The imbalances of the crack shaft are compensated between both halves, so there is no vibration, but it increases the forces that the middle of the crank shaft has to support as each part of it is unbalanced. My guess is that if you go full power in gear at max rpm, it will fail, either instantly or after a bit of fatigue.
First, before you blow that engine up, put everything back together, fill her with oil, and see the actual improvement in speed response, then freeze it up! LOL
TOM C. Nah, just pull all the caps again and clean the grease off and put fresh grease on and drive it like that, with the oil pan to catch the kitty litter glitter
There is and old Romanian dude that swears that he cut's off those weight's and his dacia 1300 runs perfectly and is much more powerful and there's no difference in the balance... It's hard to believe... The guy cute the crankshaft with angle grinder takes the head to a shot to get 3mm off it and same treatment to the flywheel... And it idles normally and runs... It's not fast or faster in no way shape or form but I'm just amazed That it did not sefldestruct on the firs run...
You would never feel it, but the vibration is there. The harmonic imbalance in that crank would crack it in half pretty soon if run for any length of time. Although, the main bearings might go first.. those forces are immense.
This has become my favorite automotive channel! Removing the counterweights on an inline 4 cylinder engine doesn't really change the balance though. The counterweights are really only there to relieve flexing stress on the crankshaft on inline 4s. This really needs to be tried on a V6 or V8 engine, which relies on its counterweights much more for engine smoothness. Great channel though, guys!
Was a perfect summary of Russia when he says looks ok to me while holding a throttle cable revving the engine full with no sump on. I’m sure it will get you home
Mate. This is no word of a lie, I had a rover 416, with a honda motor in it. I was working in a quarry, (unpaved gravel roads) I smashed a hole in my oil pan. And was freaking out. Not only did the car get me home. It ended up doing 23,000ks before it blew a head gasket! I honestly was like wow, that was impressive! I was sad too see it go!
@@glen7463 haha same. Lada cars used to be the laughing stock of my childhood. Everyone took the piss out of lada, same as skoda. But noone is laughing at skoda any more. And ladas are not looking so bad now either thanks to this channel.
I was a car owner engineer and driver in circle track racing for many years. Cutting off the crankshaft counter weights was done often. The engine would rev and produced more power at the expense of longevity. For short races it worked phenomenally. But for races more than 25 laps it would not live. Good for 20 laps though!!
Michael Lynn Tingle the engine dies after a while because there is no lubricarion in the cylinders, the counterweights also splashs oil on the cylinder walls when the crank is spinning. Without oil the cylinders the engine also get hot more quickly

@@missingno3617 nope. Pressurized oil enters the crank at the mains, travels to rod journals, where it then, on civilized engines has a rifle drill in the big end of the rod to a squirter. Or in less civilized manners, has a channel cut in the big end to let more oil spray toward the cylider. But in a small block Chevy, it just counts on that 360 degree spray out of the big end to make it there. And the small end just picks up loose oil floating around. There is really never a lack off oil moving around in a crankcase to get on the cylinder wall.
You should watch the one they do with removing spokes from a 5 spoke rim. It gets down too...I wont ruin it , but its impressive how much shit they can take.

You got really lucky on how balanced it is. It should have ripped itself out of its mounts. Back in the 80’s I bought my ex wife a Mercury Comet. It was like Ford’s Maverick. We got it used and I was in awesome shape. But one night when she got home from work she said it was running really rough. I told her I give it a tune up that weekend, but she said no, there’s something wrong with it. So we went outside and she star ted the engine while I looked under the hood to see what was wrong. The damn motor wanted to jump out of its mounts. I borrowed a timing light fr9m a friend and the timing was way off, like 105 degrees or something. I don’t know how much because the balancers aren’t marked that far. So the next night I borrowed a pulled from work and tried to pull the harmonic balancer, but the bolt wouldn’t budge. I borrows a breaker bar and a piece of pipe and finally got it loose, but the bolt was sheered off at an angle. So I drilled and tapped it, and used an easy out. I finally got that piece out and pulled the woodruff key so I could install the new balancer. But I couldn’t get the bolt in that crank. At that point I had a friend c9me over and we managed to get a look at the snout of the crank and there was a third piece of the bolt still lodged in it. We finally got that out and while we were underneath the car we discovered that it had been in a front end collision. The entire doghouse, subframe and all had been changed. But whoever did it did a damn good job because. It took something major to find where it had been damaged. Anyway, after replacing the balancer it ran great. I loved that car and was going to build it up, but my ex got the car in the divorce.

Back on the old days of Rally , some racers cut the counter weights from crank shaft to gain on engine rev up time , but loose torque ... they also transform in dry sump , so oil don't slow down the engine while cornering .
Some time ago I've worked in a engine factory for a whole year and putting in crankshafts and the bearings was what I did all day long for 9-10h. I'm so used to look at these damn crankshafts all day that it was a really weird feeling to watch this video, I can't even describe it
if you watch the reving crank from the front the crank is going to look like someone trying to swing a hoola hoop around its waist , even when oiled normally its going to wear out the center bearings and snap eventually could pump oil intoo the oil pickup using a pump and a hose and just let the oil flail around when the engines running and clean the floor up afterward you can hack parts off the counterweights give whats left a knife edge so it has less resistance rotating through oilvapour in the pan fit forged aluminium rods , weigh out the small ends and pistons to match and get pretty close to balanced again (need a balancing machine to see if its good) , it will still wipe out the middle bearings though but will rev to the moon
i think what most of us want to see is an engine stretched to it' s limits. if it blows up well we still learned something. what is bad to watch is abusing an engine just for fun. waste not, want not. leaving the oil pan off was not good - we know that will tear up an engine in short order. so it blows up and we rally have not learned a thing. a waste of an engine. i have often wondered about the weights on a crankshaft. i just don't see how they can help. i would love to see an engine without the counterbalancing weights put to the test. love your channel. kudos.
The weight of crankshaft is also for enertia so engine doesn't stall when load is applied ,I'm a mechanic myself and I really dislike this channel. we used to make things better than this when we were kids
I think it will shake it self to death. Well I will be damed it still ran fairly smooth put a pan on it and drive it a round a while see if the mains can take it.
Yes, I thought is was bound to shake like mad as it is now nowhere even NEAR being balanced. Perhaps spending the money on getting the crank balanced at a shop is just a waste of money! ;) I also would love to see them put it all back together and drive it and see how it goes. I am thinking that once you put some load on it, it will then shake like mad. It runs smooth without the webbing with no load on it. Still, I was surprised by even that!
Wouldn't the valve phasing be all out of whack for that? - Inducting through the exhaust, and exhausting through the induction manifold. How do you get the fuel into the combustion chamber? Diesels 'can' be made to run backwards. Never seen a petrol engine run backwards.
@@consolehacker54 Good point, though logically, we are talking about this engine, rather than two stroke engines, however, even a two stroke engine's performance will be marred if the firing point is normally 'off' TDC. If the firing point coincides with TDC, then I quite agree, it would run either way, equally well. But, it's the four stroke Lada we were talking about.
Inline 4 engines are naturally self balancing due to position of the crank. Both ends are up while both middle are down. Cancels itself out. Impressive it didn't blow up with no oil.
That poor Supra! Who knows what they have done to it if they are cutting webbing and running cars with no oil it's possible that Supra had something bad done to it!
That's where they'd notice the drastic effects. The clutch will be weird, it'll engine brake more, it'll drop REVs a lot quicker when you engage the clutch, and so on. The weights on the crank are there for rotational mass. That's their purpose. You won't notice much of anything about rotational mass sitting still with no load. Go for a drive, and it'll be like night and day.
This car has a centrifugal clutch using a very worn brake drum, it was worn away in their video of the seesaw climbing poles . It doesn't really move now
It balances out because one piston/rod is always moving the opposite way than one other, thats why you dont´t need the counterweights, but the counterbalancing force between the rods/pistons increases through the cranks main journals and gives more stress on the crankshaft. Some engines does not have full counterweight. This is the best way (and most expensive) to design a crankshaft as lada has made it.
Reminds me of the old Prolong oil additive commercial where the pulled the pan off and ran the engine fully dry. Even go so far as to spray the crank with a water hose.
Episode theory: Hook a 12v power inverter to a car. Hook a 110v battery charger to the inverter. How long can you power a tv, a fan and a stereo without cranking the car up or until battery dies. I did this for a hurricane after it knocked our power out and some interesting things happened. These guys could really put an interesting twist on that I'm sure!
The Range Rover has 2 wellknown types as well what break their crankshaft. The Subarus 2.0 diesels even break their crankshaft. This Lada just run without oil on high RPM a lot without any problem. The Lada much reliable, faithful car than all the world thinks. And definitelly better than many of expensive "westside" cars. I felt pain in my bollox when I have seen that crankshaft and rods without oil :D :D Thanks for the video.

if you watch the reving crank from the front the crank is going to look like someone trying to swing a hoola hoop around its waist , even when oiled normally its going to wear out the center bearings and snap eventually
could pump oil intoo the oil pickup using a pump and a hose and just let the oil flail around when the engines running and clean the floor up afterward
you can hack parts off the counterweights give whats left a knife edge so it has less resistance rotating through oilvapour in the pan
fit forged aluminium rods , weigh out the small ends and pistons to match and get pretty close to balanced again (need a balancing machine to see if its good) , it will still wipe out the middle bearings though but will rev to the moon
i think what most of us want to see is an engine stretched to it' s limits. if it blows up well we still learned something. what is bad to watch is abusing an engine just for fun. waste not, want not.
leaving the oil pan off was not good - we know that will tear up an engine in short order. so it blows up and we rally have not learned a thing. a waste of an engine.
i have often wondered about the weights on a crankshaft. i just don't see how they can help. i would love to see an engine without the counterbalancing weights put to the test.
love your channel. kudos.
had to stop half way, i can't handle machinery suffering needlessly, but love you and thumbs up
0:19 Is that a Supra ?!
800hp supra project
Supra with 4 JZs 😆
This car'r timing chain is twice the widht than modern cars has 🤣
That's why timing chain service interval in modern engines is the same as timing belt...
@@fila1445 thats true
That cranky pun got me rolling.
" its just a bit cranky " man mad a pun and didn't even know it
Why so little comments?
coronavirus
put on the oil pan and go for a ride 🤣👍
This guy is why the first few levels of Russian duolingo keep repeating, "Papa, that is not my motor."
Love the timing chain dancing like a wind sock in the wind.U dont see that every day.lol
Thought they was going to put it back together (oil, sump, water etc). That didn’t tell us anything same as running without oil.
The weight of crankshaft is also for enertia so engine doesn't stall when load is applied ,I'm a mechanic myself and I really dislike this channel. we used to make things better than this when we were kids
I think it will shake it self to death. Well I will be damed it still ran fairly smooth put a pan on it and drive it a round a while see if the mains can take it.
Yes, I thought is was bound to shake like mad as it is now nowhere even NEAR being balanced. Perhaps spending the money on getting the crank balanced at a shop is just a waste of money! ;) I also would love to see them put it all back together and drive it and see how it goes. I am thinking that once you put some load on it, it will then shake like mad. It runs smooth without the webbing with no load on it. Still, I was surprised by even that!
I really respect that they didn't waste that engine after analizing it
The most impressove thing in this video is the timing chain slop and that red stuff. It' amazing how it holds up just based on that grease.
"It's just a bit cranky..." oh come on
Gotta love these Russians! Greetings from Belgium!
Hey, you could drill holes in the rods and piston skirts to restore some of the balance! 🤣
Sounds like some rock and roll is about to happen!
Can you try spinning the engine backwards? Like reversing the voltage on starter motor and try running it. Will it go forward in reverse gear?
Wouldn't the valve phasing be all out of whack for that? - Inducting through the exhaust, and exhausting through the induction manifold. How do you get the fuel into the combustion chamber? Diesels 'can' be made to run backwards. Never seen a petrol engine run backwards.
Gasoline 4 stroke engine with valves won't run backwards. 2 strokes don't have valves and actually can be made to run backwards
@@consolehacker54 Good point, though logically, we are talking about this engine, rather than two stroke engines, however, even a two stroke engine's performance will be marred if the firing point is normally 'off' TDC. If the firing point coincides with TDC, then I quite agree, it would run either way, equally well.
But, it's the four stroke Lada we were talking about.
got the points gap wrong on a puch maxi moped many years ago, it ran backwards
@@28YorkshireRose12 What if they modify the camshaft like they did in the steam powered lada?
11:58 weld the webs back on? hahah
Inline 4 engines are naturally self balancing due to position of the crank. Both ends are up while both middle are down. Cancels itself out. Impressive it didn't blow up with no oil.
Always nice when you can save a few rubles on a diffrent build. Lucky find!
IS THAT A TOYOTA SUPRA IN THE BACKROUND???
no its a lada with supra body
No,its tractor..
That poor Supra! Who knows what they have done to it if they are cutting webbing and running cars with no oil it's possible that Supra had something bad done to it!
@@joe125ful you can clearly see it's 65 mack dump truck.
Drive it on the road?
That's where they'd notice the drastic effects. The clutch will be weird, it'll engine brake more, it'll drop REVs a lot quicker when you engage the clutch, and so on. The weights on the crank are there for rotational mass. That's their purpose. You won't notice much of anything about rotational mass sitting still with no load. Go for a drive, and it'll be like night and day.
This car has a centrifugal clutch using a very worn brake drum, it was worn away in their video of the seesaw climbing poles .
It doesn't really move now
It balances out because one piston/rod is always moving the opposite way than one other, thats why you dont´t need the counterweights, but the counterbalancing force between the rods/pistons increases through the cranks main journals and gives more stress on the crankshaft. Some engines does not have full counterweight. This is the best way (and most expensive) to design a crankshaft as lada has made it.
The second this video started you know an OSA employee clicked a pen LOL
Yay I’m early and perfect timing to watch this for lunch
Also first I guess
Lunch? 21 : 35 in my country:)
It's 22 : 45 in mine
You must be in my time zone. Pacific
Ben Ruether yep
I want to see it at highway speed
Reminds me of the old Prolong oil additive commercial where the pulled the pan off and ran the engine fully dry. Even go so far as to spray the crank with a water hose.
Episode theory:
Hook a 12v power inverter to a car. Hook a 110v battery charger to the inverter. How long can you power a tv, a fan and a stereo without cranking the car up or until battery dies. I did this for a hurricane after it knocked our power out and some interesting things happened. These guys could really put an interesting twist on that I'm sure!
7:39 Now sounds like 4 Litre V8 GJ!
Go and drive next time!
I did this. You get an extra 450BHP
This channel is Legendary...always great projects
The Range Rover has 2 wellknown types as well what break their crankshaft. The Subarus 2.0 diesels even break their crankshaft.
This Lada just run without oil on high RPM a lot without any problem.
The Lada much reliable, faithful car than all the world thinks. And definitelly better than many of expensive "westside" cars. I felt pain in my bollox when I have seen that crankshaft and rods without oil :D :D
Thanks for the video.
a Volvo 240 can run with one of the connecting rods bashing holes into the crank case
