintegrate
Rubber pistons with gold piston rings
A polished stone piston wouldnt be impossible? If it gets polished and fittet with rings :P
Refractory cement! 😂
It's real Gold that's made out of Brass
Jesus Christ, the merch shop must have really taken off.

yup cuz you know right loser
It's an alloy. Could be brass most likely because the aluminium alloys that make that color would be way to soft.
Aluminium bronze is harder than steel
It’s an alloy called Nordic Gold. 89% Copper, 5% aluminum, 5% zinc, 1% tin.
@@AutodidactEngineer But steel has higher melting point.
@@AutodidactEngineer It is only harder than really junky steels. Not even close to any decent steel alloys.
@@PREDATEURLT So brass or bronze wouldn't hold up to heat like steel would, in this situation?
Machinist here.. that is definately brass. The colour and the chips are a dead giveaway.
Wake up garage 54 posted
Good morning🥱
1:09 No way this is a gold bar.
A real gold bar this size weighs about 12kg
u can tell those are brass just by the way the chips come off on the lathe.

Yes
Nope it’s real gold.
Fools gold
also known as iron pyrite
fools gold is pyrite. This is nordic gold, a brass alloy
No matter what they're made of, you guys are out there, answering questions I didn't have, but need to know, and for that, I thank you.
Nordic Gold
HAS to be nordic gold, a brass alloy. Nobody would DARE destroy a brick of gold worth over 200 thousand US dollars unless they were the Joker
HAS to be, unless it's brass
Have you seen WistlinDiesel???
@@tonybundy8185 yeah, he likes to destroy things and laughs at people who cry about it. hes literally the joker
@ChaotiX1 not "literally". Because he's literally not the joker. Learn the definition of words people.
@@6P3-MK4 i literally dont care you literal grammar nazi
Its called nordic gold. Its an alloy contaong copper, aluminum, zink, and tin. Looks like gold little harder and lighter than gold.
Little lighter? gold weights abaut double as much. On that gold bar kind of size it means abaut 5 kg difference. I would not say a little..
In some applications titanium is used to make valves. Titanium can also be anodized to be yellow. So it's possible to make perfectly functional valves vaguely resembling gold.

That's def brass, you can see the tarnishing.
Two drawbacks of gold in an engine. It's soft and it's heavy.
Gold valves would break pretty quickly
Can always gold plate other metal but would be pretty pointless 😁😎
sodium filled valves were used in heavy duty engines
Brass, the slavic gold 😆

How to smuggel gold .... build an engine out of it 😂😂😂
There’s a Russian tv show where a guy buys an old lada and it ends up being made of gold. The name of the show is lada gold.
There was recently a gold smuggling case where the smugglers had disguised the gold as helical screws, gears and other machine parts. There's a picture in the story.
99.9% Brass.
With so many mixtures to make brass there is no 99.9% brass. As soon as you add tin to copper, it's 100% brass
@@hughjass1835 It can't be 100% pure because there can be nom alloyable materials embedded/locked into it.

@@vitor900000Yes, very true. One thing I learned in the military is there's no such thing as pure BS. It's always contaminated with a little fact.

Yeah I think its brass, when the valves are on the table they look almost exactly like trumpets
I love these guys so much the shit they come up with is hilarious 😆

GOLD IS A SOFT METAL, NOT BUYING IT....
This almost seems like too simple of an experiment for Garage 54 these days.
You have a very talented crew! 👏
You guys are the best. I’ve never seen anybody do cars like you guys.
YES THIS IS BRASS =)
the green and white residue from the molten metal indicates the presence of zinc. The colour and the fact there is zinc means the metal is brass
Brass. Gold wouldn't last a minute.
Yknow im kinda thinking about this. Honestly a softer metal just for the seat doesnt sound too bad of an idea because in theory, wouldnt it help form to the head when it seats and seal it better?
Let me know in the comments if this has been tried or if its just a bad idea and why.
Amazing content.
Would have been interesting to mic the stems to check for mushrooming as well as checking the length against a stock valve.
Gold has a melting point right above lead..to soft also
+1 for brass
If those valves last more than a second after installation, they’re not made from gold. The pressure of the valve springs would pull them apart.
If anything they’re made from Nordic Gold, which is an alloy of copper(89%), aluminum(5%), Zinc(5%), and tin(1%).
I notice that the Color on the video is turned up to make it look a bit more like gold.
either solid gold brass or nordic gold, which is mostly copper but has aluminium and zinc in it.
Is this the engine block with honed and polished cylinders???
Maybe that's why the cylinder head looks so different in each of the 4 combustion chambers.

Nice round headlight Lada wagon!
How much compression gives golden valves? How much weight did they lose?
I am guessing that the alloy is a silicon bronze or possibly "Nibral' - Nickle, bronze, aluminium. Both of these bronze alloys are extremely strong metals.
Waaaaaayyyy too much work-very good show thank you

This is just the thing for my solid diamond engine block :) .
That looks like brass!! But if it is gold! You fellas must be making a killing with your merch!👌😂👍
Unique idea.
Y’all should do a before and after of the New Motor Oil Restore & Protect by Valvoline. Personally I think it’s just like any other oil.
That's some brassy-looking gold there.... :P
I would say brass, bronze would be too brittle and gold would melt. Gold melts at 1,948 Deg. F, combustion chamber temps 2500-4500F
🤣 you can tell that it's brass because of the way that it is 🤣🤣.
Love it you guys are awsome
you guys should make ratio rocker arms, check if you can get any more valve lift. maybe cut the pistons to make room lol
That youtube monetization ain't no joke
🤣👍🏻👌🏻
The funny thing is youtube hardly pays their creators what they deserve, unless you are a massive channel, you're gonna struggle to get more than £100 a month.
That’s true brass is pretty expensive these days!😂
Try lead valves, could be fun (on cold engine it might work for few minutes)
Awesome video
These guys rule super awesome 👌
I didn’t expect the valves would have lasted that long!
Nearly a million subscribers!
just by how it looks and way its sticking/splitting maybe nordic gold (copper alloy)
Next, I'd like to nominate diamond-coating the valve chamber and valves. It should cost less than this project. It'd be interesting to see if the engine efficiency gets improved.
The way it machines / turns I'd say brass, or some similar kind of alloy.
"I love goooooooold !!"
That's nortic gold!
You guys should make Titanium valves now that would be amazing imagine the beating they would take and how they would sound :). keep up the hard work.
This takes bent valves to a whole nother level.
thats nordic Gold!
Now,
Existing brass valve guides, is what sticks in my mind.
Like, as in, designed to work against hardened steel, not a softer material.
Thing is,
What other material should they be?
Ceramic?
The schmell of it, the look of it, the taste the texture.
Say it: i love gooooolllld!
Was waiting for this comment.
Ok Goldmember 🤣👍
How many alternators can you put on a car before it stalls out?
Is it a brass/zinc alloy?
Maybe you could work harden some brass and do it again with brass??
Definitely brass. During melting we saw slag and gold does not have slag.
Ormolu (copper zinc alloy). You guys R the "Gold Finger Mechanic Whisperers". Cheers!
That’s a lot of gold! 😂
april fools stock?
That's what I'm thinking. The non-dubbed video probably dropped on 4/1.
It was uploaded on 6 April on the Russian channel.
Perhaps they filmed this one and thought. "You know what? We can do better!"
Vows are either out of made out of white metal or lead or some kind of metal like that it might be white metal
This is probably about the same as the video where they made aluminum valves
Id say its either bronze or brass as bronze is a tin and brass alloy but more expensive than regular brass
The valves are made from brass and copper mixed....but make an engine with a brass crankshaft con rods and pistons
Sounds like brass when you cut them.
Brass! A gold bar that size would be worth way into the millions! Plus gold is the softest of most metals
Brass, colour of the bar is not right for gold! Amazing video as always 💪💪💪
Melted Gold
That must be fool's gold! (iron sulfide/FeS2)
didnt even need to see past the casting to know thats a brass bar
Nordic gold I've had it on a lathe many of times.
And I had a brass bullet casing once before and when I scratched it it shine like metal so yeah when they leave this what they call Gold on this lady that looks like metal. Yeah it's definitely brass
I'd say it's bronze,brass is way to soft for that kind of stuff. Nice touch with the "gold" valves on that old engine. Old but gold😎
If you want a clean chip tray on a lathe, get someone to turn some gold.
Anyone else associate fond memories from the soundtrack in Ramsey's "Family"?
the
most money you guys have ever put into a ladda engine lol
The gas seal should be great but the soft valve stems might be a issue.
Well, whatever alloy that really is probably has better mechanical properties than pure gold.
It's brass next time use lash caps to protect valve stem where rocker pushes valve
THOSE ARE BRASS VALVES BRASS SPLITS WHEN IMPACTED AND WHY IT'S A GOOD HAMMER FOR NOT DAMAGING THINGS!
Make an upside down Lada engine. Like the Italian motorcycle. Put the oil pickup in the valve cover. I’d really love to see that. 😊
