Low compression might be due to the rods being slightly too short (or perhaps compressed). Only a tiny difference in length is going to have a massive impact on ratio.

There are motors with 5:1 compression from the factory, any amount is fine. The problem here is leakdown from the lack of oil on the worn rings, all that compression is escaping.

The simple fact of a dry engine already reduces compression (increases blowby)... I think he should try doing it with the oil pan installed and oil in it. That also can add strenght to the rods (wet wood).

I think if they would have manufactured the crank from one piece of wood on a lathe it might have worked, for a little bit.

There are some woods from Africa (I don't remember the name ) that is so hard you can't drill it or drive a nail in. It is often used in flooring for truck and trailer beds and may actually hold up enough to run for a much longer time. Persimmon wood is very oily and hard and was used for bearings before modern plastics replaced it. It might work for the main bearings.

I cant wait to watch this video as I used to be an inspector for Albion Engineering in the UK and used to inspect con rods before they went to Fords. Im 100% sure what will happen in this video. Great video but I was hoping for it to start rev high and have splinters hitting the camera :) All im saying is your wooden con rods would not have passed inspecting at Albion lol Iv seen engines made out of many things but as soon as they hit high revs they rattle apart of brake.

I think bamboo might have some success, too. the naturally curved cross section of bamboo could be particularly helpful for those end connectors.

This channel is crazy I like it 🤣

I threw a rod on a 2000 Subaru. Came straight up out of the top of the block. Blew out all the oil. It would still start and run after. Amazing.

Very good craftsmen! :D

Get some of that Osage orange wood, the one so hard it dulls drillbits and try again, the con rod idea might even work long enough to put in a car and slip the clutch forward.

This guy has to be like a Vo-Tech teacher if not he should be. All I know is they definitely have a lot of fun putting this stuff together.

Be interested to see if it worked if you treated the wood, lots of options oil+concrete mix works great or just oil soaked. TBH a wood CNC would be amazing hehe

Last time I was this early there were the sounds of gearbox destruction

Making these out of a hard plywood like Baltic birch would likely allow them to last longer and less breaking of the caps.

Wonder if you could make a mold of the factory connection rod and make one out of some resin

Proof of concept, it did work. I think the main issue was the use of cheap, laminated fir wood. Not only causing the instant breakages, but the conrods would have been too flexible. The flexing conrods in turn causing low compression and too high ignition point. Brazilian walnut or Olive wood would have been better. But a really interesting video!

Yeah, it'll work-just not very long. Thanks, JD

I have theory on why it was so hard to start. Right after that first rod failed, the piston kept traveling until it smashed into the top of the combustion chamber. This caused at the very LEAST one bent valve. The engine has to overcome being short one cylinder as well as the load of that jammed "up" valve dragging on the camshaft system like a brake preventing it from building the RPM's to keep it's self running.
