Back in the day that no spare parts were available my uncle needed a rod for a KX125 but could only found one that fit the piston and another that fit his crank. They were also different lengths. He had a local machine shop that is known for being the welding experts cut them in half, space them correctly and weld them. It ran forever! Welds are superior any time something doesn't require disassembly.

Looks like same failure that my '99 Camry (5SFE) had and everything. at almost 300k miles, I hotrodded it a bit too long (Even on new oil) and cylinder number 4 spun and eventually let go, even after we attempted new rod bearings and new oil. Took out the block, pan, yet still ran and drove for quite a while. After we let it cool down it even drove 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) to my house on 3 cylinders and no oil. It eventually got hot and seized, yet when cooled down, even starts still, but won't run much because compression was practically dead at that point. I still feel bad, that car was the toughest car I've ever owned, and the most trouble-free. It was so good to me that it deserves/is getting another motor. Edit: I can probably upload some of the videos if people really want to see the failures and startups.

What happened - the thin metal plate holding the conrod together snapped. Then we have an engine spinning fast with the bottom part of the conrod smashing into the loose piston and conrod very fast. Especially with holes drilled out of it the conrod was ground into fragments. The bottom part of the conrod managed to break loose from the cylinder now allowing it to fling outwards with centrifugal force becoming a flailing mace, thus smashing against anything it could reach. This is why the breaks are all along the path it would take. Welds are stronger than bolts. Whilst this wasn't a fair test - the thin metal plates are very weak in comparison to conrods, bolts are rarely going to beat welds. The bolts drill out large portions of the metal severely weakening it, and carry the strength across a small thin portion of metal. Being separate bolts (as opposed to a single large one) they can break individually making them weaker than the sum of their parts. The welds take nothing out of the material and keep the strength, whilst adding an amount of fairly strong metal. Welds are continuous so the individual pieces can't break and it spreads the load better. Of course there are always exceptions, but in the majority of cases a good weld which is properly done will be better than bolts. To improve the test one would want to use a similar method for both welds and bolts. Ie as a separate piece of metal must be used for bolts, the weld should also use a separate piece of metal to bridge the gap. Ideally it would not be so weak - it needs to take just as much load as the thick heavy conrod is taking itself.

Remember: Welds don't "break" they "fail" so if your weld doesn't do the job, just weld it again! Unlike bolting pieces together; welds don't require additional structural materials to be sacrificed to support the bond so even a mediocre weld can outperform bolts as long as the fundamental elements of the weld are correct 😄❤👍 Bolts certainly have their own strengths to be fair, but as a welder by trade I'm biased. But hey at least I'm honest about it 😅

Idk if I should be annoying in requesting different piston sizes for a video. But I’m requesting you make a video with 4 different piston/cylinder sizes. Will the car rock itself apart? And you might be able to achieve this by boring some cylinders out and maybe resleeving another cylinder to add thickness. Bigger rings, smaller pistons. Vice versa. I just would like to see if it could run, and if so, can you smoke some rubber on a truely frankenstien engine? Cheers.

The man ls got balls for leaning in that motor while cranking. I wouldnt wanna be near it when it kicks a rod 🤟 Also Ive never doubted that the bolted rods would give first. Its a no brainer I think. The entire force is on a small part of the metal holding the rod together. Especially if youre wrong by half a mm. That alone would be enough the fatigue the metal since it would be streched or compressed the whole time.

I recently got another engine experiment idea: try putting some Cerama Bryte brand cleaner for glass and ceramic cooktops into it. The substance isn't supposed to scratch delicate surfaces when used as intended. However, I think we can agree that putting it inside a motor with parts moving at very high speeds and oil that it can potentially interact with chemically is far from its intended use. It could be fun to observe the results.

I suppose you could even resume the test with blocking the holes in the engine and running it on 3 cylinders. You told us these engines were tough! Now would be the best time to prove it! I believe you could even resume on one working cylinder, if you just block the other paths.

Grind off the broken rod so it can't hit anything internally and put it back on the crank, shove the old piston back into the bore and silicone it in place . Clean up the holes in the block real good and silicone some patches over the holes and then drive it some more to see which rod breaks next. You know it still runs, let's test it some more.

Someone underestimated the power of a good weld. Depending on several factors, but usually welds are much stronger than the parent metal. Drilling holes and sticking Bolts through them, just makes the structure weaker.

The straps you used to bolt the rod together are what failed. They couldn't take the tensile force. I really don't have a good suggestion to get around this...maybe use thicker material for the straps? I think you should try again with only welded rods and see what happens. I am very curious if the welds will hold. In theory they should. I am also curious if you can weld a valve back together and it be OK for a while. Keep it up! I really enjoy your experiments!

Well, such bolted connections rely on friction. Both sides should have perfect fit. Bolt is used only to squeeze them to have enough friction so that it can't move apart. If those bolted plates were not touching it with whole surface, it would have too much shearing force and it just shuttered it. That's why bolted connections like that are usually made on flat or precisely fabricated pieces that fit tightly together. Those bolts have good tensile strength but not shearing strength. It would be quite difficult to fabricate piece that fits there nicely.

You fragilized the rod piercing hole into it, the high tensile bolts and nuts are harder, in the one with standard bolts and nuts, they are much softer so they can absorbe some ot the stress. But deform a bit each time so they will break fast. With hard bolts the rode just don't have enough resistance du to the holes and shatter.
