Nice job…. I owned a Chevrolet truck that had a gas engine converted to diesel. It was actually pretty tough. We abused it on a daily basis since it was only a farm runner. Used 90 weight gear lube for engine oil. We would take it into town and run a hose into the throttle body. Then dump tranny fluid in and smoke out the town. Even sunk it in a creek once. Pumped it out, primed the engine and fired it back up. Lol It never laid down in the 10 years we had it. Ended up trading it for a Winchester model 70. Far as I know the guy still has it and drives it from time to time.

[@kaihlis]

Why you all think it has no flywheel :D

[@baladar1353]

@@kaihlis I don't think this engine could be started without a flywheel. On this engine (and almost every car engines) the starter motor rotates the flywheel, which is bolted to the crankshaft. A small starter motor couldn't turn a four cylinder engine's crankshaft, maybe just 'til the first compression stroke. The starter motor has a small gear, while the flywheel is basically a larger gear. The gear ratio between the small and the larger gear makes the starter to be able to turn the crankshaft around, so the engine can start. It seems you know all these, although it's cringy that many viewers don't have any clue about it. This channel isn't for car enthusiasts, at least I think so, it's only for entertaining young guys with some technical bounds.

[@edwatts9890]

Oldsmobile took a swing at that, and it didn't turn out so well.

[@highclasswhitetrash9027]

In the old days they had an ignition system and dual fuel rails to start some of the bigger diesels, it would fire on the gasoline until it built compression, then the operator would close the compression lever, cutting off the gasoline and ignition, and then shunting in diesel. Guess it worked for awhile but they dont do it anymore i dont believe .

[@svetko05]

Might work but it will be very inefficient. Diesels have long stroke, while most gasoline engines don't. Thats why they make more torque and can achieve higher compression.

This episode belongs in a completely different class than most of what I've seen here before, in my opinion. Yes, the amount of precision and planning that went into this conversion is of course impressive, but any mechanic will tell you what they did is theoretically possible, and many (myself included) might believe they could do it themselves. But as we all understand, KNOWING is different than DOING. The young man who took over for Vlad is very knowledgeable and technically creative. I have no doubt it started on the first try.

it's beautiful I love how it works and how I start and accelerate, I always wanted to try to grab a diesel engine and make it run with alcohol, with the same compression relation but taking out the injectors and putting spark plugs, the alcohol has a lot of octane, I think it would have to work and very well, and it would start cold quickly, because the alcohol has problems to turn on at low temperatures, but with that compression I would have to work the first time
