lol. Thank you!
Aleksfoxtrot and you just made me almost feel bad for the engine, but it’s just an engine and doesn’t have any feelings, so i’m good.
That broke my heart
Surprisingly durable!
That was hard to watch.
Love how he precisely measures his engine destroying ingredients
Like Walt when he was mixing his graphite to burn off the door lock.
🤣🤣🤣
throw in 250 ml of boron nitride nanoparticles - see if it heals the engine!
So that's how Harley get's their motors to run like that.
They're just washing machines on spin cycle

You: .......nope.....
Lol
Patient had a DNR but the nursing home staff couldn't find it 🙄
I was crying laughing b4 the drill was used. The comment section I had a cramp in my side.
OMG.. ROFLMAO....
My exact thoughts...
Video idea:
Effects of running a cold engine hard immediately after starting it.
Yea if he could find an old car for cheap and just blow it up like that itd be dope
If it's cold enough out it will cold seize
I dont think it'll show much, this causes damage in the long run rather than after a few runs. Engine problems usually develop later on in their life when they've been run cold and hard a lot
@@Jake_Hynds maybe if it's running very watered down antifreeze (or straight water...amazingly, some people try). We had a few -40°F mornings here last winter, and my truck (2000 Ford 6.8l V10) only struggled to circulate the P/S fluid for a few seconds, causing it to stall once. It was running fresh 5w20 Amsoil Signature, and about 3 year old antifreeze.
@@joer5057 idk I only know of my old skidoo pretty long time ago I was young and just fired up my sled -30 degrees celcius == -22f
Fired it up it wasn't running to or idling very nice so just jumped on it and gave her tits lol .... bad idea as it cold seized in one cylinder.. didn't really seize but blew one cylinder and my dads freind help me rebuild it and knew exactly what I did and why it blew as you can tell by the metal..
Engine when he starts to open the head bolts
Ahh sh*t here we go again
lol
😂😂😂✨❤👍
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think, I mean I’m just putting it out there, but I think you may have voided the warranty, when you cut the engine in half.
I just looked at my lawnmowers engine warranty and it doesn't say anything about cutting it in half. So I think he's all good.
*Spit it out!*
Just slap some JB Weld on there, she'll be right

I literally laughed out loud when you started pouring sand into the engine! Wow that was awesome!!!
Thank you!
5:57 All those mowers in the background thinking to themselves 'Oh S#1t! One of US is next!!!'
You told me you wanted to borrow my mower to do a RUclips video. You told me my mower would be famous.
Kirk Johnson 😃😃😃 Everyone who reads your funny comment will smile.
Nothing is famous enough until it's dead. Mission accomplished!
.....and after this we didn't even get to see it's big-end..
That's the funniest coment I've seen in ages..Good job!
trust me sir...it indeed became famous....
On a positive note, sand is great at removing carbon build up :)
lol. Great point!
Water does a better job. Spray it through the carb while engine is working hard.
@@davidelliott5843 actually that works even better if you run antifreeze and vinegar with it

That is the best joke I have seen yet!
FUNNY THING IS THIS GUY IS MY DENTIST
@@davidmckay9552 he's a dentist?
Best punchline ever!
I would like to see you do this test again, but instead of dispensing the dirt directly down the carb with a spoon, throw it into a shop fan that's in front of the engine so the engine sucks in a more real-world dirty air. I'm curious if the dirt covering the cooling fins will change the engine's mode of failure, or if itt'l last a little longer that way.
Obviously itt'l still die, that's a given.
I'd also like to see you get a tach hooked up to one of these engines, bypass the governor, and show us just how fast these things can turn until they go Kerbal on us. I'm betting somewhere around 5500-6000RPM is when the rod lets go.
TestECull iget your post... 8000 is possible with mods... i think the channel mr midshipman modified a predator engine this way (predator= honda clone) its done for racing though....
I agree with this. I'd like to see the test repeated, but as a bunch of dirt and sand dispersed in a "cloud" such as by a fan, which would better simulate how it would typically happen in the real world. Probably won't straight out kill the engine, but even a loss of 5-10 PSI would be a fascinating test result and very informative for those who run engines of any kind without a filter.
This is a terrific idea! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I wanted to give you moar thumbs up for a Kerbal reference, but have moar boosters instead... Or struts... Your choice! :P
Good idea. If you wanna keep the mess semi contained, maybe set up the mower and fan inside an enclosed space... Airflow at the top to circulate oxygen, but fans around to create a cyclone of dust and dirt within the space.
richfiles, Great suggestions! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
It HURT MY HEART to watch you spoon that dirt in there, lol!! Always wondered what would actually happen tho....thank you! 🤣
God this is my favorite channel.
Thanks so much!
For the better half of this I was like,
Just let it die man! Stop this suffering!

I really appreciate what you're done in terms of educating of how important it is to dive in learning and finding facts for yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this. I would like to see if a badly damaged mower could be repaired”ish” with honing and new rings. I got sandy swamp water in the crank case of my 4 wheeler. I had it bored out replaced the piston with a new one to match the bore and it ran fine.
I'm impressed how much dirt that thing actually ate.
Bobby Patton Me too! I thought for sure it was dead the first time it stalled.
Thanks for watching the and commenting!
Can't believe it lasted as long as it did
Bobby Patton 😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
Same! It was just eating up that sand!
And in a very large amount at a time.

So sand cleans carbon off cylinder walls better than Seafoam :)
Chris, LOL! Yes indeed. Sand cleans everything off, including the cylinder walls! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Chris....hahaha, you've found the secret. Well done.
Sandblasting!
since when do people get carbon on cylinder walls
sand bore* lol
Put gasoline were the oil goes. Like if you wanna see that
Thanks for the recommendation.
@@ProjectFarm yah I wanna see if the gas will act as a lubricant or will it catch on fire
i think if he puts in DIESEL, it could be lubricate a bit! worth a test!
One of my grandkids did that to my mower when they went to do me a favor and mow the yard for me... luckily I caught it before I started my mower... looked like chocolate milk instead of oil.
@@ProjectFarm #runaway!
Love it, when I was in school we did a similar test in one of my classes, it was eye opening to say the least, great job!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making these very formative videos. You destroyed an engine so the rest of the world doesn’t have make these mistakes. Keep it up man! I really love your channel :)

Exactly my thoughts and that sand was too rough. He should have took sand dust instead
Not necessarily ; what about those wanting to take their ATV on the beach? If the carb/intake had no filter, that's exactly the type of sand that would go through the engine. *winces*
9:22 "To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this engine in half! Now that's a lot of damage!"
lol. Thank you!
under rated comment
You should do an air filter test! Different brands of air filters to show different amounts of damage, airflow, horsepower gain, etc. would be super neat and useful for my vehicles!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
and test pre filter foam pad placed in front of the filter. who has tried it ?
I SAWED THIS ENGINE IN HALF AND REPAIRED IT ONLY WITH FLEX TAPE!!!
Great recommendation! Here's the video on Flex: ruclips.net/video/aRXpfgik9XA/видео.html

for a short period of time
Lots of interesting stuff! I imagine your farm neighbors love watching you roar around in the camper and bikes and go-carts! With that said I do discover a lot of useful information. I know which battery to buy, which grease is best, what screw or nail holds best. Stuff we wouldn’t really fully know without your unbiased wizardly testings. A serious thank you from this old guy.
You are welcome!
Cant believe I missed this one for 3 years!! Another A++ Video man!!
Welcome back!
I dont have any filter on my car so I better keep an eye out for someone with a spoon and a jar of dirt.
LOL! Thanks for watching the and commenting!
davidgtrr34 lol I'm done bro 😭😂
Hhhh
I got a jar of diiirt ! I got a jar of ddiiiiiiiiirt!
Driving down the street, then out of the corner of your eye. "Ahh the sand spoon man!!!" 😂 I'm dead
Lol, just seeing a guy with a spoonful of dirt to dump in an engine is hilarious
Thank you!
Go to neutral drop they put tide, milk, cookies, nails, Cheerios you name it.
Meanwhile my car is at the repair shop, for being a dumb not putting an airfilter on my engine for a Year.
To show the power of FLEX SEAL, I sawed this ENGINE in half!!!
Now it’s time to use the best of all the products you’ve tested to repair it.
I learn more for u than any other RUclipsr. Definitely a fan and new subscriber.
Thanks Steve, I'll never let you borrow my mower again
lol
A+ comment
Dang, that was painful to watch that first spoonful go in, though it poised an interesting thought;
When you finally get up to the Pearly Gates, let's hope there's not a line of destroyed engines waiting for you expecting an explanation!
lol.
I would linke to see if "Engine Restore" oil can Help at this point of massive destruction.
This is meant to be seriously!!
"Small amount" lol you just put 4 spoons of sand and dirth 😂😂😂
lol. Thank you
I'm surprised one didn't kill it.
If this mans your neighbour don't lend him your mower !
LOL!
Or your Car! Lol
Wow. This is exactly what my ex-wife's car needs.
lol
Not if you are paying her alimony....
yeah
maybe ex girlfriend

Man that engine is tough. Just recently found your page and I'm going back through your videos and watching them. I think some of my shop customers have tried to reenact this test before bringing in their mower!
Thank you for the feedback!
now thats one way to sand blast your engine xD
New way to unseize an engine
did anyone else cringe super hard when he first poured that into the intake...
Jordan I cringed throughout the video. Lol
Y U P !
ya that was hard on me
Jordan I squeeked
it was like torture to an engine, you could sense the pain it was going threw
Wow! It’s very cool looking back at your RUclips progression and confidence behind the camera! Great work my friend!
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for making this video, for me incredibly interesting to see the result of massive air filter failure in an engine.
You are welcome!
I'd like to see oil that is much too thick or much too thin. Also oil way too full and close to empty.
802 Garage, These are absolutely terrific ideas! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
No problem. Thanks as always for the replies. The channel is genius so far.
802 Garage I've got a car engine that's been run with the oil light on (low oil). Really nice and loud with heaps of rod knock. Maybe I should make a video of it :-P
XD yep the oil light usually means basically 0 oil pressure. :P
It's done for.
802 Garage Of course lol. It was my house mates car and was driven for many kms like that. Then it "started to make this funny noise". I might dismantle it all and make furniture out of it
Unhook the governor and get a tack to see how high you can rev a mower engine
I want to see this
I’d guess this engine can tolerate a lot of crap due to the low RPM, but yeah I’d like to see a 6500RPM mower for giggles!
Lawnmower after being bought on Ebay: "yaay I get to spend my retirement on a farm "

Incredible the amount of precision in this kind of piece of equipement like the combustion chamber!
Thank you
I would also see you try to run a engine on moonshine or whiskey
Lance, great suggestion! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
White lightning or MD 20-20 as well. Maybe one these will clean an engine better than Seafoam? If nothing else, the traffic behind you will enjoy the fragarence from the tailpipe! Just as long as a Cop is not behind you!
Or try to run a engine on 100% seafoam
My cousin once ran a go-kart on Everclear. It definitely works.

One lawn mower for sale, comes with dewalt electric start! Oiled after every use! Only used it to cut the grass at the cottage near the sandy beaches! Come get it before it’s gone!
No low balls I know what I have. Lol
Dear projectfarm. Big fan of your videos. I keep hearing that GDI engines get their intake valves carboned up since the gasoline is injected directly into the cylinder as opposed to just before the intake valve. Would love to see the insides of well used GDIs compared to non GDIs. Keep the good videos coming! Cheers.
Engine:
Let my die..
Drill:
Not today my old friend
Thanks for watching.
Did you know that if you put a little bit of dirt in your engine overtime it will grow a tolerance for bigger dirt
This is just some good common sense.
I felt the pain of that engine. That was cruel.
Feels like I'm watching a SAW video for lawnmowers.
It's all in the name of SCIENCE
"Just let me die already, if you had any mercy"
Great video. Nice to see how much work you put into it.
Thank you very much!
Wow, was great to see this. Really got to take care and keep a good filter on our engines .
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching.
Your mower’s camber doesn’t look right
lol. It's a drift mower!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That thing was a sad excuse of a mower before this test even began. Lol
Another test I would LOVE to see is for you to overheat the engine severely by disabling the engine's cooling system perhaps by cutting the flywheel fins off to simulate a coolant loss. I predict severe ring and cylinder wall damage and maybe a warped head.
This is another GREAT idea! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
diy computer guy. I can tell you from the days I used to cut lawns for people when I was a kid air cools b &s engines are tough I over heated my mower from cutting deep grass at wot (I had a manual throttle no Governor for more power) once it cooled it fired back up they are pretty under stressed engines.
A DIY Computer Guy use a tecumseh, they blow up with a good cooling system lol happened a few times to me
1985Kx, I have a mower with a tecumseh that would be great for this test! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
fill the fins with a mouse nest, is enough to over heat the engine, it might expand the head enough for the hardend seats to drop out, stopping the engine
Great video. I learned so much. Thank you for what you do. Time well spent. Keep up the good work. Love your channel. 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Thanks!
tyvm for answering the question about power increase without air filters at the very beginning. You'd be surprised how many channels cant answer the question without rambling on well away from the question. thx again.
You are welcome!
I have not laughed so hard in a long time - both the video and comments are hilarious, thank you for lifting my spirits!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Spoon feeding the engine 🍴...next time give it a drink too lol
I feel the same!
I always wondered how they made metallic paint (9:08)
lol. Great point!
You mean great paint?
5:00 engine is ejaculating
They usually use mica or some other shiny mineral, but I guess this could work too.
Thank you for this video. My motorcycle recently shook off its air filter and in my ignorance I assumed it would be okay to run for a few days without the air filter. Boy am I thankful that that lawnmower gave it's life! Id be interested to see what could happen to an engine with too much, or not enough oil in it!
Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome video. Love that you cut the motor open and showed the scaring!
Thanks 👍
It would have been great to see if a product like engine restorer, BG EPR, or cerma engine treatment could bring back the compression in an engine that badly damaged.

I appreciate that!
What about hydro-locking an engine? Having the engine run at med to high rpm and pouring water into the carb. I had a 2.2L GMC Sonoma break 2 rods when it sucked water into the enigine.
Nathan, Great suggestion! This is a real-world possibility as you experienced! Thanks for watching the video and the great suggestion!
I don't think it gonna break a rod on a mower as the blade has not enough inertia to do this work
I've seens some engines blow the top of when they sucked in water.
That would be interesting :)
awesomefacepalm, Wow! This could be very interesting! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I think that a mower's engine will take quite a bit to get damaged from hydrolocking.
Dude your in depth examinations are amazing. Please continue, you have a monopoly on how much care you take with your tests. Thank you :)
