I can answer this without watching the video: it’ll work for a certain amount of time before it doesn’t, and then your engine explodes.
3D-printed cam gears from various materials - will they work?

Lada engines don’t have valve / piston interference. They won’t explode. But yeah: the 3D-printed parts won’t last even a trip to the supermarket.

What about filling the oil pan with plastic, blocking the pickup, and starving the engine of oil? lol

BMW makes their engines out of plastic. They work, but not for long.

Hmmm. I have 3D printed gears and PLA gears have outlasted my expectations but I would never ever trust a 3D printed gear in a car or anything else that involves human safety.

This Youtube channel is all about doing outrageous experiments and mods with old Ladas. Whatever they do really doesn’t have to be reliable 🙂

Because they don’t go on the public roads, or don’t consider lives of ordinary Russians to be important enough?
