In this one, you are about to see one pretty interesting experiment which perfectly demonstrates for how long a 100% JB weld stick can last in a running engine. There are many stresses going on inside an engine. That said, only a few parts can endure more than a connecting rod. The link that`s going on between the crank shaft and the piston is called the connecting rod. This part has an immense amount of responsibility and it must be extremely strong in order to remain healthy. If there`s even a small bearing failure the stresses in the engine ramps up pretty high.
This can often cause a very catastrophic failure. However, in every engine failure when a lot of things inside get destroyed, the rod is fine. However, in this one, one YouTuber aims to find out for how much the JB weld stick can last. Now, he uses this JB weld rod in a lawnmower. Even though the small lawnmowers engine doesn`t produce the same amount of stress on the rods as all-out racing engines, there`s still a bit of stress.
That said, it seems almost absurd to try something like this, but hey, why not? Upon placing the JB Weld stick, the engine immediately cranks up. It manages to run for over a minute before completely shutting down. Upon inspecting the lawnmower`s crankcase, you can see that the rod is absolutely destroyed. However, it`s interesting to see that an engine can run for even that much with a 100% JB Weld rod.
