Is it possible to swap over a RUNNING engine? 

Why do surgeons get paid more than mechanics? All they do is replacing parts. "Have you replace a car part while it's running?" Garage54: "hey there fellas, we're doing open heart surgery on a car while it's running"

When you are so good at building/fixing/fiddling with cars that you have completed all side quests and main quests that you start to make up your own missions.

It sounds like swapping live heart of a human

"Lets carry on like nothing happened" Vlad: "There is sound"

"Bleeeeeep" "Calm down." Sounds very familiar. 😂

I've heard of 'running repairs' but this is on a whole different level.

Suddenly the term "Hot Swap" becomes an entirely new meaning haha

Custromer: Hi, I came for the engine swap of my car. Vlad: Just park there and let it run. It will be done about 20 mins. IVAAAANNNN!!! Come here, you got a work to do. Ivan: *swaps the running engine* Vlad: Why didn't you stop it Ivan? Ivan: It's 5 seconds extra and I never overtime! 😂🤣

Happy to see our hero Vlad at good health, and the Famous boys in action. This channel is beloved in Europe. Best greetings from Norway.

favourite bit was Vlad nearly sticking his fingers in the pulleys, then shortly after telling old mate to watch out for the flywheel

Great to see Vlad back! This was a super interesting experiment - has to be a record of some kind. Shout out to BMI Russian for translating and dubbing a full 40 minute video, we appreciate the work man.

This video would absolutely shut down an argument I heard from a doctor friend (heart surgeon) years ago. He brought in his Mercedes Benz for work. He asked the mechanic why it cost so much to fix. The mechanic jokingly asked the doctor why it was any different for the doc to make so much for what he did as the mechanic claimed when he replaced an oil pump it was sort of like a heart transplant or heart surgery, because when you come down to it an oil pump is the heart of a car, if it's toast the engine is trash.. The doctor replied "Yeah, but can you do it while the engine is still running?" Which pretty much ended the argument. *Until now.* Thanks Garage54 for answering that burning question for me. 🤣🤣 now I'll watch the video. Also thanks for the translations man. I've been with this English channel from the start and it's great to see it grow so much. 😎

The fact that nobody lost any body parts during this swap is astounding! Great job guys, love your videos and creativity.

Great philosophy about the three reasons to be in a hurry lol 😂

I love how they treat Ladas as disposable, especially love the door ding at 22:06.

Anybody informed the Guinness Book Of Records that there's a whole new record been set here?

Not only did these guys successfully swap over a running engine, but did it TWICE in ONE video. Kings👑

This is one for Guinniss book of world records! The second time went much smoother!! Practice makes perfect!!

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, 9:17 - Flatline! Quick, get the paddles. Charge to 200 joules, clear! Charge again! Nothing. One more time! We have a sinus rythm, there is a pulse! 15:56, The patient is fibing, flatline again. 17:20 another shock and life returns. These guys should get in the Guiness book of world records, or create a new Olympic sports event. Vlad kept himself and the crew honest. He could have re shot the intro with the white Lada and cut out the first half of the video with no one being the wiser. Great job to everyone!

Why doesn’t this channel have a million subs yet? Legit the only channel that does what the title says.

Never in my life have I ever though about doing this

The comment that "it's a Lada, it's always 13s" made me laugh - I always say the same of my Mini, although it's the old British equivalent of a half inch spanner. I often say "it's a Mini, they're all half" so I'm glad I'm not alone!

I've always wondered if this was possible, now I know and that's why this is one of the greatest channels on RU-vid

Here is a challenge just for you guys - Take a car in to the shop as a left-hand drive, and bring it back out as a right-hand drive. It's as simple as that! One day, I want a pet Lada of my own, they seem to be so much fun!

“So we have some experience with relocating this engine… now let’s do it again!” I absolutely love the energy and determination these guys have!! 😁

When you always wanted to be a heart surgeon but end up being a car mechanic 😂

Finally it's nice to see a 16.9 aspect video !

Vlad!!! Glad to see you back man. Wish you a happy and Healthy life ahead 😊😊😊

I can only hope they also read comments from this English language channel... Congratulations on your recovery! I had no idea you'd caught COVID-19. I can't fathom a world without our favorite Vlad. 😭

Everyone still got all your fingers? Well done, I didn't think you would do it, especially when the engine started to overheat! That was amazing, those Lada engines are as tough as old boots! What a team and no one lost a finger! :-)) What a team :-)) Second time went without any bother, I would still say you did it anyway as you started it again, but doing it a second time proved it could be done! Excellent work :-))

Try putting liquid nitrogen into the radiator

Man, this was great! And one of your longer vids, so that made it that much better! Well, now we know you can swap a running engine! Who'da thunk it?? Lol. Also glad to see you up, around, and feeling better, Vlad! You guys stay safe and keep cranking out the awesome content! Much love and respect from NE Florida, United States. 😎

Why can't I find this procedure in my Haynes manual?

To see a car engine running outside a car already is amazing.

This is what a proper vehicle enthusiast show should look like. This guys killed it.

This is definitely something to watch on a large screen and not a phone.

i dont know whats more impressive, the fact the did this in 30 minutes too is crazy

8:30 whew! I was getting nervous that guy was about to grab the crank pulley!

Great idea and master work! I will never forget this video and the fact that I saw an engine being swapped while running.

i am scared to check the oil while the car is running, but these guys are on a hole new level

"Perfectly good motor" Proceeds to leak like a sieve.

This is very important for all of those times when you need to swap engines on automatic transmission cars that have no starters.

The uncapped, unsecured compressed gas cylinder just standing in the middle of all the chaos seems like a great idea /s

Great work guys!! Good to have u back Vlad.

Glad Vlad is back.

This is the craziest thing I have seen in my car life in over 60 years. Rock on G54

I just watched the video. I think that puts what my dad did to shame. My dad works out in the bush for a logging company. While out camping in the winter, they all knew if they turned the diesel truck off they wouldn't be able to get it started again. Mid day, it is the co-workers job to fill the diesel. Mid, night it was the boss's job to fill it. The truck RUN the WHOLE trip, with a **oil change** mid trip.

You guys are insane with some of the stuff you do, this channel always delivers I swear!!! Keep the amazing content coming. Now what about changing engine oil with the engine running.

My record time for removing and replacing the engine and have it running is 20 minutes. It was on a NASCAR that we have swapped engines a lot so one me and 1 other guy decided to see. After 20 minutes we had oil pressure no leaks the timing and idol set. Was ready to go except for the suspension setup. And we changed the read end gear also. They use Ford 9” rear ends. Pretty fast to swap. Back when you could change engines during a race I think they got down to 10 minutes pulling out a hot fresh off the track running gear and drop another in it and be back on the track in 10 minutes. That’s outlawed now. Was before my time. The team owner told me about that. But never tried one running and doubt I will. Keep up the great videos guys.

I'm a simple man. I see a Garage 54 video, I smash the Like button.

You guys swaped and engine in 10 minutes... while it was running.... when you "weren't rushing".... Good job!

There should be a guinness record for this.

guys, that was sweet! you need to start up engine speed swap competitions! every episode can be a different vehicle . have a few teams all compete! also I cant believe that engine was still running with the water just looping! good show guys!

This channel deserve more subscribers. What an amazing job. I didn't believe this is possible. And they did it. Crazy ideas on this channel amazing. Awesome guys. Hope one day meet you all ☺️keep going.

You guys are the best! I’m always surprised with your new ideas and experiments, I love your channel, greetings from Germany

Wow, this was probably the most fascinating video I've seen you guys make! This is even better than my request to show cranking an engine while installing the head!

This is my favorite one you've done yet!

Vehicular heart surgery... not the content we asked for but DEFINITELY the content we need

This guy's are the best mechanic Chanel on RU-vid by far

"There are three types of sutiations where you need to hurry - when you got diarrhea -when you caught fleeze -when you are f**ing a man's wife" Oh my that got me so off guard

If my mechanic tells me it'll take longer than 25min to put a new motor in, I'll show him this video.

I would say that was a total success. It is amazing what you guys can do with Ladas!! Congratulations!!

Good work. That was one hell of a job, but you guys came through. Nice video ❤. Hats off to you guys 👏👏👍💪

Glad to see you back and doing well Vlad

i wonder if you all broke a world record of how fast to remove a running engine an transmission out of a car, i mean it did stall but it was like 15 times hotter then normal running temp we cant fault that.. 100% awesome work gents !

this is like a vlog, it's a nice format because anything these guys do with a car is interesting

"not like anybody can tell" "What are you talking about, we are recording the sound" 😂😂😂😂 This is so funny and relatable

It's not so much that the could do this... twice... but that they actually came up with the idea. YOu just gotta love these guys!

It actually felt like a rush in a competition, like the 24 Hours of Le Mans! Wow, so great, I liked it very much! ❤

Glad that you're back Vlad!

I'd like to see what happens if you were to shred or compact, a running engine. For science of -coarse- ) course .

Good to see you are well Vlad

So glad to hear you are doing well again! What you could have done to cool the engine while you were working is leave the heater core connected and running with valves on the hoses. Leave the heater hoses until last and connect them to the white car first after filling the heater core with water and open the valves up. The heater should be plenty of cooling to keep that little engine reasonably cool while you swap it over. Just a suggestion :)

Good to see you up and running again vlad

Glad your back. Hi from Winnipeg Canada.

Auto shops somewhere in the country! Hey guys? Can we transplant a running engine to another car that really needs it? Garage54 hold my beer!👋🥴🍺👌👍this guy's risk limbs and fingers just to bring us great content all the time!👋😂👌the fact that they did this before 40 minutes twice! Is freaking impressive!

Great to here you are well now. Cheers to your health. Steve, New Zealand

I love the fact that you didn't cut out any of the procedure, just to make it clear for us viewers that you didn't fake this one. All respect to you guys

Brings a new meaning to "was running when removed" 😂

Now this is what I look forward to watching

Glad to see you feeling better vlad. The lada motors seem like they are pretty tough

Welcome back Vlad! Glad to see you're ok :)

Mad ideas made here. Brilliant. Very entertaining.

17:03 "yeah lets carry on what we're doing the picture is gonna be the same not like anybody can tell" "what are you talking about? we are recording the sound..."

I can't wait to see this hahaha. I loving you 54 , thank you for doing what you do love watching keep up the work that noone can dream of doing ❤ you

I’m happy to see you feel better Vlad stay safe well bro .much love from America Btw the reverse lights wasn’t working

You guy's are absolutely next level, great job.🙂👍

Would love to see you guys convert a car to be driven in the same manner as a an outboard boat motor with a tiller arm that you twist for the throttle and steers the rear wheels.

This is awesome keep up the great content love your videos

Vlad its a lesson to learn, after that engine died you didn't get upset, from what I see it must be great to work for you!!!!!

Can you make a car powered by a lot of starter motors

Only Lada can be changed still running! :D Nice work fellas!

Okay, now while driving.

@Garage 54 - Glad to have you back Uncle Vlad :)

You need to host events and do this kind of things live would be amazing to watch in person

Just made a sacrifice to the car gods. Ripped it’s still beating heart out and showed it to it!

You guys always amaze me!

Well done guys! 👍

Awesome job ! 👍

24 Hours of Le Mans 2021 is coming up the end of August... hope to see a Lada get entered into the race. You can thrash the engine until it explodes and do a running engine swap - the engine will even be up to temp by the time its installed and you're ready to drive off.
