Curious how long all of those truck diesels that we see rebuilt in RUclips videos from Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries with similar conditions actually last.

You didn't wash each part down with a Coca-Cola bottle full of gasoline.
yree
You didn’t have curry for lunch Vlad
also didn't weld any internal parts, then shave them down with a grinder.
They did in many other videos with welded cranks, cams, blocks, and wheels! XD
😮😂
It's not an original Pakistan rebuild, you should wear safety slippers/flipflops for the quality of the job. :v
And coke nails
And missing the little boys washing all the parts in dirty sandy kerosene/fuel oil
"Safety Slippers". See class. That's humor
Lol, and you have to wear really long shirts too!
lollokl
Me: worrying about some dust on my hands when I slide pistons into the block.
Garage54: hold my beer
lol same
In my opinion, I still feel justified in my paranoia about sand and dust, but that poor Lada is showing us that it can put up with almost anything. :D I'm still gonna be paranoid about dirt and sand in my engine, but Lada motors seem to put up with a lot of damage for at least a LITTLE while.
Its okay keep doing the paranoia thing please haha
I had my Honda 750 clutch rebuilt in Pakistan down a back alley. The guys did an excellent job. I rode it for a further 20,000 miles in 3 years with no problems. I sold it after. The next owner has never had any clutch problems.
poor country make the best diy repairs!
It`s all due to the magic Pakistani dirt put in the clutch basket
@@MrCromagnonman😂😂😂 bro is right tho, the environment might be filthy, but they usually make sure nothing gets into the engine during the build
Japanese design it to broke after several miles. Pakistan makes it immortal.
never slipped once... or disengaged.
12:20 exactly my face when my car starts making a new noise 😂
A building in USA caught fire. All the world's fire brigades couldn't control the blaze. The fire brigade from Pakistan showed up, drove straight into the burning building and put out the fire. The world was astonished. When the Pakistani firemen were given a handsome reward, they were asked what would they do with the money. They responded: we will give the fire truck a new set of brakes! Y'all have been warned! 😅
I worked for an Auto Parts store and Machine shop business back in the 80’s. Dirt was a nasty problem in the AZ desert. Dust storms brought dust in everywhere. We bagged all the engines we built whenever we weren’t working on them, and when ever a storm popped up. It was the second biggest point of failure for guys who built their own engines at home. Between that and the guys who reused SBC oil pump pickup tubes and then used a ton of silicone it accounted for all the engine failures we saw.
You forgot the underage children, and the chipmunk voices.
LMFAO ! !
hahahaha
I was going to say the Minions soundtrack.
@@ImmortanJoeCamel yep 😂
Lmaoooooo chipmunk voices and super fast metallic clinking
😂
Once had a Niva 1600 with 1.4 mm piston cylinder clearance. (It had run in the dessert without a air filter), but it still ran without any problems. Best 4x4 i ever had
Wow!
What does the 1.4mm stand for
@@That_dawg420 Clearance between piston and cylinder because the Lada Niva had been driven in the desert for two years without an air filter
@@shootingsportstransparency7461 2 years without an air filter in the city is mental

We all love watching those Pakistani mechanics. The working conditions are absolutely horrendous. And how they remember witch bolt goes where when they are all thrown into a metal pan and mixed up with gasoline and dirt. The poor kids every inch of everything is covered in oil including them. And not an impact wrench insight. True back yard mechanics. Love it.😊😊😊😊

Anybody else see the fireball from the carburettor at 9:25 ?
Does anybody else have eyes? 🤡
I haven't even hit play and I'm laughing 😅
We've all seen those videos 😂
The algorithm never dug those up for me.
I actually enjoy them a lot😂
I think the flow of oil to the #4 piston rod was restricted. It simply didn't get any oil. Sand could have gotten into the crankshaft oil gallery, plugging it up, or perhaps, the cylinder block, which would be evident by damage in the main bearing journal. Before assembling any engine, take an air hose with a fine tip air nozzle on it and blow through all the oil passages in the engine block, crankshaft, camshaft, lifters, rockers, and anything else, that is pressure lubricated, to make sure there is no oil "starvation" anywhere in the engine.
Nice tips!
Kind of hard to do in the desert.
They used bad oil look at how dirty it is. The bad oil was its demise.
@@ErickAvila-cp6ui it was the sand grinding up all the metal, and the excessive friction that made that oil look like that
I think the other reason for the damage could be that the didn’t use the torque wrench
German: today german engine blow up at 100k km
Russian: lada engine works too good, maybe some sand help
More like 90,000 miles on German imports & it's overhaul time

@@CarlosManuela-vk9qg 100k km = 62k miles
@@finnjb3249yeah 62k miles is brand new still
hahahahhaaa Older VW/Audi Engines were a tank, ea827 and ea111. Tank engines
you forgot to sling molten metal around to remake parts whilst wearing safety flip flops to pour a crankshaft that will break in half in 50k km.
All stuff aside, it is amazing to see what can be done with so little.
Imagine if these guys invited the Pakistani mechanichs to a near impossible project for collaboration!
This is the build you do when the shop sandblasts you're parts and doesn't put them in a tank.
Please, please next step Pakistani welded crankshaft ... Two crankshaft welding on lathe and electrode welder... No measurements only wire.. Big thanks
But it needs to be done properly. Safety sandals, soda bottle diesel wash and whole job needs to be done in squatting position.
@zelenizub2036 you all seem pretty rabid.
I might be misunderstanding you, but if my memory serves me - then there have been a few experiments featured on this channel that involved reconfiguring crankshafts, with the reconfiguration process involving hacking, welding and machining crankshafts on a lathe. "We make a 1-stroke engine (all pistons move in one tact)" - this video is a pretty good example.
this is referred to as a "Russian Tune Up" The sand acts as a fine grit abrasive and you end up with a nice polished engine and components :P
The sand just laps everything in until theres adequate oil clearances. 🤣
3:22 has the be the funniest moment in G54 history 😂😂😂😂
“give me that pulley”
**pulley in sand noises**
“Well done, dude”
Just the expression on your face. It kills me. Keep up everything you guys do👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No flip flops? No Pajamas? No under age kids? Without these 3 criteria, this cannot be a true Pakistani rebuild!
You should try rebuilding that engine by repairing any damage to the block and see if it holds up! Love the content by the way!
I didn't see the required soda bottle full of diesel spraying down parts.
And you need to breathe that too.
I’m a mechanic my coworker gives me shit because I’ll work outside
I love improvising.
Once I had to fix my axles in the Mojave desert.
Insanely miserable work lol
But it lasted for a decade!
In those Pakistani videos they wash everything important with diesel or gasoline before assembly. They seem to do an okay job, given the circumstances.
It is the circumstances that is so funny
@@SPUDHOME not really being poor sucks
@@nooooooooooo6uoki67 owwwwwww
@@nooooooooooo6uoki67 theyre poor because they do bad job fixing stuff (watch those bearing "rebuild" videos)
They do bad job because theyre poor
Yes I'm from Pakistan and here everything is washed with diesel and engine components with oil and petrol as well not on sand. I have mechanic he rebuilds Hyundai Toyota Honda and Suzuki engines does everything on table not on sand
In Pakistan they work on hard ground with a bit of sand not like like here where you show loose sand like a beach blowing around.
Thats the funnest thing ive seen this week, a lada with an alarm? and you forgot the plastic bottle full of diesel to wash the parts down, thats why it failed
I know I can never get rid off all the grit and dirt from the parts and my hands when assembling and engine or a gearbox or any mechanism that has an oil bath.
What I do is fill it with any kind of whatever oil that's a bit thin, turn it quite slow but fast enough to splash the oil around so it can pick up all the dirt then drain it and fill the thing with some solvent. I usually use gasoline but diesel would probably be better as it has at least some lubricating properties. Then I turn it fast for a few moments to wash out all the oil and dirt that was stuck and didn't come out.
(Of course before assembly I try to clean everything as best I can but I can never get rid off the feeling of dirt on my fingers so that's why I wash it)
After this I either fill it with proper oil and use it or do the whole washing step one more time if I know I couldn't keep the parts clean.
This cleaning method has yet to fail me. Maybe when I do my first 4 stroke engine rebuild it won't work. I'll have to see.

my dad blew an engine rebuild cleaning everything down with paper towels. the fibres, while too small to notice, washed off every surface and travelled through the oil blocking oil ports.
No, it was probably the fram filter.
The only things you missed were first the use of diesel or other chemicals used to "clean" everything with no gloves or other PPE, and you forgot the safety sandals. Great job
The guy looked genuinely concerned by the health of that motor, you can see they love their machines
Sand helps with the bedding in process.
-In 1975, Porsche took their secret new car, the 928, to Tunisia for desert temperature testing. The enormous cooling system of these cars held up well.
What astounded the Porsche engineers was when they were driving through the desert, they came upon a man on the side of the road under his engine in the 45 degree C heat. A bearing had spun, and the man used a section of his leather belt to take the place of the bearing; To the astonishment of Porsche engineers, the man drove the vehicle away with little problem....
Incredible!
It is what it is
have seen that before, but the question remains as to how long it holds up!
@@rupe53 probably got him home
@@chiefdenis I did a job that "got me home" years ago and it was over 700 miles. I also did a job that got as far as a dealer trade-in. I doubt that lasted more than a few hundred miles. Big variable, right?
LOL at "Pakistan rebuild..." I watch those videos and it is amazing anything runs in that country!!!
You guys HAVE to be rebuilding an engine in at least a day or 2 to be able to pump as much content with engines as you do or there's just a fair amount of Ladas around yourselves with enough money to get a new one if one seizes
I mean, ladas are the top seller, so its not that they are able to use all of they at once
@@gabrielv.4358 i didn't know that they were a top seller. learn something new everyday
When it’s knocking like that it is an internet rule to hold it wide open.
ya'll never ceaze to amaze me with even more random things. awesome!
Hey Garage 54,
Could you do a video where you make the entire exhaust system (except the manifold of course) as one continuous muffler to see how quite the car can actually get and if it affects power at all?
Think it would be good to see if it's possible for a true sleeper build.
Y'all should try and put that motor back together with as few new parts as possible; hey, most of the sand should've been flushed-out with the oil leak, by now!
This is exactly why you need to keep your garage nice and clean :)
My friend, you have amazing technicians. They have crazy skills.
You guys need to see if an engine can run on cutting oil. It would be interesting to see how this type of “lubricant” can possibly hurt an engine.
If you put sand in the distributor it will compensate for the sand between the piston rings.
Pakistani here, that owns and operates a workshop. This type of engine building is only true for small towns or cheap mechanics that do the work at a fraction of the cost of the good shops; and truthfully, its 50/50 for most engines. So you can't really rely on that. The good shops have relatively clean, albeit simple concrete, floors and usually have old reliable european lathes and machinery from the ww2 era. Their engines rebuilds are pretty reliable tbh.
P. S. We don't have that much sandy areas here, not much towards the northern part at least, as the south is coastal area with a desert. The north has Swiss like green mountains and the mid is all forests and agricultural lands, so pretty green and fertile. So, only like ⅓ desert maybe.
Iv got 2 suggestions for next experiments 1 how far can you rebore the block and 2 nd can you convert the engine to rotory valves
What if they built an engine with WAY TOO MUCH assembly lube (the thick greasy stuff). And probably use a really light oil as engine oil to help balance it out.
Installing a K&N air filter will have the same effect
Not really
A Chinese knockoff one would pull crap in but certainly not the same effect 😂
i have had KN for years, no problems.
I've run K&N and AEM filters in my cars, they're actually more or less alright. Pipercross is one you'd want to avoid.
How did you come to that conclusion?
12:16 at 2000 rpm we saw up to 4 kilos *oil presure disapears*
Facebook market place.
Runs great, fresh professional rebuild with copious amounts of exotic silicate lubricant. 😂😂😂
You have to do the test of placing 2 brake pumps with 2 separate pedals, it would be a test of 1 brake pump for the front wheels, 1 pump for the rear wheels, after doing that test you can place 1 line that only brakes the 2 wheels on the right side and the other line that only brakes those on the left side but can only lock each side with a different brake pedal
I built a 4.0L tickford motor in my garden shed on the floor probably 10 years back now. degreaser and rags to clean things as i assembled. certainly wasnt a clean enviroment, especially having no door or glass in the windows. i spent years trying to blow the motor up, drifting it, doing burnouts, shifting on the limiter... it was quite unkillable. it ended up in 3 or 4 different cars still going strong and last i heard it was still running. absolutely loved that engine.
there is a couple vids with it on my channel actually.
JFC. I'm utterly speechless. I've built more engines in home garages and under shade trees than I can count and I don't once remember intentionally tossing the parts in my kids sand box or a mud pit before final assembly.
That's because you are not a clown, a comedian, or YooToob content creator.
Is JFC Jersey Fried Chicken?
You must be new to this channel
Then I'd be surprised if any of your junk still runs
Of course as I'm working on an engine rebuild where I was already being paranoid about making sure everything was clean and then I watch this...
Seen a Toypta 4Y engine being overhauled at the roadside. New rings, bearings and gaskets, but same pistons, valves ground in a bit in situ, and then assembled, and the original oil put back into it. no oil filter change, no new plugs, just a ring and bearing job, likely because the smoke was getting too bad. Did get a few buckets of water for the cooling system though.
you are doing science nobody needs, but everybody wants 😂
Very well put
If you were forcing me to build an engine in sand and there's a big river nearby, i'm dipping all my parts in this water. I rather have negligeable water contamination than sand paper destroying every parts lol.
Lada Engine is like our swedish b230. Works whatever you do. I recommend for a video you test b230! Volvo 745/945
The sand would forsure have caused a failure but the smoking gun here is the rod bolt without it's nut. That rod nut wasn't torqued, that's the only way it could come off.
Someday a guy with a metal detector is going to wonder how a Lada rod nut ended up in the sand next to a lake in the middle of nowhere.
Avete mai pensato di creare un V8 da due motori 4 cilindri Lada?
Siete i miei miti ragazzi!!! Ciao dall'Italia 🇮🇹
I agree. its not that hard. Just the cranckshaft woud be the problem. But they could use the V8 engine cranckshaft
I definitely recognize that engine from that short the other day haha. Definitely sounded like spun bearings at the end. Sand makes for a really good lubricant.🤣
You know what went wrong? I think they forgot to top up the blinker fluid.
Yep knew what kinda rebuild this was. Otherwise in america its the backyard desert build. 10 years military may have worked on a few in sand that would still run
Could you try pistons in a radial arrangement ON the flywheel at 90 degrees? Basically a crank delete, pistons push on their flywheel contact point in a clockwise or anti direction.
More shenanigans! Loving it.
you guys are dope man i love this experiment. God bless you all
I’m from Canada, but after watching videos on this channel, I want a Lada.
That look of sad, fatherly concern on Vlad's face @10:17 when he senses the imminent fate of his engine.
Starting to think Ladas were built by ol He Ty Ford himself. They could survive anything and a horse farmer can rebuild them with a crescent wrench and framing hammer.
Once again, 35seconds in i watched the entire video. Now i dont have to waste anymore time.
1:28 GAD DANGET, YOU BROKE THE RURUS
In the Pakistan videos they use a pressure wash of water to help clean the parts. It will clean away most of the sand and dirt. Maybe soak them with strong soap first.
Love to watch you guys from pakistan
You guys should do an inline 7 lada engine. No one has ever made an inline 7 in a car
Next time try to make your own bearings for cranksaft and/or to connection rods. That would be nice to see! If I would do so, I would use some bronze. Thats great material for bearings. I guess 100% functionality, if clearances is ok.
I think they did this with a few materials years ago. I remember leather specifically
You're not using true Pakistani sand. Results will vary.
Beach sand usually has smoother grains.
That’s funny
u hate it kid
When you guys are ready to do the ultimate build; 4wd, 4wheel steering, snorkel for crossing rivers; etc. Please add as many more options as you {& your many subscribers} can come up with!!!
G'day Garage54 & BMI,
16:15 "Well there's your problem" 😲
So after a hard day rebuilding the engine you ended up "Piston (Pissed &) Broke"😂
the starter had issues because compression was so high that it couldn't handle it! Too perfect build!!
Forza mechanics when I load a tune for a built engine on my vintage Ferrari in the middle of the Mexican desert
You guys should try switching the intake and exaust on an engine. Headers for the intake and intake manifold for the exaust. I think running the engine 180° out of timing. I'm talking about running the exhaust thru the intake manifold and intake in thru the exaust manifolds.
one thing they should have used was a case of brake clean lol that the back yard mechanic clean room in a can
Trust you guys to find new/old ways to kill an engine. Great work!
Many times done in the Desert at the Paris-Dakar for example. Just common sence. U can do it into the car, without throwing parts to the floor and cleaning them well with clean clothes when isn’t windy
I'm utterly in a clean room when I repack my conical bearings. This is torture to me!
personally id say the sand just acted like a cutting compund, a lot of it went through the oil pump and ruined the oil pump also. so it was just like a slow feed of cutting paste towards the end.
These comments are Gold.
9:23 did I saw an orange flame poping out of the carburator at about 9:25?
I call shenanigans on this video.
The added sand means you get free porting 🔥 unfortunately everything gets ported even if it doesn’t have ports
12:34 pov: you ride a city bus in Canada
Comingfrom someone who has meticulously rebuilt a few engines this was very hard to watch!
I assembled my 4banger like this 2 days ago and still works
SpongeBob, Patrick.... ? GEHTS EIGENTLICH NOCH !??
Ii fixed a moped in Cornwall that belonged to a surfer. he had no air filter. there were tiny glass balls in his piston chamber. I cleaned it out n put a air filter on it. did about 200 miles more then engine seized. it want even crank over. at the end
The valve timing isn’t set correctly that’s why it’s so hard to start
lucky for us they didnt get drafted
Assembly on a beach is insane.lol
