I agree I've been an engine mechanic building hard Rock engines 6 cylinders and V8 for about 55 years and definitely those rods could take a lot more being pushed down and pulled apart
The velocity of the pistons will exaggerate the strain that the connecting rods have to endure, meaning that it will have to reliably support upwards of 10,000kg in extreme instances
Depending on the revs the engine is doing the tensile stresses of a rod can be significantly higher than the compressive forces. On a Diesel the compressive forces are definitely stronger under compression than under tension due to the low revs, high compression ratios and high reciprocating mass, while it's usually the opposite for most petrol engines.
They absolutley ARE The rod is naturally MUCH stronger in compression - its the weakest in tension when its trying to throw the piston off the rod at the end of the exhaust / beginning intake stroke at maximum RPM. This is why the diesel rod is so badly - it never has to rev very high, yet it experiences a much higher compression ratio and combustion pressures than the petrol - this is why diesel engines are cast iron. Quote "The 5.2-liter V10 that debuted in the 2009 Audi R8 has the highest mean piston speed for any production car (26.9 m/s) " " high speed diesel ~14-17 m/s for automobile engines"
@@tomast9034 I am not sure what you mean, do you mind explaining? I don't see how there are any gasses helping to offset the inertial force when the piston goes past TDC during the exhaust / intake stroke transition?
The piston rods were all fine and survived fully intact: it was the big end clamp bolts that all broke so really this test is completely inconclusive in virtually every regard!
How so? There's one little end failure and rod bolts failing is a thing, especially on modified or higher rpm engines! Often a bearing failure is the cause or even a money shift! strong bolts save block's!
This shows exaclt why the main thing is piston rods is a bolt upgrade. Even when you upgrade to aftermarket rods, the bolts in the main caps are critical. The rod is made to be placed under tremendous load during the power stroke, the bolts hoding the cap on the rod are loaded when the piston/rod assy hits the top of the stroke and there is a near immediate change in direction. The forces are gigantic on the bolts because the piston/rods assy has kinetic energy in one direction then it pulled in the opposite direction.
Compression doesn't cause rods to fail Tension does as it rapidly accelerates the piston downward the rod bolts fail in most engine failures. Good video
THANK YOU!!!!! i was waiting for someone to say this before i had to, which i hate having to do because then i add the fact that i am a former materials testing engineer lol
I really liked this video. The connecting rods are subjected to compressive stress (due to the pressure peak after combustion) but also to bending and tensile stress (due to the piston's inertia at top dead center between exhaust and intake strokes). Therefore, the video makes sense and shows the tensile failure of the connecting rod, so well done. However, it's important to note that the strongest connecting rod isn't necessarily the best one. A connecting rod must withstand the loads while being as light as possible, meaning using less material (less material translates to less resistance). Engineers therefore don't seek a very strong but heavy connecting rod, but rather one that is just strong enough and as light as possible
This video demonstrates the tensile strength of the metal used from era to era. Stop comparing it to the actual job of a connecting rod. Just like a valve spring working in conjunction with other valve springs through the cam to ease the seat pressure stress, the bob-weights of the crank ease the stress from one connecting rod to the other during the cycle, as does the force from each cylinder. No one connecting rod handles it’s load on its own, it is being assisted by the other cylinders. This is the importance of balancing an engine.
I’ve been an engine rebuilder, among many other things, for 25 years now and I can tell you this is a good video of the wrong testing, connecting rods are under compression pressure most of the time, that is why this test is only checking the tensile strength of the metal in the wrong direction. Compress the connecting rod to see when it fails, that would be the video to make. If you notice in some of the tests the connecting rod doesn’t break, the bolts at the connecting rod bearing cap breaks first which is what they’re designed to do in case of a seized piston or crankshaft failure.
For those saying tension isn't relevant, you're wrong. Tension occurs when the piston is at top of the exhaust stroke. Compression is also interesting, especially for engines that are boosted.
Отличный тест!!! Многие пишутчто шатун расчитан справляться с жатием , но при этом забывают что шатуну нужно бороться или выдерживать силу которая действует на его растяжение. Сила эта возникает когда точка вмт достигнута, шатун должен остановить поршень который также двигался в сторону вмт. В точке вмт происходит моментальная остановка поршня который в этот момент имеет определенную массу- которая упрощенно складывается из веса- поршень, поршневой палец, кольца +направление и скорость его движения. Если еще проще то шатун в точке вмт моментально останавливает поршень который уже имеет огромную массу , ещё в этот момент остановки поршня, шатун уже начинает обратное ускоряемое движение относительно движения поршня что ещё больше действует на растяжение шатуна. Это в кратце)
Ну да, ну да. И сравни с силой, которая будет через мнгновение давить на поршень и пихать его в НМТ. Там разница как слон и моська. По этому, проверять надо на сжатие. Что и говорят зрители. А так он тупо проверяет болты на разрыв, а не шатун.

Schade das nicht die Gewichte der jeweiligen Pleuel angegeben wurden sind. Es geht ja bekannter Art und Weise um die Gewichtsoptimierung der beweglichen Komponenten.

Used to make forged connecting rods for GM, Dodge, Ford, Honda. We used to do crush and strength tests on them a few times daily. They would frequently fail, not by a lot, but they’d fall outside the minimum spec, they shipped them anyway. That’s pretty par for the course in the automotive industry
Excess weight reduces power and increases fuel consumption, OR it induces unnecessary cost. Manufacturing processes are much more consistent these days (unless you’re just making down to the lowest cost). The only problem here would be if the test limit was set inappropriately low. Is that what you’re getting at?
The largest stress on the rod is stopping the piston on its way up the exhaust stroke and starting the piston back down the intake stroke. If compression was the big issue, rod bolts/screws wouldn't be a big deal to worry about. Not saying compression from power stroke is nothing, but the exhaust crossover is the highest load on the rod. BTW, you can't stretch the bolts/screws without stretching the rod.
Still a good representation of the rods ultimate strength. Maybe you can rig up some shit and demonstrate your ideas and make a video and show everyone how it's done. I'll watch it.....
just shows they went with "better to much material, than having an early failure" cuz they hadnt the right alloys, precise calculatings and numbers nor the know how and all back then, like they got today.
The old steel ones, practically indestructible, weigh much more than the aluminum ones used in competition, or with alloy, which are the ones used today in consumer cars. The advantages of reducing weight in the connecting rod are less vibration and energy efficiency.
For the people that thinks that the rods are designed to resist only to the compression phase, you are totally wrong, they also have to resist to the cross valve phase after exhaust when there's no compression, the piston pulls the rod upwards with it's inertia while the crankshaft pulls it down with it's cinetic power, this is the moment that they break at high rpm's also breaking the side of the engine block where the rod touches inside the cylinder. Obviously is not the same forces as this hydraulic machine puts on the rods, considering the engine from factory on normal conditions. It's just a simulation that can break the majority of the rods existent on the market. For instance, on the compression or combustion phases, the rods can bend in case of hydraulic lock on the piston, caused by water of the radiator that can mixture with the engine oil in case of head gasket failure and other reasons.
@@billbailey55 I guess it's dificult to this ocurring to the VW aircooled since it's an over squared engine, also the heads would overheat and crack in the high rpm's before any rods failure but it can happen to any engine, depends on many factors.
Without the mixture being ignited, you have tensile forces and compressive forces in the same ratio. Tensile force at top dead center and compressive force at bottom dead center. When the mixture is ignited, the forces resulting from the speed alone are added to the compressive forces from the combustion of the mixture. So, logically, the compressive forces are always higher.
Allora se vokete fare la prova per resisyenza alla forza angolare dei giri motore dovevate pesare le bielle indicare con che metallo fatte e comunque la prova vera sarebbe meglio in compressione
- To make test fair, it have to be connecting rods that never have been installed in an engine. (especially metal fatigue on bolts and Wrist pin end) * bolts holding crankshaft bearing have to be the same hardening (etc. 8.8) * connecting rods were stronger and heavier before (Cast iron), * now they are lighter, not common with cast iron. (usealy iron steel alloys like 42CrMo4, 43CrMo4, 44csr4, C-70, EN-8D, SAE1141, etc.)
You can tell the more modern conrods from the older ones by the clam shell break. The old ones are ground but modern big ends are fractured as it’s better and no grinding or machining needed on the two half joint points.
Interesting that in most cases the bolts broke. There was one comment about the process of pulling apart but the comment was about compression on the rod. A connecting rod goes through multiple cycles of being under compression and lateral expansion and in between as it changes direction in a 4 cycle engine. Federal Mogul has graft charts showing the rotational stresses on their engine bearings . It’s quite amazing all the different stress put on rods , pistons, crankshafts during each degree on engine rotation. Sometimes I wonder how in the hell they actually stay together in the first place 🤔🤪😂👍
It seems that most engineers and nonengineers forget about the force of inertia. If it wasnt a factor one should be able to use any old bolt to clamp the bigend bearing. The piston has weight that needs to be held on to the conrod on the strokes when compresion doesnt take place. It is a fourstroke engine right?
weight of each would be interesting to know (although bore/stroke length plays its role). The old BMW fourcylinders are famous for a reason..How about a Volvo red-block fourcylinder test?
Cool experiment. Though rods are more stronger being pushed. Now to compare the old ones, the older rods are more thicker and heavier, but due to today's advancements in metallurgy, we can manufacture smaller and lighter rods that more or less exceeds the strength of the old thicker rods. Perhaps you can try to test it by pushing the rods next time?
This test is not valid. These parts, inside the engine, are just applied to traction during the air admission. The correct test would be the compression testing emulating when the expansion inside the cylinder happens.
Lot's of engineers.. Lot's of Comments. This is just another test - tension. These rods are under dynamic loading i.e tension and compression 2000, 5000 cycles per minute. Fatique could be more important than static loading. In addition the connecting rod connects to the piston, so the weight of the piston is really important (especially when high revs and high acceleration at TDC - Top Dead Centre). If combined with the explosion that pushes the piston down (DIFFERENT COMPRESSION RATIOS FOR DIESEL AND PETROL ENGINES) then you understand that there are are many other things to consider (CRANKSHAFT, LUBRIACATION, BEARINGS) as well as momentum (the heavier the rod creates more stress to the whole system) . Therefore this is just one of the tests but the there could be 100s of test to check regarding an engine - which a dynamic system , works at different revs, temperatures, lubrication , compression ratios etc
I wonder if there's a benefit to having weaker bolts. Perhaps under unusual stress a weak bolt takes the deformation rather than the piston rod. So the bolts act as the sacrificial part. Cheaper to fix than replacing the rod. Idk, but in most machinery, if it's going to break, you'd prefer certain parts to break first rather than others.
Once the bolt goes the conrod is going to get jammed up somewhere and most proablly go through the side of the block. Replacing the con rod after that is the least of the owners worries
If one bolt fails, the rod will not ever survive it. Other likely collateral damage often includes block, head, piston, crankshaft, and valves. It all has to survive, or it can all be "sacrificial parts".
Many screws broke. Furthermore, cars back then had more metal, still didn't last longer. Look at the performance today, a VW TDI makes 600,000 km, back then a Golf Diesel was finished with 150,000 max.
Rods resist compression very well, and they resist extension much worse. Both of the forces act on the rods and accordingly during engine work, the forces are strong during in compression and weaker for tension. Reality is that rod is designed in optimal way for both of directions and if the design was good (no exaggerated or inadequate strength in any direction) then usually has equal chance to fail in both of them.
As expected that diesel rod didn't do too well for stretch but the x trail did surprisingly well! Compression test next? Id bet on the 1500 or tdi rod not bending 1st!
*EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE IN COMPRESSION* here are the facts: The rod is naturally MUCH stronger in compression - its the weakest in tension when its trying to throw the piston off the rod at the end of the exhaust / beginning intake stroke at maximum RPM. This is why the diesel rod does so badly - it never has to rev very high, yet it experiences a much higher compression ratio and combustion pressures than the petrol - this is why diesel engines are cast iron. Quote "The 5.2-liter V10 that debuted in the 2009 Audi R8 has the highest mean piston speed for any production car (26.9 m/s) " " high speed diesel ~14-17 m/s for automobile engines" CON RODS main failure is in TENSION, a compression failure usually occurs when hydraulic-ed or when the timing is advanced too much .
Honestly, the xtrail really impressed me. Everyone knows BMW engines are tough. But this nissan rod looks pretty weak, but it does the job. Good job, man.
no wonder the rod won which came from an engine that helped Gerhard Berger achieve his first F1 race win in Mexico 1986 where it ran at about 1450 HP during qualifying trim (afterwards, it literally fell apart.)
Thats an interesting test, but you should be testing for compressive force if you want to simulate the stress inside of an engine(torque), but those results give already some idea on how strong they are and if they can rev high.
Funny the comment about "compression" getting all the comments. True that is a consideration but not nearly as critical as big end stiffness and holding it's shape which is right up there with "stretch" and fastener failure, which seems to be the most common here. Con rods almost never fail under compressive forces. It's the ability to resist the centripetal force under high RPM and the ability of the rod cap to hold it's shape under that stress that determines when the bearings will fail or the rod will break. If the rod journal stretches out of round it will destroy the bearing in it and if the fastener fails... well we all know what happens then.
That was pretty cool. Should try a lateral force next time. See how strong they are pressing the I beam. That’s where I’ve seen alot of them fail. Right above the big end. And bolts breaking are the two most common failures I’ve seen.
Plus za pracę w teście, ale sam test nic nie wnosi, jedynie jakie są mocne materiały wykorzystywane jako zawiesia. Ale duży plus bo przygotowanie takiego testu to dużo pracy czasu i pieniędzy 👍👍👍👍
I disagree with most of comments . Most connecting rod failures come from small end of rod and piston pin seizing up. Think about it compression puts no stress on rod bolts. On the other hand high RPM will stress rod bolts and the rod beam. It is all a simple equation of material strength and force loads when trying to pull piston back down from TDC.
As anyone said, compression is the stress factor we are interested in. But there's more: any claim should be backed by a statistical analysis on multiple samples, as companies do in their production lines. Testing single samples doesn't take to any sound reasoning.
It would be nice to see the rods strenght in compression as well. In a high Rpm NA enginge, the pulling forces will be the limitating factor of the rods, but in high hp(high torque) it will be the compressing force that limits the rods. Its not as black and white as you can read in all the "expert comments here". A big trapetzodial shape as the M3 rods have will be the strongest in compressing forces.
So impressive and interesting, thanks a million. However, what I noticed is that the rods fail mainly from bolt fracture. I am not sure but the tensile test seems to me that it is stressing the bolt/bolt heads.
Would it be an idea to re-test another m5 rod because when you went for the second run, the rod may have been seriously weakened with the 12 ton first run where the anchor broke, just something I thought as I was watching, epic video 🤘😎
There are some tensile loads that need to be accommodated in the design, as the piston is slowed down as it approaches TDC. One of the factors determining this load is RPM. There seems to be a correlation between peak RPM and bolt UTS (good design ?). I’d love to see fracture analysis after failure here. Why did the components fail at crack initiation? Materials or manufacturing processes? Thanks for your work, very interesting as always.

a serious test would be a twist test... to see the benefits of 60 years of engineering regarding the starting points of all true connecting rod failures: micro-cracks and material defects. Plus a balancing test related to the mass.
From an engineer. This test show's the a little bit the capability for high rpms where traction is a more common problem. But you must compare a special amount of traction in combination with the structural integrity. So no deformation. That's what the crankshaft and road is Killing. So the best testing value is nothing if you have lot's of deformation..

How so? There's one little end failure and rod bolts failing is a thing, especially on modified or higher rpm engines! Often a bearing failure is the cause or even a money shift! strong bolts save block's!
This shows exaclt why the main thing is piston rods is a bolt upgrade. Even when you upgrade to aftermarket rods, the bolts in the main caps are critical. The rod is made to be placed under tremendous load during the power stroke, the bolts hoding the cap on the rod are loaded when the piston/rod assy hits the top of the stroke and there is a near immediate change in direction. The forces are gigantic on the bolts because the piston/rods assy has kinetic energy in one direction then it pulled in the opposite direction.

CON RODS ARE DESIGNED TO SURVIVE COMPRESSION,LOAD NOT TENSILE LOAD
wrong
Yes but Tensile Load is also applied.
What happens when a 2 pound piston traveling upward at 26.9 m/s makes a sudden stop at TDC and reverses direction? A massive tensile load.
I d say both
No no, the tensile force can be higher at high rev than the compression force!
Compression doesn't cause rods to fail Tension does as it rapidly accelerates the piston downward the rod bolts fail in most engine failures. Good video
THANK YOU!!!!! i was waiting for someone to say this before i had to, which i hate having to do because then i add the fact that i am a former materials testing engineer lol
I really liked this video. The connecting rods are subjected to compressive stress (due to the pressure peak after combustion) but also to bending and tensile stress (due to the piston's inertia at top dead center between exhaust and intake strokes). Therefore, the video makes sense and shows the tensile failure of the connecting rod, so well done. However, it's important to note that the strongest connecting rod isn't necessarily the best one. A connecting rod must withstand the loads while being as light as possible, meaning using less material (less material translates to less resistance). Engineers therefore don't seek a very strong but heavy connecting rod, but rather one that is just strong enough and as light as possible
This video demonstrates the tensile strength of the metal used from era to era. Stop comparing it to the actual job of a connecting rod. Just like a valve spring working in conjunction with other valve springs through the cam to ease the seat pressure stress, the bob-weights of the crank ease the stress from one connecting rod to the other during the cycle, as does the force from each cylinder. No one connecting rod handles it’s load on its own, it is being assisted by the other cylinders. This is the importance of balancing an engine.
Genuinely one of the most tense videos I've ever watched.
Ahh! You killed me🤣😂
I’ve been an engine rebuilder, among many other things, for 25 years now and I can tell you this is a good video of the wrong testing, connecting rods are under compression pressure most of the time, that is why this test is only checking the tensile strength of the metal in the wrong direction. Compress the connecting rod to see when it fails, that would be the video to make. If you notice in some of the tests the connecting rod doesn’t break, the bolts at the connecting rod bearing cap breaks first which is what they’re designed to do in case of a seized piston or crankshaft failure.
Una lastima que no lo hagas a compresión, ya que es la fuerza que soporta en su uso
anyway, newer engines, more and more relaxed engines 🤧, 😆😅 euro standard that destroys engines,,,,🤣
Ему бы тупо не хватило мощности пресса - сломать шатун на сжатие.
For those saying tension isn't relevant, you're wrong. Tension occurs when the piston is at top of the exhaust stroke. Compression is also interesting, especially for engines that are boosted.

Отличный тест!!! Многие пишутчто шатун расчитан справляться с жатием , но при этом забывают что шатуну нужно бороться или выдерживать силу которая действует на его растяжение. Сила эта возникает когда точка вмт достигнута, шатун должен остановить поршень который также двигался в сторону вмт. В точке вмт происходит моментальная остановка поршня который в этот момент имеет определенную массу- которая упрощенно складывается из веса- поршень, поршневой палец, кольца +направление и скорость его движения. Если еще проще то шатун в точке вмт моментально останавливает поршень который уже имеет огромную массу , ещё в этот момент остановки поршня, шатун уже начинает обратное ускоряемое движение относительно движения поршня что ещё больше действует на растяжение шатуна.

Used to make forged connecting rods for GM, Dodge, Ford, Honda. We used to do crush and strength tests on them a few times daily. They would frequently fail, not by a lot, but they’d fall outside the minimum spec, they shipped them anyway. That’s pretty par for the course in the automotive industry
Excess weight reduces power and increases fuel consumption, OR it induces unnecessary cost. Manufacturing processes are much more consistent these days (unless you’re just making down to the lowest cost). The only problem here would be if the test limit was set inappropriately low. Is that what you’re getting at?
The stress on a connecting rods is PUSHING from top to the bottom, this video is totaly useless. As said you stretch bolts, not connecting rods....
The largest stress on the rod is stopping the piston on its way up the exhaust stroke and starting the piston back down the intake stroke. If compression was the big issue, rod bolts/screws wouldn't be a big deal to worry about.
Not saying compression from power stroke is nothing, but the exhaust crossover is the highest load on the rod.
BTW, you can't stretch the bolts/screws without stretching the rod.
Are ya mad?
Still a good representation of the rods ultimate strength. Maybe you can rig up some shit and demonstrate your ideas and make a video and show everyone how it's done. I'll watch it.....
Why do you think engines have RPM redlines? The enertia of the piston at the end of the exhast stroke is trying to pull the rod apart.
I would have liked to see both
I was wondering about the 1960's engineers achieving such incredible massive force💪
RESPECT😂
It's steel that weighs twice as heavy as the others.
It’s just wasted weight. The older designs were more conservative with their load factors and were much heavier as a result.
just shows they went with "better to much material, than having an early failure" cuz they hadnt the right alloys, precise calculatings and numbers nor the know how and all back then, like they got today.
@@Hobby_trails_familyIt also lasts twice as long. That's why we get cheap crap nowadays so we buy a new car faster.
The old steel ones, practically indestructible, weigh much more than the aluminum ones used in competition, or with alloy, which are the ones used today in consumer cars. The advantages of reducing weight in the connecting rod are less vibration and energy efficiency.
M3, M5, 850 were not a surprised, those are performance models with forged internals bit 1500 is a typical family sedan, was a complete surprise… 😮

Nearly useless.
For the people that thinks that the rods are designed to resist only to the compression phase, you are totally wrong, they also have to resist to the cross valve phase after exhaust when there's no compression, the piston pulls the rod upwards with it's inertia while the crankshaft pulls it down with it's cinetic power, this is the moment that they break at high rpm's also breaking the side of the engine block where the rod touches inside the cylinder. Obviously is not the same forces as this hydraulic machine puts on the rods, considering the engine from factory on normal conditions. It's just a simulation that can break the majority of the rods existent on the market.
For instance, on the compression or combustion phases, the rods can bend in case of hydraulic lock on the piston, caused by water of the radiator that can mixture with the engine oil in case of head gasket failure and other reasons.
I knew someone that used to drag race a VW Beetle years ago and he turned so many RPM the rods would stretch till the pistons hit the heads
@@billbailey55 I guess it's dificult to this ocurring to the VW aircooled since it's an over squared engine, also the heads would overheat and crack in the high rpm's before any rods failure but it can happen to any engine, depends on many factors.
Yep. The piston literally stops at dwell
@@billbailey55 Ive seen that spinning a SBC to 10k rpm. Clean spots on the piston tops and heads from the rod stretch.
Without the mixture being ignited, you have tensile forces and compressive forces in the same ratio. Tensile force at top dead center and compressive force at bottom dead center. When the mixture is ignited, the forces resulting from the speed alone are added to the compressive forces from the combustion of the mixture. So, logically, the compressive forces are always higher.
Yes Conrods are made for compression. This test means NOTHING 🤬
Calm down Partner
Yes, it does; high rpm sustainability

@@robertoarezzo4809 please in English?
But you still watching 😂
- To make test fair, it have to be connecting rods that never have been installed in an engine.
(especially metal fatigue on bolts and Wrist pin end)
* bolts holding crankshaft bearing have to be the same hardening (etc. 8.8)
* connecting rods were stronger and heavier before (Cast iron),
* now they are lighter, not common with cast iron.
(usealy iron steel alloys like 42CrMo4, 43CrMo4, 44csr4, C-70, EN-8D, SAE1141, etc.)
Moral of the story is, " Do not put your piston rods in a hydraulic press"!
Lol
No wonder the the old BMW motor was able to take 1400HP in F1.

You can tell the more modern conrods from the older ones by the clam shell break. The old ones are ground but modern big ends are fractured as it’s better and no grinding or machining needed on the two half joint points.
Interesting that in most cases the bolts broke. There was one comment about the process of pulling apart but the comment was about compression on the rod. A connecting rod goes through multiple cycles of being under compression and lateral expansion and in between as it changes direction in a 4 cycle engine. Federal Mogul has graft charts showing the rotational stresses on their engine bearings . It’s quite amazing all the different stress put on rods , pistons, crankshafts during each degree on engine rotation. Sometimes I wonder how in the hell they actually stay together in the first place 🤔🤪😂👍
The highest tensile force is at TDC on the exhaust stroke. It is tensile force that usually causes breakage during high rpm.
This test makes no sense: connecting rods are not sized for traction but are designed for compression and buckling.
Traction?
It seems that most engineers and nonengineers forget about the force of inertia. If it wasnt a factor one should be able to use any old bolt to clamp the bigend bearing. The piston has weight that needs to be held on to the conrod on the strokes when compresion doesnt take place. It is a fourstroke engine right?
weight of each would be interesting to know (although bore/stroke length plays its role). The old BMW fourcylinders are famous for a reason..How about a Volvo red-block fourcylinder test?
Cool experiment. Though rods are more stronger being pushed. Now to compare the old ones, the older rods are more thicker and heavier, but due to today's advancements in metallurgy, we can manufacture smaller and lighter rods that more or less exceeds the strength of the old thicker rods. Perhaps you can try to test it by pushing the rods next time?
I guess those old timers are right when they say “They don’t make’’em like they used to!”
the concept of making business more profitable is not to make parts indestructible, but rather make them fit for purpose, reduce waste of material
This test is not valid. These parts, inside the engine, are just applied to traction during the air admission. The correct test would be the compression testing emulating when the expansion inside the cylinder happens.
Lol. Nope..
You forgot that an engine has 3 or more pistons traveling at opposite directions
That Nissan rod is amazing. Such a light, low inertia slim design, but yet so strong. Comes to show the level of quality of japanese cars.
That M5 rod says S85 on it. Thats the E60's 5.0L V10. The F90 has the S63TU4, 4.4L Twin Turbo V8.
It's the wrong shape for a start.....

There is no doubt that the quality of metal in olden days is much better!

@@gentle285 Well, it is a Nissan...
Lot's of engineers.. Lot's of Comments. This is just another test - tension. These rods are under dynamic loading i.e tension and compression 2000, 5000 cycles per minute. Fatique could be more important than static loading. In addition the connecting rod connects to the piston, so the weight of the piston is really important (especially when high revs and high acceleration at TDC - Top Dead Centre). If combined with the explosion that pushes the piston down (DIFFERENT COMPRESSION RATIOS FOR DIESEL AND PETROL ENGINES) then you understand that there are are many other things to consider (CRANKSHAFT, LUBRIACATION, BEARINGS) as well as momentum (the heavier the rod creates more stress to the whole system) . Therefore this is just one of the tests but the there could be 100s of test to check regarding an engine - which a dynamic system , works at different revs, temperatures, lubrication , compression ratios etc
The 67' 1500 engine used as was in f1 cars and produced well over 1000bhp with no problems...
Not with these rods.
I wonder if there's a benefit to having weaker bolts. Perhaps under unusual stress a weak bolt takes the deformation rather than the piston rod. So the bolts act as the sacrificial part. Cheaper to fix than replacing the rod. Idk, but in most machinery, if it's going to break, you'd prefer certain parts to break first rather than others.
Once the bolt goes the conrod is going to get jammed up somewhere and most proablly go through the side of the block. Replacing the con rod after that is the least of the owners worries
If one bolt fails, the rod will not ever survive it. Other likely collateral damage often includes block, head, piston, crankshaft, and valves.
It all has to survive, or it can all be "sacrificial parts".
M5 ROD is from E60 M5 V10 5.0 not from F90 M5 V8 4.4
Many screws broke. Furthermore, cars back then had more metal, still didn't last longer. Look at the performance today, a VW TDI makes 600,000 km, back then a Golf Diesel was finished with 150,000 max.
It stays consumer grade crap...

Rods resist compression very well, and they resist extension much worse. Both of the forces act on the rods and accordingly during engine work, the forces are strong during in compression and weaker for tension.
Reality is that rod is designed in optimal way for both of directions and if the design was good (no exaggerated or inadequate strength in any direction) then usually has equal chance to fail in both of them.
WTF 1968 bolt strong like ARP hahaah amazing , and rod well we dont have nothing to say its just 50x overkill for this engine hehehe. Great Video.
As expected that diesel rod didn't do too well for stretch but the x trail did surprisingly well! Compression test next? Id bet on the 1500 or tdi rod not bending 1st!
Tdi rods are not strong.
Stock vehicles bend rods all the time.
@fastinradfordable yeah but why? They don't just bend! it's usually because a head gasket failure that has caused a hydraulic lock!
they don't make them like they used to
Retro cars were made to last long.
@@Jamirio indeed because no Planned Obsolescence
im an engineer im eating popcorn right now watching the video and all i can say Bravo !
*EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE IN COMPRESSION* here are the facts:
The rod is naturally MUCH stronger in compression - its the weakest in tension when its trying to throw the piston off the rod at the end of the exhaust / beginning intake stroke at maximum RPM. This is why the diesel rod does so badly - it never has to rev very high, yet it experiences a much higher compression ratio and combustion pressures than the petrol - this is why diesel engines are cast iron.
Quote "The 5.2-liter V10 that debuted in the 2009 Audi R8 has the highest mean piston speed for any production car (26.9 m/s) "
" high speed diesel ~14-17 m/s for automobile engines"
CON RODS main failure is in TENSION, a compression failure usually occurs when hydraulic-ed or when the timing is advanced too much .
Even if its a more or les useless test, I'm still very impressed by that old engineering of the 1500.
Honestly, the xtrail really impressed me. Everyone knows BMW engines are tough. But this nissan rod looks pretty weak, but it does the job. Good job, man.
Okay thumbnail shows compression, but you pulled and the bolts broke. 👎
The connecting rods didn't fail most of the time, the fasteners holding them together did.
A mecânica dos carros antigos, sem dúvidas são as melhores, hoje em dia só fabricam lixo

no wonder the rod won which came from an engine that helped Gerhard Berger achieve his first F1 race win in Mexico 1986 where it ran at about 1450 HP during qualifying trim (afterwards, it literally fell apart.)

Thats an interesting test, but you should be testing for compressive force if you want to simulate the stress inside of an engine(torque), but those results give already some idea on how strong they are and if they can rev high.
1960's BMW the best material ..very solid string metal 🎉👍👍💪
Funny the comment about "compression" getting all the comments. True that is a consideration but not nearly as critical as big end stiffness and holding it's shape which is right up there with "stretch" and fastener failure, which seems to be the most common here.
Con rods almost never fail under compressive forces. It's the ability to resist the centripetal force under high RPM and the ability of the rod cap to hold it's shape under that stress that determines when the bearings will fail or the rod will break. If the rod journal stretches out of round it will destroy the bearing in it and if the fastener fails... well we all know what happens then.
why not compress them to show the real difference
That was pretty cool. Should try a lateral force next time. See how strong they are pressing the I beam. That’s where I’ve seen alot of them fail. Right above the big end. And bolts breaking are the two most common failures I’ve seen.
Backwards test. What is the point?

great your tests are really very useful for users especially those who are interested in cars and gadgets thank you
This was a stupid test. The largest loads on a connecting rod are in compression. The rest are much lower inertial loads.
Plus za pracę w teście, ale sam test nic nie wnosi, jedynie jakie są mocne materiały wykorzystywane jako zawiesia. Ale duży plus bo przygotowanie takiego testu to dużo pracy czasu i pieniędzy 👍👍👍👍
I disagree with most of comments . Most connecting rod failures come from small end of rod and piston pin seizing up.
Think about it compression puts no stress on rod bolts.
On the other hand high RPM will stress rod bolts and the rod beam. It is all a simple equation of material strength and force loads when trying to pull piston back down from TDC.
you deserve BIG LIKE for that job, BIG Thanks
As anyone said, compression is the stress factor we are interested in. But there's more: any claim should be backed by a statistical analysis on multiple samples, as companies do in their production lines. Testing single samples doesn't take to any sound reasoning.
For the most, you tested the rod bolts rather the rods themselves
Do a compressional strength test on the con-rods.
It would be nice to see the rods strenght in compression as well. In a high Rpm NA enginge, the pulling forces will be the limitating factor of the rods, but in high hp(high torque) it will be the compressing force that limits the rods. Its not as black and white as you can read in all the "expert comments here".
A big trapetzodial shape as the M3 rods have will be the strongest in compressing forces.
So impressive and interesting, thanks a million. However, what I noticed is that the rods fail mainly from bolt fracture. I am not sure but the tensile test seems to me that it is stressing the bolt/bolt heads.
Shows how strong modern engineering has become even stressing in a opposite direction
Would it be an idea to re-test another m5 rod because when you went for the second run, the rod may have been seriously weakened with the 12 ton first run where the anchor broke, just something I thought as I was watching, epic video 🤘😎
There are some tensile loads that need to be accommodated in the design, as the piston is slowed down as it approaches TDC. One of the factors determining this load is RPM. There seems to be a correlation between peak RPM and bolt UTS (good design ?).
I’d love to see fracture analysis after failure here. Why did the components fail at crack initiation? Materials or manufacturing processes?
Thanks for your work, very interesting as always.

El mayor esfuerzo de la biela es a la compresión, por eso en este ensayo de tracción muchas roturas fueron de los bulones de la tapa de biela.
From an engineer. This test show's the a little bit the capability for high rpms where traction is a more common problem.
But you must compare a special amount of traction in combination with the structural integrity. So no deformation. That's what the crankshaft and road is Killing. So the best testing value is nothing if you have lot's of deformation..
thanks for the video compression would of bean a cooler thing but in this case you went for the right choice of pulling apart
