lol. Great point!

Phew! It's safe

Bee JayGee lol 😂

Are you kidding me, people are using Raman noodles as bondo When you power wash your car you'll realize what it's been through

Call it what it is....it's an epoxy compound (resin/hardener)....hardly as comprehensive as a weld. I suppose if there was a busted engine around it would have made for an interesting video

Impressive results! Thanks for sharing.

Dusti Jones ... a radiator leaks?

Fixed my ex's car that had a punctured oil pan with JB weld. It at least lasted 3 months. I don't know if it lasted after that as I left her.

@Don Avan good ol bypass

how is that relevant, to what he has done?

Thanks for sharing.

Incredible! Then move the decimal point right a long way when we look at the way the human body is designed.

I'm 68 and combustible engines are still the most amazing things I've ever seen

Great tip! Thank you

Hi do you think it can hold the spark plug without melting? my spark plug stripped the threads

@@giwtwm Nope. It's going to shoot that plug out of the block like a bullet. The head probably gets around 200C or so. That's within it's service temperature, but still requires you to derate the epoxy. However, it's way worse than that. You now have created an insulating layer between the metal head and the metal threads of the spark plug , which protrudes into the combustion chamber. The plug normally will be hotter than the head, but now it will be even hotter. What you need is a timesert kit. They make a kit specifically for repairing spark plug threads. It's not cheap, but it will make a permanent professional repair. You drill out the hole to the proscribed size, then use special tap that is supplied to tap new threads. The use the supplied tool to thread the insert in and expand the bottom of it into the hole locking it in place. I would price getting the kit vs having it done. It might be cheaper to have it done. It shouldn't be more than an hours labor. Probably less if they charge in smaller increments. If the head is on the engine, then you have to make sure the metal shavings don't get in there. The way to do that is to start with the cylinder at the bottom of the compression stroke. Get a grease gun and fill the cylinder with some sort of grease. Doesn't really matter what kind. Petroleum jelly could probably work too. Now fix the threads. Then, take a shop vac and a fat drinking straw and carefully suck out as many of the shavings as you can. Then rotate the engine forward a bit so the plug hole fills up again and vacuum some . Keep doing that until you get to the top of the cylinder. The squirt some carb cleaner in there to help dissolve the grease. Reinstall the plug and start it.

@@michaelallen1432 i have an insert but its just an ordinary one from china, unlike time sert it doesnt have the thing that expands the bottom threads my problem is everytime i took out the spark plug the inserts come with it i need a way to make the insert stay in the head permanently and sadly timesert is not available in my country

Just as I expected….my experience with JB weld has not been great…recent;y bought some metal repair adhesive for about a 1/10 of the price of JB weld on Temu..it works as well if not better but has limitations for sure

Thank you!

It didn't under ignition! You can see the very moment proper ignition took place and that's when it failed. The earlier clip was just the drill rotating it and the sound was just compression, but no ignition!

Alexander, this is a great video project idea--thank you!

35% virgin vinegar

Alexander v oil is oil it will work. And it will smell good. I have seen car engines with canola oil ran in them they smelled like French fries.

@Tammy Forbes Were those Diesel engines? Yes, it does work in Diesels when the oil's hot enough.

Thank you for the feedback

Thanks so much!

Thank you for the video idea!

Yup i remember that episode its on the beginning of the intro too

The MacGyver episode was called "Trumbo's World" and Mac improvised an arc welder with a silver coin and a generator if I recall correctly to weld together the connecting rod from the engine of a water pump. The plot of the overall episode was a remake of "Leiningen Versus the Ants", a short story by Carl Stephenson.

It was a nickel not silver.

@@robertpolicastro1 If I recall correctly after repairing the connecting rod Mac says something like "The power of the American dollar... Half dollar, actually". Depending on the year, US half dollar coins have been minted in 90% silver 10% copper, 40% silver 60% copper, or cupro-nickle (copper/nickle) composite so saying either silver or nickle could be correct depending on the year of the coin - and Mac was not so helpful to tell us what year coins he was using!

You are welcome!

Appreciate that!

Connor, Thank you very much for the positive comment! Also, glad you're getting back into small engines. It's a lot of fun!

If you want to kill some time, take a few seconds to know the difference between defiantly and definitely.

I knew that he used the wrong word but I let it go. We didn't all get the same education, chill.

Trump is The Man 2020 Baby ...With All That said Lets Watch this Cool video

Connor Hunter can't kill a Briggs , (excluding what this guy does) so they're great to play around with

I agree! When the rod snapped, it bent the forged aluminum into an oval shape, making it nearly impossible to put back together in the proper shape. Thanks for commenting!

maybe you can jb weld where the bolts go in a different rod just to see it it can do it

they usually do bend when they go....... so.....if you get REALLY lucky you might get a clean and straight break

thechosendude That was my first thought to. Two parts to glue together not six. Not the journal. I wouldn't expect it to run a long time but some oil should help

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Geremy, This is an impressive repair! Thanks for commenting!

Aye, that would be impressive. ;)

That's a wicked repair! I think that the change from reciprocating to rotating motion makes a huge difference for longevity

He didn't machine the crankshaft or rod bearing, I'm surprised it moved at all.

I agree too Project Farm,I just recently subscribed to your channel a day or two ago,and have loved all the tests/experiments You've accomplished so far!!! Very cool!!! Keep it going My Friend!!!

Wow, thank you!

lol. It was a fun test. It actually fired up and held for a very short period of time, which is amazing

Should have made a complete connecting rod from JB Weld

You always ask for idea's so here's mine. How about some lessons on engine repair or rebuilding one. Im always looking to learn.

Glad you found it interesting!

Thank you very much for the positive comment! I sure wish I had a rotary engine to use in a video project.

@@ProjectFarm my, hasn't this aged like wine :)

How about a wanker up and down engine?

How about a "liquid piston" engine. It swaps the rotor and stator shapes. A flat elipse rotor turns in a tri-lobe chamber that has a combustion bowl on the corners. It's solved most of the Wankel issues and is very efficient. liquidpiston.com/technology/how-it-works/ Who knows why we have not seen them on the market.

make a boat anchor after 50K

Thank you!

You are right! Thank you

I am grateful for the clip, it helps me enormously in choosing the right epoxy for a project I am building. Cheers John

It literally lasted about 0.1 of a sec after ignition took over and it was actually taking the force of the explosion inside the piston and not just being rotated by a drill!! LMAO!!

That sound in the earlier clip is just the compression during it being rotated by a drill not the engine running!

Bradley, this is a great video project idea. Thanks!

There is already a video done. "SPOILER" It worked for a few minutes if I recall correctly.

Project Farm no problem man it might have to set for a while though so the inside cures completely but I bet you it would probably hold for a little while

I bet if he looked at the failure it wasn’t in the products ability to “hold” onto the metal, rather the JB weld itself failed. That’s partially because it needs tensile strength. Much like cement needs rebar. Same for fiberglass and resin. I would cast it with JB Weld and carbon fiber chopped up fibers.

Impressive results!

Thank you

Thank you very much for the positive comment and for the test idea!

Brake cleaner is a great suggestion. I greatly appreciate this recommendation! Thanks again!

BlackFlyerRed88 MRWatson I agree. Brake cleaner will dry the metal out better. But regardless, the outcome would be the same because the rod broke in the threaded part. No chance of it staying together. Now if if had failed further up towards the piston, it may have lasted a few seconds if enough jb weld was built up.

Kfx Guy, great point regarding the failure location making it nearly impossible to last.

And as far as deoiling/degreasing goes, hows about denatured alcohol?

Lewie, I'll try using denatured alcohol.

I think a NASA engineer would have done the maths/physics first and realised that jb weld was definitely not the material to use and that it literally stood no chance at all! Not even a remote one lol!!! But yea I can see the similarities between NASA and project farm 🤨

Wow, thanks!

@@ProjectFarm I work with Structural Adhesives of many kinds, including various 3M products and JB Weld. Though I still do not think it would have helped on this occasion, the process described by Rachel can often help, but only if the holes are drilled at alternating angles (not straight). When set, what you have then created is referred to as 'Tooth Adhesion'.

@@Mike_Hughes It’s the same thing with painting and coating, it’s why we sand surfaces especially flat non porous surfaces like metal doors and whatnot. If you don’t sand or scuff the surface the paint can peel right off, same with epoxy floors they get acid etched or ground before coating. The paints are getting so good nowadays that they dry so hard anyways, but it is important regardless especially if there’s grease or dirt on the surface

Ya oand maybe by covering the entire outside as well

Thank you for the positive comment!

Thank you for the video idea!

I’ll spend a lot of time and make some nice fillets . Tig weld that thing and we might get 5 min out of it . With out a load . I like and need to see videos like this because I like to know the limits of the products available. Even if it’s very obvious that it will break but I want to know how long till it breaks . Lol .

Anyone tried jb weld on a John Deere plastic fuel tank that leaks at the tank drain fitting?

@@makingcookingfixing That probably was because of too high temperature (over 400 deg c) or bad Al soldering rod. I used one to fix my cracked oil pan on my car and holds up really well. Actually a good Al soldering is stronger than the Al itself, so my bet is it would work if it is made well.

@@makingcookingfixing They are not that good but not terrible. It needs constant temperature which is high enough but not too high, this is the hard part, and a lot depends on the aluminum itself. If it is an alloy, then the result is not guaranteed. Because this is not a welding but a soldering technique, diffusion happens instead of welding. But it worked for me the first time, though it needed some practice. I've used 300 deg C rods. They say 400 deg C is a bit better, but since the surface was large (sinks heat very fast) and I didn't have just two propane torches and an oil pan is not having much mechanical force applied I went with the 300 rods. They are handy for sure, try again!

Impressive results!

no prob i was just wondering cuz i run my redone mower straight piped and idk how to do some tests on it, it would be great if you could get a good video on it and see what happens. thank you

chevylover xr80 I made a glass Pac muffler for my lawn mower but it wouldn't start there was too much back pressure

chevylover xr80 in a recent survey, it was revealed that most neighbours secretly love the sound of a straight through pipe, on a mower is a good start, but you really need something like an old dodge charger, , 😀

Except you forgot to mention those neighbors interviewed all live outside a NASCAR track...lol!

Thank you for the feedback

Thanks for sharing.

Great point. Thank you

I suppose if you had a fracture that exposed a lot of metal surface area and the part wasn't under tension you could JBW it, which is what I presume happened to the "guy" who fixed an engine block on their packaging "testimonial". Other than that, _Harbor Freight's $2 epoxy_ is sterner stuff.

Hans, thank you for commenting!

@@ProjectFarm Or what about substituting JB-Weld for those two bolts you used, then testing it. That way you could test using a new connecting rod rather than the bent one.

Err the con rod will be considerably shorter !
