Transparent Resin Engine Runs Briefly in Mesmerizing Display

Garage 54 attempted to create a transparent engine block based on a four-cylinder engine from an old front-wheel-drive Lada by casting it out of resin. The engine was assembled with regular Lada head, crank assembly, and other relevant components. However, the engine block shattered after the first power stroke, sending shrapnel flying across the workshop floor. The team notes that some manufacturing issues may have been part of the problem, but the concept could work with a stronger block running at lower compression with more careful fuelling.
