Hey Destin, thank you for this insightful video! It's thoughtful of you to include a sponsorship ad that doesn't really feel like and ad. Just wishing you could include something of value to those of us who aren't Apple fanatics and prefer not to buy into that (dare I say overpriced?) ecosystem.

I wish I watched destin, or anyone like him, when I was in high school. He's an awesome role model

How is ASU mech in your opinion?

The hero we all needed, glad I went to the comments! Thanks

Yes! This should be pinned. I was hoping Brian would have pointed it out since he built it and would have had to know it in order to have it firing in order.

BrIan was being nice, not telling Destin that he was wrong LOL

Yeah, probably, and I was being nice by correcting him. Which do you think Destin would prefer? ;D @@yoyomatafaka

awesome, I thought it was unusual to say they fired in order. Didn't make sense. But your comment makes a lot of sense!

I wouldn't go as far as to say "Destin knows exactly how a combustion engine works and what the names of all the parts are"... NOT at all trying to be a jerk, but this just happens to be what I work with for a living, and I can point out a few errors in this vid, alone... (ex: air doesn't get "blown" through the venturi... it get's sucked through it ... The bit with the "firing order" was absolutely wrong... and more) Like I said though... Not trying to be a jerk. Just saying, he's learning too, so I wouldn't take everything he says as "fact" when it come to ICE's.

@@billymanilliwait, how would I know if you’re right? If I can’t trust the video, why should I trust a stranger in a comment section? Is there some kind of website or source for your information on this like actual facts?

@KryptonKr no internal combustion engines are a complete mystery there is no way to check if what he's saying is factual

@@billymanilli And here is the different view of science and handcraft. There is no "suction force", its always the balancing between high and low pressure. So technically it is kind of "blowing".

@@KryptonKr It's amazing how everyone is on a computer and how many still don't know how to type something into a search engine and start reading. Do you really need to be spoon fed websites? Go to google and type in firing order for what ever engine you choose and there will be a million or more websites showing the info you want.....wtf!

Came here hoping someone caught that, that's extremely impressive!

I caught it as well, but it is normal to me also. When I cut drywall, I snap a chalk line and freehand my knife along the line and do the same for cutting sheets of plywood or concrete siding, staying within a 16th of an inch of the line down a sheet of material. It takes a lot of patience to work with acrylic. It is similar to wood but also cracks and of course scratches easily, which is a big deal for something you want to see through. I have only done a little bit with it. The thing with building is that it is easier to see the results of the skill of a person. People in other industries/hobbies have their own strengths where they easily do what is a hard task to a beginner, but there isn't always a good visual representation of it.

@@CGT80 It is incredibly *not* normal to me. I have spent years off-and-on trying to do stuff with my hands, and it always comes out "close enough" to work, but never right or show-worthy. The amount of respect I have for people like you and Brian is immeasurable. "I just do it free hand". Psh, I could have a CNC and it'd still come out 1/16" over and out of square.

I always wanted one of those!

I had a few as a child, I absolutely LOVED putting them together. Those kits helped me learn everything I know today about engines. I do all of my maintenance and upkeep at home if I can manage doing it myself.

i built one with my grandpa sadly though, the engine is in disrepair and missing a few parts....

I had one of those growing up, and sitting at the kitchen table assembling it with my dad is one of those core memories I will never forget. Its what got me into engines and fast cars.

I had one also. The distributor cap and wires out to the wheat lights for the spark plugs. Unfortunately they recommended using vegetable oil to grease the thing and that didn't sit too well with the plastic and gummed up the works. Regardless, it was a great learning tool that taught me how engines work.

What's the name of the channel?

That’s some good asset management

Facts tho.

Mechanical things are awesome, you can actually see them instead of just imagining (unlike darned computers which is what I work with, nothing much to see here)

@@monad_tcp Never used a logic analyzer? You can see everything that's going on too, especially in older systems where all the memory is external to the processor and you can just watch the system bus and see the instructions and data all pass by. On newer processors where some memory is integrated to the CPU, and there's caches so not every instruction is visible on the external bus, you need to use a debugger to see it all. You also need to disable all of the caches so you can see all of the instructions / data being fetched or written.

@@gorak9000 The thing with computers is that its hard to actually get a grip of exactly how things happen with the 1 and 0's unlike mechanical things which are very intuitive, if you see them in action you will most likely understand them. Maybe that's just me but i grew up with a huge interest for everything PC And mechanical engines/motor related.

John 14:6 NLT - Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

@@gorak9000 that was the point, you can’t see, hear (in most cases) or feel what is going on, you need to use tools that convert it into something you can see.

Was going to say if it was actually in order front to back it would shake like mad.

Not an LS expert, but I was VERY suspicious to hear them say it should basically fire in a circle, and claim a misfire. Glad to know I was right to question.🤣 (Plus it didn’t look like a misfire, as all 8 lit in a stable rhythm and stayed in the same sequence.)

that is correct for ls motor . 18436572 is old school Gm v8 as well as many AMC and Chrysler, GM swap 4,7 and 3,2 for LS engines, which to the best of my knowledge is the only v8 with this firing order 18726543, and then ford has 3 main firing orders, old school 15486372 , 15426378 and more modern 13726548 which pretty much covers the gambit of all American v8 for the most part

I came to the comments to also point out reduced crankshaft torsional vibration was the main reason GM adopted the LS engine's 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 firing order and that the video shows it doing exactly that.

Correct!@@JoseDeBardi

I agree! I had a Ford probe gt turbo with a 5 speed and adjustable suspension....I LOVED that car it was so much fun to drive! fast, fun, and I had great mileage too!

Turbos and superchargers just force more air into the cylinders creating a bigger explosion creating more power

And to continue what @FloridaGrown9327 explained Nitrous Oxide delivers more oxygen to the engine in addition to what a supercharger or turbocharger can provide (one can use Nitrous Oxide [NO2] without a 'charger), but only in a short burst instead of consistently since it's spraying a limited amount of gas instead of just taking oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere and compressing/forcing it into the engine. The combination of the two also has the benefit of cooling the "charge" (the incoming compressed air from the 'charger) which is usually really hot (hundreds of degrees F, under heavy load the pipes will glow red or orange), and a colder charge is denser, so more oxygen is provided at once which creates a more intense explosion. This is the function of an intercooler which is just a big radiator that sits between the 'charger and the engine's intake manifold and will provide consistent cooling, unlike NO2. Combine those three ('charger, intercooler, and NO2) and you have a recipe for a ridiculous amount of power. You have to beef up a lot of the engine and surrounding parts to make it handle the ridiculous amount of power being produced though. You're looking at a good $10,000-$20,000 upgrade to do it right, otherwise your engine block may literally explode. I've seen videos where guys sent a piston through the engine's head!

Edit for ya. Flip "things you know well" and "things you are unfamiliar with" to avoid the "with, with" trip.

When I saw what Brian had made, I knew I needed to make the trip and get the deep dive. Awesome stuff!

@@smartereveryday Its gorgeous. My favorite part has to be the oil pump and distribution system, because that truly gives you a feel for how an engine gets the oil to where it needs to be. Thanks, as always, Destin, for taking us on the journey.

I agree, this takes everything I've learned about engines over the years. (I don't know anything about engines so that's not that hard of a task.)

Nebraska IS the GOOD life! :)

For a typical crossplane V8, don't know the specific model of this engine of course

I agree that the firing order is not always straightforward, but it looks as if he's just using a magnet on the timing gear, so it will just go in a circle, and he's wired it so that each cylinder fires in sequence... but the magnet is pulling that switch early. It looked like it was actually firing twice as much as the other ones in that bank. I mean, since we aren't actually worried about balance and harmonics, etc the firing order can really be whatever you want.

@@TehZombishSure, we are not worried about balance here, but if you look when the ambient light is on, actually the firing of the third cylinder from left on the second bank (the one he points as "misfiring"), fires once every two times it reaches TDC, which checks out, and the firing order of that second bank, numbering from left to right is 1-3-2-4, which is coherent with a crossplane V8. I guess that if Brian exactly replicated (the cables going to the plug w.r.t. the position on the timing belt) such model of engine, it may be indeed correct:)

The cylinder numbers on an LS engine are like this: front, right is number 1. Front left, number 2. Second from front, right, number 3. Second from front, left, number 4. And so on. The firing order is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3.

Standard LS firing order is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 [Right bank numbered 1-3-5-7, Left bank numbered 2-4-6-8]. So this is weird for an LS, even with a 4/7 swap. Older Chevys and Oldsmobiles used 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 which is what this looks like, just with R and L bank numbers switched.

was going to mention the work of Garage54 here too LOL

You got a link fam?

Ijeaaah but you gotta admit. This is not something that could be done by everybody who just happens to be smart enough and interested in it. There are smart people out there who can never experience the freedom of such a garage, lift and tools for one. Having a large garage and a nice assortment of reliable tools is just... *mwah* chefs kiss! for creative engineering or personal projects. Not many have that opportunity. Not even in America, certainly not in Europe.

yeah that kind of people is not lefties stupidity no brain people, and left government and supporters is ruining the states

Thats sorta how I work on engines and build stuff. But what your describing seems more like how NikolaiTelstar invented things, he basically CAD designed his invention in his head before even thinking about putting the idea on paper

This is something I've come to appreciate more as I get older. There's a huge gap between knowledge and understanding. We all know lots of stuff, but its difficult to truly understand how stuff works without hands on experience or a good teacher. Destin does a great service by widening our understanding of topics most of us have knowledge of.

@@dengar96 Too top it off he does it for free.

A broken timing chain or belt will not always break the engine, look up the difference between an interference motor, and a non interference motor.

@@dengar96i agree ive known like the very basic idea of how a engine works but this let me understand a whole lot better

Timing is very important for the performance of an engine, but, as big john mentioned, not all engines suffer from bent valves and dinged up or worse pistoms from a timing oopsie. Some are designed with this event in mind, and have enough room between the piston at its highest point and the valves at their lowest point to avoid piston to valve contact if the worst happens. A believe a fairly modern example of an engine with this safety consideration is the Toyota 2ZR-FE, found in Corollas and Priuses.

Your grandfather seems like a great man. Rest in peace, he’s definitely left a part of himself in you.

Im confused? Why are you commenting boble quotes? Its just bizarre!@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1

That's very generous. I hope someone takes you up on it. Those transparent models are incredible. I built a Revell "Visible V-8" with my dad when I was 10 years old in 1986. It was a 1:4 scale V-8 engine model that ran off batteries and even had little "Christmas tree" lightbulbs simulating the spark plugs. It was very much like the model in this video, only smaller with all plastic parts. It was one of the most educational projects I ever completed, and it taught me how a 4-stroke engine works. It remains such a valuable experience all these years later, as well as one of my favorites memories of spending time with my dad. They still make those "running" V-8 models, along with several other variations of IC engines. I recommend anyone, child or adult, to have a go at building one.

I see a camshaft as something that has a bunch of ones and zeros engraved into it

I've always viewed them as a form of analog computer. They control which way the engine spins. You can make a reverse rotation engine by grinding a reverse pattern cam. Common in boats. They control valve opening and closing, obviously, but they can also control minute things about that. Valve timing overlap, opening and closing rates, total open distance all control an engine's optimal RPM power output. You can technically make a 2 stroke engine. They did also make 6 and 8 stroke pump engines. Suck-squeeze-bang-blow-pump-pump....

That is sad if true.

This is the best visual aide I've ever seen.

Definitely need something to demonstrate the tolerances between the bearings and the crankshaft itself and how the oil moves around under pressure

I agree. Magnetic switches are an elegant solution.

@@smartereverydaythat Cutlass was pretty cool too! When he hammered it, that’s a great feeling! I could feel the power through my phone 😂

They actually have a follow-up, where the new engine block actually worked for a long(-ish) time. But they didn't want to run it until it gets destructed by the heat, so we'll probably hear about it again!

Would be nice to see this for a automatic transmission...

You should look into some of the incredibly complex mechanics of late stage steam locomotives, the ones built in the 1930s and 1940s, in terms of mechanical complexity they make combustion engines look pretty tame.
