World's First CONCRETE Piston! Major Success?

[@110Garage]

We may or may not have a 4 stroke quad for the next test subject 🤔 Let us know what we should do with it!

[@TRUNORCALTRAILRIDDER]

Make a wooden piston for the 4 stroke like a sawdust particleboard type idea 💡 idk 😄

[@Bartskarts]

A piston built from rcv and plastic....

[@chrisyork6705]

So i know this wouldnt involve printing anything… but have a piston machined from a “billet” of marble or some other rock

[@braydenshelton968]

Make one out of solder

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Have a machine shop machine a mold and try to make your own casting from bronze or lead

[@marcritter1]

Use the mold and fill it with JB WELD!!!!!!!!! JB WELD PISTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JB WELD !!!!!!!!

[@brycemorgan2381]

A common trick I use to help with a low compression engine to see how it runs. I use some oil on the piston. Pour it down the spark plus take up extra ring spacing. Smoky but works

[@3_Turner]

Can vouch, did it on my last built motor. Oil holds just enough to get that initial compression going.

[@Steve-sxsblogparts]

We tried, it helped but wasn't quite enough

[@eldoradoboy]

yeppers thats how I would always tell if I had a ring issue or a valve issue... ring issue id see great increase in compression.. valve issue id see minimal increase

[@SpaceSpiderX]

You guys needed to do a polished concrete piston with sealer enamel on it. It would be beautiful and probably run for a spell.

[@digger450r]

you could try adding fiberglass fibers to the cement for strength. it also takes about a week for concrete to hit half strength and a month for full strength. I also think you'd be better off trying to cut the ring grooves rather than molding them

[@russbilzing5348]

A fiberglass window screen would do a tolerable job if it were spiraled or soaked and wadded, then vibrated in the mold, I imagine.

[@arttukunelius]

Yeah and for maximum strenght the part should be cured under water or kept moist until the 1 month mark

[@BifsieOfficial]

EXACTLY! The comment said "reinforced concrete" not normal cheap stuff. They didn't even do the suggestion right. This needs to be redone correctly with a fiber-reinforced concrete such as Fibercrete.

Camera to Steve “I don’t know shit about concrete” that made my day you guys make great content lol

[@richb8282]

Try hydraulic cement . Cures much faster,stronger, smoother, not permeable (waterproof), and no rocks. Lowe’s and hd both have it

[@azdeserthobbies2047]

I was going to suggest the same thing we use hydraulic cement to fix toilet flanges set up quick gets very hot super hard and durable

[@Kaylashton]

Doesn't matter if it ran for 4 seconds or if it ran for 4 hours. It ran with a concrete piston. Absolute champions.

Get a mold made so you can make a glass piston.

Temper it properly and it would last a surprisingly long time

Lol real science was making them out of light weight aluminum and realizing they last for thousands of hours. This is literally going backwards. My 10 year old saw this and said that wouldn't last at all. I hugged him and told him how proud I was to have so much common sense at a young age like we did generations ago !!!

[@gregbell496]

Steve try an epoxy piston

[@tylerzimmer5342]

Epoxy and resin piston

[@iankenney6515]

Try some type of "ironwood". I built a deck out of Ipe. Pain in the ass to work with. You have to pre drill every hole with special bits then buy non standard decking screws or both will just snap.

[@stevenwinters57]

Epoxy piston, steel, or brass wrist pin bushings, aluminum burn plate on the top. I wanna see how long you can get it to run like that!

[@Jeremy_Adams]

It was absolutely entertaining regardless! To see Steve’s Brian go to work is entertaining itself! Awesome group effort, can’t wait for the next insane idea you come up with!

[@ryanhogan8074]

Really great. Loved it. Back to screwing around like the early videos. Been a fan since the yz. This is great. I would love a 110 tee shirt about a concert piston.

[@82leone]

I love Steve he is the mad scientist of the Blog 😎👍

[@thadbessinger5694]

Steve cool as hell nice first attempt. Fiberglass reinforcement in the concrete. You need stronger concrete and a lot longer cure time. 30 days minimum. Cut the ring grooves in with diamond saw. Polish head. Might be worth sealing concrete as well prior to running it. Possibly have a pro mix designer on the concrete. Box store is a mistake. Love it!

[@wurthmannd024]

22:35 have you seen the mightycarmods video where they were applying grease like this, but feet also came into the frame xD

[@Darkgrabba]

Fill the same molds up with some two part epoxy or marine Tex

Jb weld piston!!! Or bondo piston!!!!!!! Jb bondo weld piston!!!!!!!! Killin it guys. Love watching this kind of stuff with you guys in your natural state 😆

[@What_Willy_Do]

Concrete takes 28 days to cure but I love it anyways

[@52Ford]

Same. I did sorta feel like shouting at the screen the first few times they said cured instead of dried. Still cool, though.

[@allenrhodes]

Correct 7 days for 50% and 28 days for 100%. And many people believe the rock in concrete gives strength but its main purpose is to absorb heat

[@pastaalalamborghini]

A little fibermesh 150 would have helped too. Not as much as actually waiting for it to cure but had they actually done so, the fibermesh instead of the lint trap or whatever would have been a big help

[@coreyurban1761]

The rocks are mostly just to make it cheaper you'll hear that 95% of the time from the owners I've been laying concrete for 27 years now and I've heard them say that to the customers lmfao 😂​@@allenrhodes

What about using your mold and pressure injecting gasket maker. Make a rubber piston.

Maybe try making a piston with 3d printed ceramic, it can be hardened and can withstand high heat

[@Baigle1]

The future of tensile, compressive, and hardness super materials 😉

[@Crimsonwlf22]

if they do this they should oversize it a bit, because it will definitely shrink when kiln dried, and then cut it/sand it to proper dimensions very carefully

[@pieceofparadise9338]

14:51 I’m thinking you should’ve cut the mold away with a hacksaw or bandsaw to minimize the shock of breaking the mold.

Jb weld is kinda fragile. It will crack fairly easily.

im on JB weld train. but on side note the concrete need 4 weeks to harden. so pull from mold wrap in a wet rag. and re-wet rag daily.

He's actually accurate and everything he's doing slush casting is where you rotate your cast to make a thin layer around the interior then you build up layer by layer. Add vibrations to reduce bubble accumulation.
