107% agree one that one!
Agreed this is why i subscribed
The voiceover guy even turned on a radio filter. What a legend
That cracked me up
getting better every episode 👍
Search for the sauna episode when him impersonating women voice. 😂

I didn't like the voice overs at first. Like 50 videos in I absolutely adore BMI Russian. He really goes the extra mile!
garage 54 never fails to answer questions ive never had. i love it
Lol
Engine light tells that oxygen sensor cannot work. It's running rich for sure.
😂
Wonder what oil WEIGHT that concoction came to be.
Love that you added the phone voice effect in the translation, BMIrussian always giving it the full 107%
Hey, what can I say, we love what we do.
BMI Russian has stepped up the game, yet again. I almost didn't realise it was being interpreted!
goated translators
What will happen if you put to mutch oil in it ? When is it to much ?
@@jethrolambrechts6132 It will push through the rings more and can even blow past the main seals..
Do this with fuel additives instead of fuel!
I'd have thought they'd do both this go around ha
guys in US tried it it does not work
YESSSSS
It will just break the fuel pump
Ahahaha, ❤👍👍👍
Glad to see you're giving those poor ladas a break there wont be many left at this rate lol
Got the tree out back 🤣
the us got cash for clunkers to get old cars off the road russia has this man.
@@chehystpewpur4754 Lolol!
I'm kinda sad it wasn't a Lada
WOW! I'm an 'OLD AMERICAN GEAR HEAD(80 yrs. old) that still works on his own high mileage Ford truck. I do use additives. BUT not all mixed together, ha, ha,ha. I can't believe that engine is still running that good. I really enjoy your videos. You guys put a smile on my old face. Thank you. Sincerely, BFJ Rajkiewicz.
Rajkiewicz is Polish name ☺️
@@bertone122dokładnie tak brzmi :).
@@bertone122 Yes sir. My sur name is Polish. I am a 4th generation American/Pole. Dziekuje for recognizing it. I am very proud of my Polish ancestry.
I tought you're not living in poland, after you wrote "ford truck"
@@BruceFJRay It's funny how they say america is so racist and all, yet like every 4th name I hear is of non-US origin and never heard people having an issue with it, meanwhile in sh*tholes like UK they want to kick out ALL "foreign" people including ones that were already here for multiple generations... In america there is a discussion about kicking out ILLEGAL migrants, while in britian it's the same convo but about LEGAL, working ones.. Just goes to show how media twists things into insanity & division. Not saying america doesn't have issues with racism, especially systematic, but it's not on a level of faschism that you see in some european countries, South Africa etc..
Can we all take a minute and give bmi Russian a pluas for the work into the transitions and even uses editing to make it sound like he's talking on the other end of the phone 👏👍
who knows maybe this is were the zombie virus originates from🤣🤣🤣
"Honda will never beat a Toyota "comment was the best😂
18:43 human exhaust gas analyzer! The voiceover is first-rate, as always.
I also like seeing the cityscape and the traffic.
Project Farm did several videos regarding additives. They usually do their job with *reasonable* expectations. They aren’t a mechanic in a bottle, but you can expect seal leaks to become a bit less of an issue (maybe even stopping completely), and potentially some slight improvements to smoking/noises/compression, albeit small. I’d call them “better than oil alone” for old, tired engines, and with that said, I often use Lucas.
Yep. I use Lucas Oil Upper Cylinder Lubricant & Fuel Treatment & Injector Cleaner in my F15 3.0D as a maintenance.
It works perfectly. Cleans the injectors, less fuel consumption.
I frequently put the pedal to the metal for plus 15 minutes so the dpf etc gets "flushed".
@@laurapalmerTDGEI like to run moreys upper cyl lube/cleaner liqui moly fuel cleaner conditioner and nulon octane booster with every fill up I've got it all mixed together by ratio and just use my mini squeeze bottle and also alittle bit of oil stabilzier maybe %2.5 or with my oil burning honda upto 15 or so
@@kainestefaniak2751lol jfc bro
@@allegorx58 I'm able to get everything pretty cheap hence the "homebrew" fuel additive setup runs great in all my cars and I thought with my civic burning oil it may help burn out with less mess in the motor and the previous owner mae the timing out so the octane booster helps there again.
everything is half dosed so it lasts longer and I don't do any "damage"
I do like the stabilizers though even 2.5% in any cars oil change won't effect viscosity and makes the oil just that little bit tackier. I personally don't like high amounts of oil additives anyway never really noticed a diff oil consumption wise but I do run that little bit more in the civic.
When I bought it it was horrific but with really short oil changes an such it is better but it has its days it'll eithier be a fog machine or a very slight haze in the mirror again when warm and cold different again and outside temps 😂 it's a guessing game I love it
Agreed on this. I've had a rear main start leaking mid trip out bush. Added nulon rear main stop leak, slowed it to a seep. Incredible stuff
i had an accord with the f23 engine. It too did the same thing, turns out the oil control rings on that particular engine loved to sludge up and get stuck, once they were stuck these engines were ticking time bombs and all this effort to control the smoke is moot because the blowby causes the intake to clog up full up carbonized oil via the egr port. So even if any of this did anything to help the oil control rings, the engine is still sucking in its own carbon and oil deposits from the egr side anyways and slowly killing itself in the process. all that needs to be done is replace the rings and clean the upper engine stuff (intake manifold will be full, lap the valves and clean the all the carbon out) and it will live to see more miles
BMI russians level of detail for the translation is so out of this world, those guys do a good job... they even recreate and mimic the sound of the radio when they are speaking from different vehicles. and you even get the tone of how they are speaking just right.... hats off to you guys, keep up the great work! you too boys down at Garage 54!!!
The longer videos are better! After 10minutes when your fully into it, It does'nt suddenly ends. Keep the good work up guys!
BMI Russian...you deserve a shout-out. Great work dude !
Hi guys do a deep clean on the Honda engine like you did on the previous video. See if it brings it back to life
Since the engine kept burning so much oil, maybe you should try to run it only with that thick anti smoke additive in it. Great video as always!
Valve seals are probably totaled already, all the blue smoke shows it well.
@@Jean-Denis_R_R_LoretDon't forget; smoke on acceleration-rings leaking, smoke on decel-valve guides worn.
All tests should be on equalized engines, same life, same abuse, etc.
Otherwise it's not scientific because repeated results will vary.
Still, great entertainment here; love it!
@@garychandler4296 one thing ive learned about cars is they don't care about scientific evidence what will fix one will blow another anyway
Once I had a V8 Holden (Australia) car with an old engine. I made water injection and plugged it onto the inlet manifold. It was a bottle, some clear fish tank tube, a fish tank air adjuster to adjust the water flow. It worked well, I used it for over a year. I then rebuilt the motor and realised the port on the manifold only allowed the water to one bank of the V8. Half of the motor was very dirty, oily and with carbon deposits... the other half was clean... like new...no carbon, absolutely clean?? With your smokey, gunked up Honda... try putting a garden hose with a fine mist spray of water into the throttle body so that you can see steam come out of the exhaust. Don't run so much water mist to hydraulic lock the motor, but enough to see steam from the tail pipe. I think maybe after an hour or 2, the water may clean and free up the rings/valves intake runners etc... give it a go... it can't hurt haha Greetings from Australia
Fellow aussie here. Just curious, when you say "old", how old do you mean? Like, what model and engine?
Misting water into the intake is one of those 'if you know, you know' trade-secret type of things. Sorta similar to emulating water in with the fuel - swings and roundabouts.
@@zchettaz HX kingswood with a 253. You don't want water in the fuel, you want the water mist in the air that mixes with the atomised fuel
@@ratmanmurray7137
Nice mate. I had a HZ wagon, been looking around for another kingwood as a project but they're worth a fortune now, so regret not keeping the HZ.
I know water by itself wont mix with fuel, that why its emulated, meaning that its combined with an agent that allows it to bind to the fuel. Its also called 'aqueous fuel'.
This aqueous fuel is vapourised by the water component as steam in the chamber. The expansion of the steam together with the combustion of the hydrogen released by dissociation of the water molecule results in the same power output as compared with the same amount of fuel, even though it has half the potential energy. Thus, it increases the octane level, allowing higher compression before detonating, it also helps lower emissions and absorb combustion heat, amongst a few other things.
Long story short, if done correctly, your engine can increase its power output by up to 14% with only 5% emulated water in the fuel. While im sure these percentages can go higher, there is a tipping point where it will decrease power output, but i have never pushed that limit... yet lol.
Doing this in combination with water mist in the intake can increase engine power output by between 20% - 25%. However, this also requires a couple of other adjustments (a/f ratio, spark etc) so i wouldn't recommend it unless you really know what your doing.
And yes, Im a bit of a nerd if you couldnt tell lol (think jesse from original fast and furious) and sorry for the essay.
Every time I’m like “I wonder what would happen if” this channel has it 😂😂💪🏾
I swear these guys do the craziest stuff, and it's awesome.
if anyone deserves a show on speed channel its these guys
Been watching you guys for 4 years now! Keep doing crazy things! We all love watching you break stuff! 😅😂
You should send it off for a used oil analysis to see how much antiwear additives n such
I love watching these and all the experiments you do in cars, I love seeing the effects, these are awesome!!!!
loads of fun in this episode always a breath of fresh air. sure beats what is going on in other parts of the world. keep up the peaceful fun Vlad kudos to you and your crew.
No fresh air for people driving behind them lol
Great video as always guys !!
been watching for yrs best ever channel this guy needs his own tv show
I love all the things you guys do! I hope you guys are staying safe.
Garage 54, project farm and ave fill my soul with joy.
I love how he always does the assistants dirty with their voices 😂
i just love your "just do it" mentality
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Thank you Garage54 for doing all the things i want, but dont dare to do to my own cars! legends of youtube!
You guys take very much effort to these videos 👍
Try giving it an "Italian tune up"with Seafoam gas treatment.
As always you guys did another awesome video.
Interesting to see if it gels up or gets thick once its ran for a few days.
he should try some hot chocolate as an engine additive for the giggles factor🤣
Seafoam or Redex the pistons, pull out the plugs, pour in a good weight of either, allow to settle overnight, put some cloths loosely over plug holes and spin till all the excess stuff has come out onto cloths, plugs back in and start up, then induct some into the air intake to clean that side of things as well and the soaking should free off rings, attack carbon buildup on crowns and valve faces. You could follow with a water induction to wash away any lingering yuk.
Do like you did with the lada engine. Strip it and use the parts aqua washer on everything and rebuild it.
Love the show! No matter where in the world men and cars are, there is always some fun, experiments and humor! Thanks for the fun, now to get some merchandise...
I love this guy. He has so much fun. ..
Those F22/23 Hondas are built damn well.
Love the videos, always fun to watch
Yeah you guys need a personal dyno to be able to spot minor changes. Cool videos, keep it up!
take the engine apart, as you did with the lada engine.. clean it, new gaskets and see if the smoke is done.. and one final compression test
It would probably be fine afterwards. After recently doing that to a 353K mile 27 year old D16Y7 and seeing the factory honing marks in the cylinders, bearing clearances still well within specs, and ending up with an engine that runs like new and burns no oil with nothing more than a good cleaning, new gaskets and hoses, and a new timing belt, I pretty much concluded that these classic Honda engines will last a lifetime with good maintenance and occasionally replacing belts, gaskets, hoses, etc as needed. After seeing how little wear that engine has, I'd bet good money that it will last the rest of my life on its original bearings, rings, pistons, valves, etc.
Diesel as engine oil flush
Great video! Makes me think back to all the beaters I owned as a kid and all potions I poured into them in hopes of recovering some performance.
Flush it perfectly clean with acetone (i mean like many-many litres until all the oil channels are clean and no crap comes out anymore from bottom plug) and then fill it up with full synthetic 2-stroke oil :)
Have you done it? Is the flush safe?
@@siccolindsay610 no i havent done it but i dont see a reason why it shouldnt be safe
I would guess, it ruins the seals and cause other problems. Too strong. But diesel fuel should be ok for a flush.
I love Garage 54! You guys are alright!!!
It would be amazing to see the lab results of that mixture from a oil testing company (like black stone since you may be familiar with them).
I can see it now..."This is not oil, this is straight crude, (light sweet crude), where did you get this....stuff?"
Look forward to seeing the other episode of the 2 stroke conversion
Do the hydrojet cleaning process on this engine.
Incredible to see the amount of motor oil additives available there alone. In the Nordics you rarely see oil additives as modern oils typically have the additives in them already
Your videos are everything I love
Try to rotate engine for 90 degrees so pistons will be bottom and cankshaft top.
That would be 180 degrees but i love this idea. They would have to somehow make an oil pickup that went from the valve cover to the oil pump or run an external oil pump... That would be really fun to watch them figure out
@@jblob5764 first off no and more no. there is alot of design and part changes to change the orientation of an engine. they are based on gravity after all. the valve would be a problem on this engine the spark plug boots would dump the oil out. and the only positive for the whole scenario would be the bottom end wouldnt have oil clinging to it so it would free up horsepower until it blew up.
you could do a dry sump and have the engine drain into the oil return but still its gonna constantly lose oil fast and without a dry sump setup the oil pump isnt going to prime for a long time on start up and just destroy the bearings.
on a cam in block engine the rockers lubricate the camshaft by letting oil drip down on to it. cam in head would last a little longer but not by much the oil will be flung away rather than lubricate the lobes or lifters.
There were aircraft engines that were orientated like that.
@@chehystpewpur4754 yeah its obviously a terrible idea for a plethora of reasons, but im suggesting some quick bandaid fixes they could do just to make it operate for a short while like most of their other absurd experiments.
To make it actually function reliably for any real duration youd have to re engineer so many things, improve the seals of the valve cover, o-ring seal all the spark plug holes which takes machining grooves into them, basically either turn the valve cover into an oil pan or route everything into a dry sump setup with an external pump, the cylinders would constantly flood with oil from the crank bearings and it would always have oil in the combustion chamber on startup from the leak down which would definitely create a risk of an oil hydrolock on EVERY start-up. would be a nightmare to make work long term, hell subarus constantly leak oil from valve covers and those are sideways not upside down lol. But if they were willing to make an inline 4 into a 2 stroke i think they'd be up for the task of trying for entertainment
If your engine's running on oil I think it's time to replace those piston rings 😂
valve seals
@@edtam6correct ! also an extra lug to lock in VTEC
@@edtam6 90% its rings, 10% its seals
It's oil rings. Normally valve guide seals when bad smoke on start up n then clears up.
@@shawnsatterlee6035 when you put too many thickening additives, the seals go to shit
As a Honda owner myself I believe that those engine pops were caused by malfunctioning VTEC system. You see VTEC system uses oil pressure with combination of a solenoid valve in order to engage and disengage the modified cam profile.So if you don't change oil regularly or use oil with wrong consistency it might prevent VTEC system to work properly. Based on what I have seen in this video I'm guessing VTEC system on this particular car is probably all clogged up resulting in VTEC not disengaging properly resulting in bunch of fuel getting into exhaust pipe. So before doing any further testing on this engine I strongly recommend you disassemble and thoroughly clean the whole VTEC system, replace the oil once again and go for a drive. I bet engine performance will increase significantly since VTEC might be restored to its working condition. Will this solve the whole smoke problem? Most likely not. At least not entirely.
the cat igniting the burned spooge in the exhaust is hilarious!
I love you Guys at Garage 54
Ole boy looks like he's losing weight. Hope all is well!! Love the content!!! Been watching since day one!
First, I love the purple color.
Second, I use additives. Just not so many.
Third, I truly love this channel !!! It is one of my favorites. Maybe my favorite.
Forth, watching one of your videos makes me happy all day long.
Fifth, you could call yourselves “Automobile Scientists!!!”
I bet you have fun making videos.
U r the best channel in RUclips ❤ u deserves at least 10M subscribers ❤ u have nice crazy ideas and very interesting to watch , and the translation is making it more funny
I love this channel!!
flash it for few hours with flushing aditives
that engine was in limp mode with the check engine light... ofc it smells more like gasoline. It does not use any sensor and runs on fixed mapping (rich on gasoline).
Its videos like this why I love the Internet. I love these guys 😅
This is awesome. Some of those additives look quite delicious. The manufacturers probably make them look strange on purpose to make it feel like you're really doing something.
Well, most of these oil additives are really just a few% actual additives, and for the rest consist of some low API grade base oil (SC/CC), usually monograde. By themselves, they will work.as a very basic motor oil, for a short while.
Very thick; I used one of these, STP, on a Fiat Spyder twin cam and it promptly destroyed the bearings.
@@Flies2FLL it's straight 30 weight. It's fine once warmed.
@@TheGuruStud That's way thicker than most modern (meaning non-agricultural, made after 1950) engines like to start with from cold. OTOH you 're not supposed to use 100% STP in your engine...
I know Japanese motors are very reliable but hey, this very good indeed.
I suggest to put transmission fluid instead of traditional motor oiland see what happens
I've done that a few times.
it is excellent for cleaning the inside of the engine, as ATF contains lots of detergents.
you shouldn't do 100 percent, because the viscosity is not proper for the forces in an engine.
Scientifically thats bad
@@jeyseychelles1370 that's true but if they want to make a stress test to the motor, i think it's a chance!
Amazing! I call that experiment a successful test! I love this guy’s inane experiments👌😂👍they never disappoint! Now! I think you should try running the engine on cooking oil.😂
the engine honey was the icing on the cake.
The face of the Honda owner 😂😂 when vlad is teasing him😅
Drain the gearbox, refill with milk, churn butter on the go!
Thank you fellow safety belt enjoyer.
You need To test the ametech Engine restore 👍🏻 thats wat we like To see of an Engine using oil
It would be amazing if you guys had a test bench for the car. You could see the changes of HP and torque.
I guess some water is escaping from the cooler from the head gasket or water cooler to the engine oil 😂❤ love ur videos
that Mk2 was the highlight ✨️ 🤣🤣
😅😅😅 I love this channel so much
I'd say this engine has proven to get a clean up built like the one you did (upload) recently :))
Back in the day, I had a friend who had a 67 pontiac executive wagon. 400 ci. Smoked like crazy. He started putting 75w90 gear oil in the engine. Smoked a lot less and would stink up the whole neighborhood. He drove it for several months like that
Get you across the country with that one!😄
For the next Video... try Water in an Automatic Transmission, would be nice to see if its still can shift up or down.. ;D
Can tell you from personal experience that the tranny will not shift and the car won't even move 😂
@@Dillybar777it would shift alright, right into housing pieces on the floor
@@lenney872 LMAO
It'll slip and ruin the discs
If my second tongue was Russian i stead of Spanish, I'd surely enjoy a few beers and a few shots with this man!
Cheers my friend!
11:03 “WOOOAHHH! HONDA!!” 😂😂😂
Great experiment! I always wondered what would happen if you did this. I am curious if Rislone ring sealer and treatment would do anything with this engine to slow the oil burning on acceleration. Obviously nothing but a rebuild is going to fix all those problems completely, but I am curious if a ring sealer would stop some of the oil burning on acceleration.
Just hearing him say AH HONDAA ! Made me smile
it prob has a clogged pcv valve, plugs need to be replaced, ht leads have high resistance and worn as well as the coil pack(s) 😂
the owners enthusiasm was the BEST 🤣🤣 ❤54G
BMIrussian goated for the radio effects 😂
I enjoy this video so much
Very interesting content.
Made me feel like a kid watching this 😂
That first stroke! 🤣 4:00
Thanks for draining 😃😍
Do this with a/c PAG oil
Increible video Garage 54 y ese humo pareciera uno o varios retenes de valvulas que filtran...lástima que los aditivos son mas caros que el propio aceite...pero un dia andando con aditivos no parece dañino...SALUDOS!!!!
This is a good one
Not only does this work ( with fuel additives) it can be used to clear out dirty, waxy diesel fuel systems. Or gas . It's easy on a mechanical injection car to run the fuel intake into a can of seafoam
Why does vlad strike me as the southern american version of a russian, but one of those ones that grew up really well because he always had a good role model and understood the things he likes and was never discouraged from them?
Now you have killed all the mosquitos.
A super charger or two those f23 are realy bulletproof😊
Nice James Bond reference at 7:30 ish, thanks.
