now fill up the radiator with listerine mouth wash

project farm will have to test washing liquid against the oils!

Many years ago when I was an apprentice I owned an old Datsun 140y which used more oil than petrol. It smoked like a steam train. Money was tight and my wife was pregnant so we couldn't afford an engine overhaul. What I did have access to was a lot of old used engine oil which I literally burned through the engine to keep it going. It must have been at least 50 liters which went through that engine in about 3 months. What amazed me is that even though I expected the engine to blow up at any minute it kept going. Eventually a buddy and mine were at my home and we decided that we should pull the head and check if there was traces of broken rings. I had bought a dekoak kit. When I pulled the head the bores were clean and we could see no piston damage from the top. What really amazed me is how clean the engine was inside. Even the golden stains that usually develop on the exhaust side of the head where barely visible. We pulled the engine and found that the oil rings were completely collapsed but again everything in the sump was like new not even dirty. I just changed the rings used the same bearings and threw the engine together expecting it to die a terrible death within a month. The engine never used a drop of oil from that day on. 10 years later I sold the car without having to touch the engine mechanically again other than the odd oil change. By the time I sold the car she had nearly 2million kms on the clock. Sadly the body was beginning to fall apart when I sold her.

i know someone that used to clean the inside of cruddy old engines with paraffin. He would drain all the oil out and fill it to the top with 5-6 gallons then leave it for a week to soak (never starting it ). After a week he would drain out the paraffin (which was jet black) and refill it with cheap oil. He would then remove the plugs and turn it over to get all the paraffin out of the bores and refit plugs and fit a new oil filter. He would then start it and let it idle until it was up to temp, shut it down and do another oil and filter change. The oil that came out that had only been in it for 20min again would look like it had done 20k miles. He swore by it and said it would stop some smoking issues, (by cleaning out ring groves) oil leaks (paraffin softens and swells rubber seals) and noisy tappets (loosens varnish and deposits). He would then follow up with another oil and filter change at 500 miles

To the american veiwers. Fairy is the same thing as Dawn. Same company, different name.

Let’s try this with dot brake fluid, that removes all deposit and gunk from the engine! 😉👍

I've cleaned engines with a mixture of 1 part fresh oil and one part diesel. One had a lifter stuck, and was all gooey and had black hard residue in the lifter gallery. After running the engine for about twenty minutes, I emptied it from the mixture (it came out really black) and poured in just fresh oil and had the engine running for another twenty minutes. Then emptied it again and then you couldn't see anything but fresh oil coming out. After that, I fitted a new oil filter and poured in fresh oil for the last time. Then the engine was quiet.

You must add WATER to that soap... otherwise you will not solve the burnt oil deposits.

It doesn't matte how bad of a day I had. When I watch one of your videos, I can not help but laugh. You always put a smile on my face. I thank you for that.

Used to use a mix of ATF and Diesel years ago to clean the internals, seemed to work well with the hydraulic tappets and cleaning the oil rings

Soap, guys! Wash going on? Bubbled with joy when I saw the notification. DA!

Dishwashing fluid reacts with water. It's the water (without surfacetension) that does most of the cleaning.

"Garage 54 installs mans arm on backwards" @ 6:00

Vlad was different today, he was vary informative and explained everything perfect good job comrades 👍

I'm always amazed at how stout the cam bearing caps are on Ladas. And I'd never even heard of a Lada before I started watching Garage54.

"It's hot in there and we're doing this properly..." 👍😂

My old 91 C1500 Chevy 4.3 truck my grandfather owned, only did an oil change when it was new, we always use to give him a hard time about not changing his oil, Well he got older and in 2015 I bought the truck off him, and it was is rough shape but still a ton of life left on it, I never did the oil change at all and I sold that truck last year, it had 687,000 miles on it, original engine, Smoked on start up just to let you know it still has oil, I still see it from time to time. That truck just wont die and its been threw some stuff, I hauled in 6,000lbs in scrap engines and transmission with that thing lol. My 92 Silverado, I put in a 12,000 mile 94 tbi 350 v8 in it, I do the oil change 3 times a year on it, the engine should have around 100k miles on it at this point, body has 366k miles on it now.

Dishwasher detergents molecules are long molecules with 1 side that is hydrophobic and the other end is soluable in water. Therefor you need water to activate the cleaning properties of the detergent. And you'd need to add A LOT of water as one liter of detergent is good for around 50-100 liters of cleaning liquid. It will foam like crazy so add around 10 ml of octanol to eliminate excessive foaming.

@14:00 is when a teenage boy first discovers the hub

Oh my god, you guys also got the Vilarriba and Vilabajo AD for Fairy?! Thought it was only an Iberian thing!! That's a big Child memory 😄

THIS is why I subbed! Expensive experiments!!! This is what real science is like :D

i love these guys they do everything your not willing to do to your own car so you dont have to you guys are awesome

Heres a tip for you guys out there. Mix sugar in with the fairy. And it cleans your hands better. It adds abrasive qualities to it.

Dump antifreeze in the crankcase and drive it around a few days and the inside will be as clean as a whistle with no engine damage if everything else was OK to begin with,this is from real world experience. In the 1970's Isuzu built a truck engine that had a habit of blowing the head gasket on the rear cylinder where the sealing area was very narrow. This would dump the antifreeze into the crankcase and cause the temperature light to come on. Not knowing what had happened owners would check the radiator find it empty and fill it back up this turned out the temp light for a short while they would then bring the truck to the dealer for repair. In the time these vehicles were driven in this condition the oil and water would have been blended into an emulsion so thick it would not drain out the oilpan plug. This had to be scooped out of the oil pan but the inside of the engine would be as clean as a brand new one from the steam cleaning that had taken place inside the engine.

Does it blow bubbles out the exhaust, that would be fun 😉

I just did this with my coolant system after a head gasket blow out, it does seem to help pull the oil out of the coolant passages

The knowing laugh of, "oh crap", from seeing the foam inside the filter housing is the best part of the whole video for me. A man who's seen some shit and made some mistakes - many for us to watch on purpose. Thank you for this demonstration. Garage 54 is awesome. 🤘

YOU ARE THE MAN - YOU KNOW HOW TO CLEAN UP. DON´T GO FOR EXPENSIVE PRODUCTCTS. YOR CAR WILL RUN ANOTHER HOUNDRED YEARS!

Try dextron 3 AT transmission fluid about 1/4 qt right before an oil change. It works!

Yes you can. I use a pressure washer down the fill hole after draining the oil to get the internals clean.

Thank you for the information provided in the video. The video had a lot of good information that I did not know. I will be replacing my oil more often. Thank you again.

Great funny video!........The Fairy liquid used in this video, looks like the basic version, for low level grease removal, eg kitchen plates. In the UK they sell a heavy duty 'Platinum' version, to removed grease from frying pans and oven trays. I use both in my kitchen and there is a big difference between the two products, though I have never tried them in my car!

i’ve used fairy liquid to clean the water system after replacing faulty oil coolers a couple of times, seems to do the trick getting the sludge out

I am now going to internally clean my Corolla's engine. Thanks!!

Great Video, I once had a friend that had overheating in his hillman so he put half a bottle of dish liquid in the radiator & drove it around for an hour or so. It did not fix the overheating, but boy was it funny watching all the bubbles coming out whilst driving.

Ah.. I see they are using a summer car (no windshield) good idea... Such a great bunch of fellas.. you would have fit in perfectly with us back in the 60's and 70's here in Oregon.. I love this program!

"Can you use dishwashing liquid to clean an engine internally ?" NO, but hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face with mild green fairy liquid.

I Would think diesel fuel would be a better detergent for dirty engines.

Y’all are just wholesome and I love it lol

I love these guys !!! They do the craziest stuff.

Automatic transmission fluid or ATF will clean everything out of the inside of that Engine

I remember working in a shop where the owner would use SuperClean inside the engine..

You guys are so great! Your videos are fantastic. It was nice to see the spanish tv spot on the begining of the video. Cheers!

this guy is funny keep the videos coming! love the experiments!

I think pouring a whole can of sea foam in the crank case is the best cleaner I've saved so many cars that had a massive lifter tick took it completely away

I want to see an engine cleaned with straight industrial degreaser, this should deliver the results that you were expecting with Fairy.

good one mate Reminded me to get new oil Good luck and keep films coming

Another brilliant experiment.

Try doing the same with automatic transmission oil. You'd be surprised how clean it will make the engine.

I'm getting flashbacks to a time when I was having a week off work, and the other half got home early and found a cam cover and cambelt cover in the dishwasher. :) Don't know what she was moaning about. I ran it through 3 full cycles while empty afterwards to make sure it was clean again. :D

Great video from the house of 54. I wanted to see what it looked like when you drained the oil pan

thank you for this PSA as a mechanic I really hate it when people ignore maintenance just the other day I had a car in the shop, some rust repair and work on the exhaust system, but the engine had a weird knock when I started it to leak check the exhaust system I poured in about 2.8-3 liters of oil in an engine that needs about 3.5, the knock got slightly better, but the rod bearing on cylinder 2 is already shot like, is it really that hard to at least check your oil and top it off?

Let’s try Mr bubble in the radiator!

In Russia dishwasher doesn't clean engine, engine cleans dishwasher

This guy is so cool. Love this channel.

Moving into the eighties I see, using a Lada Samara! Hi from NZ, Anthony

I did this to a lawn mower engine when I was young, thinking it would be clean when taken apart. I only created a suds machine.

A video showing a dozen different things people claim to use to clean the inside of engines and how well they work would be a great video I think.

Your videos are great. I was laughing at the foam till the end.

Man I love your videos!

It's my favorite KZfaq channel, Пройект Фарм! :-P

We were doing everything by the book LOL

Inb4 neutral drop kicks in the door with some fabuloso

I used to have 89’ 3 door Lada Samara aka sputnik. That was a car. Just wondering if newer Lada are as robust as good all 2108

13:30 i imagine this is what willy wonka's car would do

I like how he says "oil". It looks like the french word "huile" (" oil ").

This has to be one of the best automotive channels on earth

i use dawn dish soap for grease remover...try it use a bit of water with it ...a heavy squirt to a galon water works good cut the gal to half gal. to clean parts..the water is needed to make the soap work.

I was expecting bubbles out the exhaust!

I wonder how well this would work for degreasing the coolant system after fixing a blown head gasket.

Commarades!!! have you ever done a similar experiment but with diesel or degreaser? would love to see it... I know of bush mechanics here in Australia clean differentials and even flush engines with diesel.But I could never be brave enough to try it on my old car....need it for work ;) but sounds like the perfect project for you guys. Love the show and keep up the great work, you guys are the best.

Vlad I love your channel my friend big fan from new zealand

Here is an idea, Garage54 merch that says "107%"

I have heard rumours about automatic transmission fluid being good for cleaning engines

Also keeping fresh oil on hand and topping up the engine helps a lot.

ive used washing machine powder in a cooling system after head gasket failure, did a brill job.

Would have been cool if it blew bubbles from the exhaust pipe 😂

Now wash dishes with oil.

We used to add Deft clothes soap in radiators to clean out oil in the cooling system after a head gasket was blown.

Great watching your videos you guys really have lots of fun😂😂👍

The real engine cleaner is diesel fuel, flushed my Audi out with it

That was badass! Try the listerine and brake fluid experiments!

I add MMO and run my car a week before ever oil change and have been for 30 years and my car runs perfectly. The MMO thins it out and loosens anything and that comes out with the oil change. Using synthetic oil also helps a ton.

how much compression can you create in the cylinders and should it work ..?. I managed to with 13kg / pair on a Volvo B18 .. 😄 2.5 mm milled away

That first Fairy bottle from the other video I'm not convinced is Fairy, as it looked far thicker than was was used in the test, also a darker yellow. Possibly oil stabilizer like Lucas, which looks very similar. Maybe all a trick?

I seen it done with laundry detergent. It's much more stronger than disk liquid. It blew up.

In the eighties I used fairy liquid to clean all my carbs and engine parts, big washing up bowl filled with hot water and a goodly dose of fairy, bottle brush or scotchbrite pad and allowed to dry, blown through with some air to make sure jets etc clean or bearings nice and dry then back onto the car and its like a new part. SU and Stromberg CD carbs especially liked the washing up liquid cleaning. Same too with my Vespa and Lambretta engines, strip down, into the bowl with soapy fairy suds, scrub scrub, gleam clean, dry and back together and job's a good 'un :D

Yep - my 4G63 on my Stellar used to do this - hear a lifter? Change the oil. This worked for 10 years, and the engine is still (AFAIK) around.

This was awesome thank you

Just love theses guys

Motor oil alrealdy contains detergents. We used to rinse motors by running them very shortly with 10 grade oil for a few seconds and then draining it.

Yup, best thing to do with a gunked up engine is to buy some decent oil (not super cheap but still decent quality), run it for a very short time, like 200 km, then change it again and put in your usual oil. Depending on how bad it is you might want to do several back to back changes within short intervals. The detergents will break down deposits and then get flushed out. Eventually when the oil looks and smells healthy then start changing within the interval listed to spec with your car. Some people like to pour several quarts of very cheap oil directly through the engine to flush out dirty oil, until it starts running clear through the drain plug, but I think that's a waste of good oil. might as well at least get some use out of it, however little use that might be. If it's too caked up, like 75,000km worth of no oil changes, then it might be beyond saving but I have seen some funky engines restored back to health simply by giving back to back short interval changes.

You guys should seperate a Ladas steering wheel and pedals to see how easy/hard it is to drive. So it takes 1 person to steer and another person to operate the accelerator, clutch, and brakes.

Used to drain the oil and add 1 gallon of diesel. Run for a bit, drain, fill with oil. Clean!

These guys are heros

Love your videos👍🏻🔥

what if you added fairy into a tank of diesel? if it ran would it be thinner, how would it affect performance/mpg?

Good experiment

Transmission fluid works pretty well .

It's official: Garage54 turns into Neutral Drop step by step! 😜🤣🤟
