Where is Analyze...I want to begin now!!
-
This channel does the best car experiment on YouTube. It's universal language when you pull the oil pan with junk in it
-
I absolutely love the "fukit, let's try it!" attitude of you all. Your testing/experiments are the best on youtube in the automotive areas.
-
After watching this show for so long now I can build Lada engines in my dreams when I'm sleeping.
-
"Aluminum's thermal expansion coefficient is roughly three times higher than steel" So the clearances also needs to be tripled for this to start working. Wish they could retest with that
-
Garage 54, thanks again for entertaining us gearheads, it is appreciated. I have to say, I never ever though of an aluminum crankshaft, guess I will watch this episode and see how it worked out.
-
They should try resurfacing the journals to decrease the diameter and increase the clearance. Then get it coated again and try it with extra clearance
-
I've been catching up on older content so it's great to see a new one pop up! I was always wondering what would happen with an aluminum crank
-
A titanium crank might be nice.
-
Now I'd really like to see a titanium version of this.
-
This guy never fails to deliver great content.

Thank you Garage 54, you guys are the best, been watching you guys for many years now, lots of respect from the UK. And thanks BMI Russian for the voice over and translation, you too are very well appreciated, unwatchable without you buddy.

Hey guys, great fun once more as always, thanks. Have you tried trimming down a regular steel crankshaft to see how light it can allow the Lada/Fiat engine to operate. That would be interesting.
-
You guys put so much effort into every video. We love it.
-
I love this kind of question with answers. Thank you for doing it! Someone hasn't forgotten how to be curious and have fun!
-
aluminum expands more and might seize when reaching a certain size
-
Wow the Lada miss that car so much my uncle owned like 5 of them through out his lifetime great little cars
-
Yes! I've been waiting for this video since you guys did the aluminum valves. This video made my day thank you
-
Love how wild you guys are with your projects, it's always refreshing to see what you guys can do. Keep it up!

Here's a thought for you to ruminate on... Four part races with cylindrical roller bearings for the crank and rod bearing journals. At least you won't have to put up with debris in your oil pan. Think of the frictional coefficients (or lack thereof), involved if you need a reason to try.
