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.

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.

Glorious soviet engineering saves the ~~day~~ half-trip to the supermarket xD

Luckily it's so empty that you won't have your car weighted down by your groceries

Cam gears are on the outside of the engine though. No danger of all of that.
