This needs more up-votes! That'll be one heck of a video. It'd also be funny to see how out-of-balance the whole engine gets and how hard would it be to get it all balanced out.
for 20 years I have been trying to teach my kids how to work on there engines. I always started with turn signal fluid and piston return springs. I actually had my oldest son believing that they existed(the boy could not even identify a screw driver) It took his older sister to ruin my joke. This was a wonderful video thank you.
To me this episode is a special one, since I was actually there when they filmed it. Finally got the opportunity to meet with the guys from G54, for the first time since we started collaborating back in 2017. I even made a short cameo appearance (of the "blink and you'll miss it" variety).
Thanks for all your efforts translating Garage 54 for us english only speakers. This has to be to funniest, tongue in check, episode ever! Cheers Mate!
This works almost as well as attaching a 9v battery to your cilinderhead and the + to the spark plug. It ionizes incoming mixture, which makes for better combustion.
At 5:50 I’m questioning everything I think I know about internal combustion engines. In fact, this morning I helped my brother troubleshoot a 2-stroke (no valves) that wouldn’t turn over because it had a tiny piece of rope inside the cylinder... which is part of a (stupid) recommended procedure from Stihl to remove the clutch from a chainsaw.
The only way I can ever see the motor possibly run is in a non-interference engine with low compression, steel head with springs welded to the head in such a way the allows the valves to open / close. Maybe run 3 or 4 head gaskets stacked to allow for more room in the cylinder when the spring compresses. It’s pretty hilarious trying to rack your brain coming up with a way for this to actually work 🤣
Even before I watch this, think about this!!! "The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed."
Maybe with a 1/2" thick plate for a head gasket, weld the springs to that at their highest so they'll clear the valves. But now compression is 2.5:1 so you'll need a supercharger out of a T72 MBT and some jet fuel... :D
Even if you did manage to fit a spring in there it'll still be pointless. The piston will get slowed down when coming up. And that force will just add back when the piston is going down.
I've just come from a video where a 6-cylinder inline bmw engine was rebuilt for racing and piston return springs were put in - proving to me that these things are NOT gimmicks! You guys are just the pits.
Well, actually... What would it do with a very low compression, flathead engine, and springs thin enough to let the piston ho all the way up ? Also with said springs attached to the pistons and the head. It might not give power though.
How about throwing a car out the back of an airplane at 40000 ft with a GoPro on it. Great video well done guys.👍🍺🇬🇧🤘😂

At first I thought those springs were installed under the pistons and wondering how they should work. But after watching the video I would like to see a teardown of the engine to see the damages it caused. So I'm a little disappointed.
Not necessarily true, well usually not true even. While your intake is done through scavenge air ports in the liner your exhaust is still vented through valves. At least on anything I've worked on, ranging from Detroit diesels to EMDs marine engines. (And Wickmann and various other brands, they don't differ much in design)
Ok, you got me. Went from "wtf" to "that can't work" to "how it that working" to "is that actually a thing for real wow" before getting to the punchline. Nicely done.
If you follow it it'll take you to instagram where there's a Russian caption that translated says "Congratulations! You are very attentive and saw my Easter egg!"
@@Fetii Technically you can get them to "work" if you modify the shit out of the engine but you'd probably lose 30hp and the engine would last like 5 mins or so :-)
I was like wait is this a thing ? I watched as he claims it's awesome. My common sense says no this can't work how could the pistons go up and down? I saw it with my own eyes the packaging looked real . So i justified there must be space for them. So I hate to admit it but you got me.
Dude... he fooled me too... I've been thinking about it all day. They kinda would create the effect of having more compression but that would cancle out given the springs in the other cylinders... so yeah... been bamboozled
Yeah, just as everyone else is saying, Chrisfix did it as a gag. There are not such things as piston return springs lol. But it does make for an interesting video nonetheless lol. :)
Dont Listen to this Liar! Probably a goon working for BIG OIL. Piston Return springs have been used for a long time, first developed by Prof. Dr. Taehc Duarf in Elbonia. They are a little known accessory that can improve milage by 50% Not more, not less.
Probally better to shorten the con-rods / weld the spring to piston. (unless its made of that alien metal, that is hard to spell, in relation to where you are...)
Something didn't look right When all the springs were put on they were all at the same level The pistons should be at different heights in the cylinder head
@@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum but looking at the video all 4 pistons are down if 2 pistons were up or down then 2 springs would be up or down basically what I'm seeing is all 4 pistons and springs are at the same level
English: Try switching places with the engine aka the driver in the engine bay and the engine in the drivers seat Russian: Попробуйте поменяться местами с двигателем, также известным как водитель, в моторном отсеке и двигателем на сиденье водителя. Like if you agree and if you want to see this happen
Its based on old mechanics jokes: piston return springs, break caliper grease, green blinker water, cylinder dome lights, Siemens air hooks, blue transmission sand....
14:55 LMAO you guys are hilarious. I was already calling BS because any work used to compress the springs is lost power. I totally missed for a while that the pistons and valves would have no clearance! Fun prank.
Normal spring material would lose its heat treat from the heat of the combustion chamber, so they are not acting as springs. At best all they would do increase your compression ration slightly. The "Made in USA" was a nice touch.
That's the problem, they are using USDM piston return springs in a Lada. They are only meant for Dodge, Chevy and Fords. They need the left handed metric ones.
Even if it doesn't blok the valves, does not scratch the cilinder and would not block the piston. Whats the point of this??? Aplying a spring to push the pistons down with more force and the when the piston moves back up aply force to slow it down?🤔😂
