Try technical vaseline. It's melting point is way lower than the melting point of grease. The vaseline should stay in it's liquid form while the engine is operating.

You need to fill an engine with bacon grease. Project farm has done it with a lawn mower, but a full size car would be awesome. Plus it will SMELL AMAZING!!

a pressure gauge with a little lower scale than 500psi might help 😆

The pump is completely able to push the grease through the system! The problem is suction! The viscosity of the grease is what prevents the pump from getting grease by allowing a path to air.

Hey guys, have you ever tried running an engine on GRAPHITE Powder? Add a fair amount of graphite powder to existing engine oil then after a good run, drain the oil and watch how long it holds without seizing. Thank you guys for the awesome videos. keep it up

Like the blue/yellow wheels…. Nice touch

Paused just when Vlad said to do so. As a mechanic myself, I'm pretty convinced that it's gonna keep on running for a while, but some damage must've taken place. Also, great video guys!

The filter has a built in bypass valve that opens when the difference in inlet oil pressure is high enough over the filter outlet pressure, to prevent the filter from stopping flow to the engine when clogged. Replacing the filter made no difference because the filter bypasses the grease as soon as it clogs, when any grease reaches the filter, since the problem is pump intake.

When you basically have to heat the stuff to autoignition temperature, it's clear from the beginning you're going to have problems using it as lubricant.

Have you tried differential fluid/gear oil. 80w90 or 90w140 like we have in hotter climates? I also think the Lada has life left. A bit of diesel or cleaners in the crank case would clean it right out and 1 or 2 oil changes will do the job.

Try replacing the oil pump with a electric grease gun and try this again.

Not sure why but I expected this to be done with the grease heated way up and used as a fuel. Was scratching my head trying to figure out how that'd be possible

For cleaning out the grease you should have filled the crank case with diesel and let it run for at least 1 hr

I did this with a lawn mower but mixed 90w gear oil and grease 50/50, it stopped smoking and rattling , then I mixed 90w gear lube 20:1 for a two stroke lawn mower it doubled the compression and made it more difficult to start, but golly did it ever go.

My history teacher once told me, that he as a young mechanic was told to put a couple of bananas into the gearbox of a Lada Niva with bad synchronizers. Apparently it worked, and the gearbox shifted better. Would be interesting to see you test this claim. Who knows, - maybe bananas will work on a bad diff as well?

I used lithium grease as an assembly lube as I had nothing else at hands. It seems to work pretty well and rince of pretty fast as the engine heat up.

You guy never seem to never failed to impressed looking forward to more keep on keeping

Years ago I read a story in some classic car magazine where a columnist discussed an experience he had when a young man in the 1950's. He and a friend had an old car on a road trip to get home as broke college kids. They were driving a 1930's model Ford model B if I can remember right. Anyways on the trip the engine had a bad oil leak. Back in the old days service stations would sell filtered USED motor oil for a dirt cheap price. The guys stopped constantly like every 20-50 miles adding quarts of oil to replace what was being lost quickly. Finally they got sick of it and told a service station worker to pump the entire engine full of grease. The claim is after this they made in the rest of the trip and made it home just fine. Although it wasn't only maybe 50-100 miles. Back then I don't think oil filters were a thing. And I'm sure tolerences in the bearings were quite large.

Vlad bro I’m from America, I watch every video y’all make, just want to send much love to you and everyone in the shop, oh and of course it’s gonna run, it’s a LADA! lol 😂

should try Castor Oil like engines from the olden days and maybe aircraft grade single weight oils both 50 weight & 70 weight oils or run an engine on Rear Differential Oil

Should add some diesel to the grease. It would break down the grease enough to allow it to melt at a way lower temp

Hell yeah I've always wondered what happen when one does this lol so glad you did it so I didn't have to make a mess in my driveway lol

I use thickest synthetic I can get plus sticky additive to get through annual environutter emmissions inspection.

You should drop the 3 compression ring pistons into the diesel injection pump Lada and see if it performs even better. Higher compression and better atomization can't ever go wrong.

Very interesting 👌 👍. At least the engine still works 💪.

Love this guy's videos

Everyone says brake fluid will strip paint, can you try it please

Surely oil-based house paint would work nicely as an alternative engine oil. I wonder which color would perform best.

Here in the states we have a thing called a funnel. My I suggest that you get one.

We have Lucas Oil Treatment for this in the states. Many have accused it of being fancy gearbox oil.

Wouldn't adding a quart of conventional motor oil into the heated grease slowdown if not stop the grease from thickening back up?

Good luck getting it out!

OMG ! - It looks just like Chinese takeaway curry sauce at 3:01

You guys are great.

What if you fill the engine with it. Like when you pack a barring

finally a not broken car, can you guys make some more of these videos.

Love your video's!

6:10 that Lada doesn't look too happy

#00 Grease might work better. Fun stuff, thanks as always.

Weld a couple of fittings for heater elements in the pan running around with a 10 kw v twin to keep the grease hot . Try lard , melts lower and insulation on the pan .

Thanks for sharing 👍😀

The grease probably cleaned up alot of carbon deposits and no doubt the bit left over dissolved in the oil making it thicker and lubing the piston rings I wonder how the cylinder compression went

*has 1 pound of oil pressure* “oh yea boy, that’s some good stuff, plenty of pressure” *has 0 pounds* “oh crap that’s not good it’s gonna blow aaaaahhhhh”

Wow, bet the garage garage smelt funky after that.

Should of run the exhaust over the sump to soften the grease so it would flow to the oil pickup, put a dummy oil filter on as grease is too thick to pass through the filter paper. Fit a high pressure pump and install a very strong spring in the bypass pressure release to force the grease through the system at 200psi

Run a Lada on sunflower oil! Wait, the supply just disappeared.

interesting video. thanks guys

Remaining at the cutting edge of scientific research...awesome

What’s amazing is seeing customer engines actually sludges up worse than this😂

I knew a guy in 1995 did that to his Chevy in Columbus Ohio he told me the next day after his engine froze up and I tore down and rebuilt his engine lots of damage after his stunt lol I am interested to see what happens if you stop while the engine still works.

Try paraffin wax, if you are going the solid lubricant way. With a melting point closer to 50 °C, it should be way more manageable than grease.

I use to put news paper in front of radiator to get motor to run hotter in winter so the Heater was hotter for comfort might to get hotter enough to keep grease liquid

maybe try doing this and weld the exhaust to the oil pan or run the exhaust pipe through the oil pan (whole pipe) somehow (in a safe manner) to keep the grease liquid.

Maybe try straight STP, motor honey, or other similar oil additive in an engine.

What happens when you replace the oil with transmission fluid?

if you can get the oil into all of the system maybe the oil will be thicker as the grease dilutes the oil hence force less smoke out of the exaust

It'll run. Some bearing damage. Rings a bit already and eventually. But it'll run. Early stage.

Can you replace conrod bearings with ball bearings?

Che idea geniale,non me lo ero nemmeno mai domandato 😲 !

Same process but use Vaseline. Much lower melting. Or maybe thread a grease pump for a shop and plumb to the central port of the filter.

What about other types of grease with lower melting points? Like butter or margarine?

grease mixed with oil is used in some older engines.

Heat the oil pump and a heater in the oil pan.

Try graphite and low viscosity oil! 😃

Hi guys. Can you test welding the broken teeths of a shot gear box? How much will it last and take abuse?

I wanna see this engine get cleaned out and experimented on further

WHAT about using half oil and half grease. A grease that does not have fibers will have a better chance to flow.

You guys are funny and entertaining

I’d love to see a Lada modded to look like a train with connecting rods and more wheels. Bonus points for sound effects and taking it out on the street.

always heard bananas added to a noisy diff would remove the noise enough to be able to sell the car. never tested it myself tho.

I agree with some others, using Vaseline to replace engine oil would be great experiment!

Wouldn't surprise me if it ran better after being cleaned, and having oil placed back in.

use a 12vdc water heater element to preheat the grease in the oil pan.

You would at least think that the oil pressure would at least come up a little bit when the grease started to cool down a little bit.

One year later and we’re still in turbulent times guys . Soon we’ll all be living like yourselves, battling against the dictators and winging it ❤🇬🇧

Its going to have life left because those engines are really good

As good as that was burning got me wondering if it would be possible to add a second set of supper large injectors and a high pressure pump to a diesel engine to run on grease. I know they run on cooking oil so it wouldn't be that wild of an idea but a neat build tho. Especially as talented as yalls builds are.

I don't know my thoughts are the bearings are already smoked, being since they ride on a thin film of oil and not actually metal on metal contact itself if there is zero oil pressure I don't believe the bearings got away with it.

Mix 50/50 wheel bearing grease and automatic trans fluid!

with these expensive prices for gasoline and diesel in Europe you should try alternative fuels like alcohol or paint thinner or maybe palm oil?

My brother put 500ml of high speed bearing grease in his engine with 4l of oil. The engine had bad rings and it cleaned up most of the blue smoke. He then quickly sold the car to a neighbour and it still was running after a year till the lads mum drove through a brick wall.

Next you could try Chocolate Pudding with a little extra water mixed in to keep from globbing. That's slippery stuff.

Lmao!!! I love your crazy videos.

Pause prediction: With the liquid grease getting everywhere before gelling, I think the engine will be fine minus some piston scoring by the rings with no lube.

The irony of having an ads of caltex diesel engine oil!

Perhaps a heating element on the oil pan would have kept it in a liquid state longer

Hi Guys at Garage 54 from Australia! This video gave me the thought... Can you run an engine on degreaser in place of the oil or grease? To flush and clean the internals of an engine? And what would be the outcome? Would it cause excess wear on the bearings, cylinder walls etc. And would it actually flush and clean the internals of the engine???

You should try butter next time lol

Dry chemical extinguisher deprives the fire of oxygen

What happens if you replace the engine oil with petrol or diesel? Can you test that?

Might be a good way to preserve an engine for storage.

You guys need to try tar natural tar like from the Los Angeles tar pits in Los Angeles California.

have they tried using used engine oil as fuel ? i know it works but whats the prosess like ?

Better use Petroleum for flushing, works very good.

Put piston rings backwards we want to see what happens.will it pump oil in compression chamber.

Love your show brilliant, all the best from uk 🇬🇧 to Russia 🇷🇺

Reading the comments in Russian only? It's official, Garage54 has enacted their own special operations :P

First I thought it was going to work because modern engines run hotter at 230 degrees. And now after running it should be fine as it was running when you turn it off. But whatever damage or ware has Ben done if any.

Glass brake discs 🤣
