    Nice job…. I owned a Chevrolet truck that had a gas engine converted to diesel. It was actually pretty tough. We abused it on a daily basis since it was only a farm runner. Used 90 weight gear lube for engine oil. We would take it into town and run a hose into the throttle body. Then dump tranny fluid in and smoke out the town. Even sunk it in a creek once. Pumped it out, primed the engine and fired it back up. Lol
    It never laid down in the 10 years we had it. Ended up trading it for a Winchester model 70. Far as I know the guy still has it and drives it from time to time.

      Its not going to be a mile off the original Lada specs. Its using the same fuel, similar compression, the same carb settings - its just a larger engine so will do its thing at lower rpm. If its vacuum based advance that means it should match the carb and run close enough because its reference points are the same.

    This episode belongs in a completely different class than most of what I've seen here before, in my opinion. Yes, the amount of precision and planning that went into this conversion is of course impressive, but any mechanic will tell you what they did is theoretically possible, and many (myself included) might believe they could do it themselves. But as we all understand, KNOWING is different than DOING. The young man who took over for Vlad is very knowledgeable and technically creative. I have no doubt it started on the first try.

      @@kaihlis I don't think this engine could be started without a flywheel. On this engine (and almost every car engines) the starter motor rotates the flywheel, which is bolted to the crankshaft. A small starter motor couldn't turn a four cylinder engine's crankshaft, maybe just 'til the first compression stroke.
      The starter motor has a small gear, while the flywheel is basically a larger gear. The gear ratio between the small and the larger gear makes the starter to be able to turn the crankshaft around, so the engine can start.
      It seems you know all these, although it's cringy that many viewers don't have any clue about it. This channel isn't for car enthusiasts, at least I think so, it's only for entertaining young guys with some technical bounds.

    This was a common practice in Argentina. The Ford Falcon had a 3.0lts 6 cilynder engine, that was so robust, that you can turn that gasoline engine into a diesel one, you had to modify the intake to fit a diesel bomb, brush down the head of the engine to get the compression up, and change the spark plugs for pre heating ones, and then you are done, it's was really simple. My grandpa had one that he modified himself, and told me the entire process, but I recall this much from that, he said it was easy, and a common practice too.

    I can't remember which American car company it was, but they made a 5.0L engine that could be made as diesel or gasoline, depending on what parts they used at the factory. Though from what I hear, it wasn't good at either job, and got discontinued after a few years.

      In the old days they had an ignition system and dual fuel rails to start some of the bigger diesels, it would fire on the gasoline until it built compression, then the operator would close the compression lever, cutting off the gasoline and ignition, and then shunting in diesel. Guess it worked for awhile but they dont do it anymore i dont believe .

    • @svetko05
      @svetko05 3 года назад +11

      Might work but it will be very inefficient. Diesels have long stroke, while most gasoline engines don't. Thats why they make more torque and can achieve higher compression.
