We may or may not have a 4 stroke quad for the next test subject 🤔 Let us know what we should do with it!
Make a wooden piston for the 4 stroke like a sawdust particleboard type idea 💡 idk 😄
A piston built from rcv and plastic....
So i know this wouldnt involve printing anything… but have a piston machined from a “billet” of marble or some other rock
Make one out of solder
Have a machine shop machine a mold and try to make your own casting from bronze or lead
Use the mold and fill it with JB WELD!!!!!!!!! JB WELD PISTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JB WELD !!!!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing!
this would be hilarious
Or superglue and baking soda
This.
Yes jb please lol
Make a piston out of a very hard wood It will for sure be a hoot
BRB ordering some Australian Buloke
Some Brazilian ipe
Ol' hickory otta do it 😂
Ironwood from Arizona, it is so dense it sinks in water like a rock!
Cap the piston with some sort of heat shield
This is some Garage 54 stuff, and I mean that in the absolute best way. Awesome.
Just came to say the same thing
I thought it was one of their videos when I first saw the thumbnail
@@everythingloud4068 same
@everythingloud4068Same 😂
Yup fr
A common trick I use to help with a low compression engine to see how it runs. I use some oil on the piston. Pour it down the spark plus take up extra ring spacing. Smoky but works
Can vouch, did it on my last built motor. Oil holds just enough to get that initial compression going.
We tried, it helped but wasn't quite enough
yeppers thats how I would always tell if I had a ring issue or a valve issue... ring issue id see great increase in compression.. valve issue id see minimal increase
You guys needed to do a polished concrete piston with sealer enamel on it. It would be beautiful and probably run for a spell.
you could try adding fiberglass fibers to the cement for strength. it also takes about a week for concrete to hit half strength and a month for full strength. I also think you'd be better off trying to cut the ring grooves rather than molding them
A fiberglass window screen would do a tolerable job if it were spiraled or soaked and wadded, then vibrated in the mold, I imagine.
Yeah and for maximum strenght the part should be cured under water or kept moist until the 1 month mark
EXACTLY! The comment said "reinforced concrete" not normal cheap stuff. They didn't even do the suggestion right. This needs to be redone correctly with a fiber-reinforced concrete such as Fibercrete.
Camera to Steve “I don’t know shit about concrete” that made my day you guys make great content lol
Steve has definitely been the star of both channels recently he deserves a raise
Young Stevie Tarantino 😂
Try hydraulic cement . Cures much faster,stronger, smoother, not permeable (waterproof), and no rocks. Lowe’s and hd both have it
I was going to suggest the same thing we use hydraulic cement to fix toilet flanges set up quick gets very hot super hard and durable
Doesn't matter if it ran for 4 seconds or if it ran for 4 hours. It ran with a concrete piston. Absolute champions.
Get a mold made so you can make a glass piston.
Temper it properly and it would last a surprisingly long time
They should talk to the rabbit hole. They have some pretty good glass blowers over there. It’s about 20 minutes from their shop.
@@jacobfoulds7618 Do you know someone there specifically? I'd have to figure out how to machine/grind it but it would be cool
@@Steve-sxsblogparts I’ll email you guys with the details
@@jacobfoulds7618 Do you know someone there? I'd be down to try it, I'd just need to figure out how to grind it
All the hands at once when putting the nuts on the head cracked me up! 😆
"If you learned something it's not a failure." - Guru Steve.
Steve try an epoxy piston
Epoxy and resin piston
This man out here doing REAL science.
RIP Thick44
Lol real science was making them out of light weight aluminum and realizing they last for thousands of hours.
This is literally going backwards.
My 10 year old saw this and said that wouldn't last at all.
I hugged him and told him how proud I was to have so much common sense at a young age like we did generations ago !!!
Try some type of "ironwood". I built a deck out of Ipe. Pain in the ass to work with. You have to pre drill every hole with special bits then buy non standard decking screws or both will just snap.
I love Steve he is the mad scientist of the Blog 😎👍
It was absolutely entertaining regardless! To see Steve’s Brian go to work is entertaining itself! Awesome group effort, can’t wait for the next insane idea you come up with!
Really great. Loved it. Back to screwing around like the early videos. Been a fan since the yz. This is great. I would love a 110 tee shirt about a concert piston.
Epoxy piston, steel, or brass wrist pin bushings, aluminum burn plate on the top. I wanna see how long you can get it to run like that!
Steve cool as hell nice first attempt. Fiberglass reinforcement in the concrete. You need stronger concrete and a lot longer cure time. 30 days minimum. Cut the ring grooves in with diamond saw. Polish head. Might be worth sealing concrete as well prior to running it. Possibly have a pro mix designer on the concrete. Box store is a mistake.
Love it!
love these kind of video's... what about porcelain? it looks fragile but sometimes can be very strong. Keep up the awesome vids men, cheers
Fill the same molds up with some two part epoxy or marine Tex
22:35 have you seen the mightycarmods video where they were applying grease like this, but feet also came into the frame xD
Concrete takes 28 days to cure but I love it anyways
Same. I did sorta feel like shouting at the screen the first few times they said cured instead of dried. Still cool, though.
Correct 7 days for 50% and 28 days for 100%. And many people believe the rock in concrete gives strength but its main purpose is to absorb heat
A little fibermesh 150 would have helped too. Not as much as actually waiting for it to cure but had they actually done so, the fibermesh instead of the lint trap or whatever would have been a big help
The rocks are mostly just to make it cheaper you'll hear that 95% of the time from the owners I've been laying concrete for 27 years now and I've heard them say that to the customers lmfao 😂@@allenrhodes
Depends on the pound you purchased
Outstanding! Plus you have made a self honing piston. Very cool Steven - wow you continue to amaze me.
Time for a glass molded piston!!!!
Jb weld piston!!! Or bondo piston!!!!!!! Jb bondo weld piston!!!!!!!! Killin it guys. Love watching this kind of stuff with you guys in your natural state 😆
hydraulic cement might be the ticket here!! love the videos thanks
stole the words out my mouth😂
A cast concrete piston lmfao, love the wacky ideas you guys have, always keeps me interested in the new videos, keep up with the wacky fun ideas guys!
You should try pouring a resin piston 🤷🏼
It’s been done
Garage 54 already done it
Wanna see these guys do a resin piston though
i love the effort and passion you guys put into these experiments. it really makes it entertaining. what if you casted your own piston out of melted down pop cans? or another guy mentioned a jb weld piston which would be awesome too😂
I'd like to smell a piston made out of jolly ranchers or butterscotch candies
It’s insane how much work went into making that piston 🤯 thanks for the awesome video guys! What a hoot
Maybe try making a piston with 3d printed ceramic, it can be hardened and can withstand high heat
The future of tensile, compressive, and hardness super materials 😉
if they do this they should oversize it a bit, because it will definitely shrink when kiln dried, and then cut it/sand it to proper dimensions very carefully
What about using your mold and pressure injecting gasket maker. Make a rubber piston.
Next title side by side vlogs shoots for world record with 2jz swapped RZR running concrete pistons
14:51 I’m thinking you should’ve cut the mold away with a hacksaw or bandsaw to minimize the shock of breaking the mold.
My thoughts were, if it couldn't survive demolding it definitely couldn't survive an engine
@@Steve-sxsblogparts gotcha. It was fun to watch anyway
Even tho it’d didn’t work was still a good video
you got to try Ceramic. Its easier to cast and its strong and can withstand the heat!!
Be cool to see if making the whole piston out of jb weld would be the move.. lol
Jb weld is kinda fragile. It will crack fairly easily.
Steve is the man.
It was a good idea while it lasted. KEEP TRYING. Make the outside of the piston real smooth with a concrete sealer
Had me impressed at the 3 piece 3D printed moulding. Seriously impressive.
Keep this cool science stuff coming!!!!
im on JB weld train.
but on side note the concrete need 4 weeks to harden.
so pull from mold wrap in a wet rag. and re-wet rag daily.
What about an epoxy piston hi PSI with standing high temperature epoxy would be something to see
i feel like epoxy would actually last for a little bit.
Try making a piston out of hdpe (high density polyethylene) it's used in low pressure gas piping so it can handle some heat and friction
You guys walked right past the 10000 Quikrete 😂
I love this it’s like myth busters but better 😂
You should try a polished peace of marble!!!/ next best thing to concrete.
It's all aboat having fun! Entertaining.
You should make one out of melted down lead you could do it pretty cheap with old wheel weights
Garage 54 already done it and tons more.
love this kind of content
Love these experiments!
Now, make a transparent reinforced resin piston :D
I started laughing before I even clicked on the video 😂
Awesome effort for sure. Love the science videos. Steve seems pretty inteligent 🇺🇲
I still would really like to see a 3D printed jug!
Camden Bowden has been making a 3D printed gas engine series for a while, a fully 3D printed cylinder doesn’t seal enough but an acrylic or metal pipe works
@@jetpackjbd thanks for the info! I am gonna check him out!
Next piston should be made of hard granite, tools required are a CNC, diamond tool bits and plenty of flowing cutting fluid, make sure there's no fracture around the gudgeon pin area
Epoxy piston
I was just about to comment that
I think you should try ceramic piston, it works for high performance brakes
No this is the main channel boys.
Sawdust and water frozen is very strong , freeze a slug machine it keep it cold throw it in try to start it before it melts .
26:47 everyones face watching this whole video
Thanks for the laughs! This channel has really gone to another level with the revival. Keep up the great work guys.
Make a piston out of WOOD. I bet it’s last way longer than the plastic one
I would like to see some experiments with different materials for the wrist pin like pvc pipe or a wood dowel rod. Great videos keep up the work
Think good ol’ JB weld might have been the ticket for the rings.
I just snapped a ring rebuilding a weedwacker, I used JB weld to fill in the spots. Interested to see how long that lasts if it runs at all
@@jetpackjbd lol it’s gotten me out of a couple binds.. good chance it might will work well for you.
great job guys! loved it.
Next make a ceramic piston clay into the mold and then kiln dry.
You should try K15 floor leveler no rocks hard as steel when cured
Why not cast an aluminum piston out of recycled cans or old engine parts? You could use the rest of the concrete for the mold.
Use prime n bond it like concrete but it use silicon to hold it together
He's actually accurate and everything he's doing slush casting is where you rotate your cast to make a thin layer around the interior then you build up layer by layer. Add vibrations to reduce bubble accumulation.
That thing crushed like ocean gate.
2 part epoxy and sawdust makes a really strong material
I would love to help you with projects as a local Michigan, aerospace/defense tooling designer. I can show you a lot of the tools and R&D stuff done in the past.
I appreciate the offer. Sometimes the haphazard DIY approach is half the fun though
@@Steve-sxsblogparts believe me I know, this is more of a point of contact for industry needs but I’d share knowledge to y’all for free 😂😂
That was cool. I’ve enjoyed all the videos. Keep up the great work 💪
This channel is hilarious. Next try straight Gorrilla glue let it dry completely lol
31:54 jumpscared me bc i was listening on my headphones on 100% volume and my ears are hurting
When your all out of crazy piston ideas make this a electric quad
Bought the power bundle, an the 110 bundle. Videos are great
Stop lying
“Hydration” is the chemical reaction Matt.
Just an idea have you guys tried putting like some kind of a concrete excellent Uber top of the whole pis time after you put the ring in there maybe that would help seal it up
Concrete would not likely make good breakfast cereal either.
On next week’s episode of 110 Garage…
What about submerging a dry/cured block of Concrete in Resin then machining that into a piston?
Poor man's big/over bore with MRP powder coated stock piston
Sandblast and HVOC thermal carbide coat the piston. I can coat it and turn it to exact size
Piston out of reenforced Bondo
2:50 Sorry, my brothers, but you're lookin' like loss prevention instantly gonna start tailing you 😆
What about epoxy?
Actually try lava rock or anything natural and hard, have it milled like billit, you may have to use waterjet??? IDK if it is even close to possible but the journey is the adventure!!
"I Don't Know Sh!t About Concrete"
Make one out of clear table top apoxy would be cool . Be a clear light piston
Make a piston out of glass
It will break
The HD concrete conversation was great.
Diamond piston 💎
i was trying to think of ideas for you. making a fiberglass piston maybe...but i think itd be similar to the 3d one. 🤔 however. maybe making one of denim? ive seen some other stuff being made of that recently. another thought. maybe try a plastic piston again. but try and make the top of the piston out of carbonfiber. or try to make carbon fiber piston. also maybe a wood piston.
