Here's weekly dose of your catastrophic engine forensics! Every week you can find a new teardown of some abused, misused and/or poorly designed engine. I've got over 160 videos of failed engine teardowns on this channel.
Today's engine isn't your classic lack of maintenance or poor design failure. Nope. This is what can happen when you severely overfill your crankcase with oil. Its not super common, but when it happens it can be just as detrimental to an engines health as not enough oil. This is a 66,000 mile Jaguar AJ126 3.0L Supercharged V6 from a 2017 Jaguar XE AWD. This came from a salvage yard that bought the XE for parts and drained over 9 quarts of oil from the pan, when it only holds 5.7. Its clear by the damage done that this engine ran as long as it could before it nearly seized. Lets take this one apart and find out what kind of damage can be done by this sort of mistake.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area. Part of our model includes dismantling bad and core engines to salvage the good parts from. We do not rebuild engines, merely sell parts to those who do!
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism!
Catch you on the next one!

This makes total sense. It takes 5.7 quarts, but one should round up just to be safe, thus you'd want to put 10 quarts in.
🤣🤣🤣

I'm impressed you have internet access.
I'm guessing 5.7 quarts is 10 liters?

I had a customer that liked to “self medicate for recreational purposes” come into a Mazda dealer I was working at with an excessive smoking issue and lack of power. Him and his stoner buddies had changed the oil and filled it up. Literally filled the engine up. 10 ish quarts of oil in a 2.3L Mazda 4 banger. It was blowing oil out of the egr valve and had torched a hole through the plastic intake manifold, charcoaled the exhaust manifold and down pipe.
Also the words you were looking for are drill shavings. Spiraled up metal looking like that are drill shavings. Keep fighting the good fight Eric. Love your channel.

Damn hippies
The machinists I’ve worked with would refer to them as curls.
I never get tired of hearing the "SNAP" of the Headbolts. 😊
I want that as a ringtone 😅
Very satisfying.
I bet what happened was the oil leak on the front of engine caused low oil. And the owner kept driving the car until he started hearing a knock. They then were like oh shit, I need to add oil. They just added a bunch of oil and could find a dipstick, so it was overfilled. They then kept driving and realized it was getting worse, so they committed insurance fraud to get a new engine like you said.
Insurance is the real fraud
exactly what I was gonna say. That's not the result of over full oil.
Shops are using vacuum pumps to remove oil but if you don't measure what you get out. It's hard to get an accurate oil level reading. Car needs to be idled to operating temp shut off and checked while still warm but drained down.
My first thought too. NowI still don’t know what happens wgen you initially overfill. Hang on. Shall I try with my daily driver? What can go wrong? Over lubrication?
Thing is that there is an oil level sensor there at the bottom of the pan. Measures oil level before the starter is engaged to start it on the first cycle of starting, then displays on the display oil level. With stop start the sensor only operates during initial start, disabled if the start is too fast. However it does not work well in operating engine, due to the oil splashing and foaming, or if there is glitter in there, though it also has oil contamination sensing (check oil for conductivity, conductive oil either is water condensed there, or very carboned up oil) built in.
Likely is the owner ignored the oil level warnings, just got in and thrashed the cold engine, and also likely did not bother doing any servicing, leading to the oil being contaminated, and also being used up in blowby into the inlet. So drove it till the oil pressure warning came on, and the vehicle ECM refused to allow engine starting. Then turned off and saw the low oil warning, so dumped in a full 5 quarts of oil, which was still low, so added another 5 quarts of oil, as again no dipstick, but now oil level warning is off. Then proceeded to drive it, and as the knocking grew worse, figured that they are well under water with the likely cost of replacing the engine ( JLR not going to rebuild a engine doing the macarena at idle for sure), plus likely still owing around half the original purchase price, but now it is valued at scrap metal rate of 2c a kilo as mixed. So decided to instead slam on the anchors on the highway, and be given a love tap from the rear, in the hopes insurance will scrap the vehicle, settle the loan, and they come out owing nothing, and with still good credit score, or at least not any worse credit score. Hope they did not get that payout, and the driver that hit them was in possession of a dashcam, or that a witness got this on dashcam.
I HATE how manufacturers are doing away with dipsticks. My 2020 Chev Colorado did not come with a dipstick for the trans. I bought an aftermarket one (yes you can get one made for your vehicle) and had it installed. When I check the oil and trans fluid I am not just looking at the level, I am also looking at the condition of the oil/fluid (especially the trans as I do a lot of hauling and towing). When I had the trans dipstick installed I was having the trans fluid changed. We discovered that the dealership had overfilled the trans when checking the fluid levels during the normal oil change. (fluid should just barely come out of the check fill hole, it poured out a quart over what it was supposed to have). I am so happy to be able to check the fluid properly now.
I call the warning lights on the dash idiot lights, cause they only tell you about a problem after it becomes a problem and the damage is already done
I did not know this was a trend. At this rate, vehicles older than about 2018 are basically useless commodity items at absurd luxury prices.
Well its not good but I can understand why from a manufacturers perspective. Cant be a large percentage of people chcking their oil level anyway these days.
I believe most are doing away from trans sticks.... Its a great way from keeping the idiots from putting in the wrong fluid... I know Ford and Dodge have been away from trans sticks for quite some time. Not really a big deal for a genuine wrench, but it does take a little more time to be sure the fluid level is where it needs to at.
Actually I feel it is a big deal. To check the fluid on one of these you have to put the vehicle up on a lift and pull out a plug. When you add trans fluid it is even more of a hassle. With the old trans dip sticks it was hard to make a mistake and put the wrong fluid in. you Oil fill access is clearly marked.@@highwayman1218
I always assumed calling them idiot lights was universal and everyone used that term.
Years ago, I was asked to check a random persons vehicle's oil level; It was so full that not one more drop could be added. I shook my head and recommended they drain some of the oil before they blew out a seal. Hard to believe I share the roads with people of this calibre!
How did it not hydrolock at that point
@@GaryTheRCcar Good question. It was so full. My eyes just rolled. I couldn't believe how dumb some people are.

Seen that before mk1 nissan micra driver filled it to the top he never seen the dipstick 15 ltrs, later when he started it , it blew the filler cap off the car still went oil 🛢 and smoke everywhere drove it to my place 5 miles bloke was upset when I laughed at him 😮
Remember, if you are losing oil, the more you add the longer you can go before adding again. The more you know.
🧠
I used to work with a guy that never had to get under his car to do an oil change. In the span of a week the engine would leak enough that he could cycle through what would be an entire drain and fill. I don't know if he ever bothered with changing the filter.
@@aland7236 I knew a guy like that. He knew it was just a beater that needed to last one more winter. He changed the filter regularly and topped the oil up daily.
😂😂
@@Ghaustermy Mazda was like that. But it was the power steering. I'd just fill it with water every morning and by the end of the day, it would be empty again. Worked for a few months.
I'm betting they kept putting oil in it till the noise was muffled from the crank being completely submerged in oil, lol.
hahaha, use heavy oil as well
@@ghostrider-be9ek 20w50
@@fyler1 why stop there? 80-90 gear oil works best.
Really?
How much oil does it take to quiet the engine down?
Wait, the crank isn't normally submerged in oil?
Ok... here's what just happened to my son's car. He took it in to a fly by night place to have the oil changed. When he got the car back it wasn't shifting well, and the check engine light was on. Upon further inspection, the quickie oil change Einsteins drained the transmission fluid and put double the amount of oil in. This is how engines get too much oil... this is why you always do your own oil changes!
A friend of mine who actually works in the crash test department for Jaguar has confirmed that is the reason this is the same size as the V8, also that parts compatibility was a massive cost saving allowing them to keep the price of the vehicles down significantly.
Makes sense, but for a car at that price level (new) I don't want an engine that's so full of compromises and cost savings. Which is too bad, I like both V6 engines and Jaguars. Got an old Jag myself. Was considering getting an F-Type S a few years ago, but the more I looked at that V6 engine the less I liked it and decided to keep my old car instead.

A lot of vehicles are being engineered to pull the engine to do anything more than an oil change these days.
@@veleriphon They are doing everything possible so only the manufacturer can work on it.
@@gregoryjohnson9733 "You'll own nothing and like it!" - authoritarian corporations and governments
@@veleriphon This specific issue is mostly the corporations, who buy the government (and the goodwill of consumers apparently) over time
Not saying governments are good. I’m just saying money is power and companies exist to make money. At a certain point they stop being able to fulfill the infinite growth proposition the economy is based upon so they have to find their money somewhere else.
It just so happens that “somewhere else” is return customers (by selling things that break and can’t be repaired at home), the cheapest possible parts sold for the most possible money (one piece plastic thermostat housings and $2,000 headlight housings), eliminating the budget/economy sectors (low margins), and exorbitant prices for vehicles they DO sell.
They’re making money by doing everything other than selling you something with good value for a fair price. I look forward to the subscription model taking over, where people will still find a way to “but what about” their way out of it hard enough that right to repair continues to be sidestepped as a widespread movement.
@@veleriphon It's not any easier for them to do it though.
On a semi-different note. I keep thinking of the conversation with the sales person for when I get a new car going something along the lines of "I'll take it, if you can get me a dipstick for it".
The waterpump high-dive, I give 9/10 for style points.
Maybe there should be a small portion of the show dedicated to “ water pump toss”.
@@concernedcitizen780 Eric has probably torn down enough engines now to make a compilation video of water pump tossing and destruction.
Jaguars with the exception of the Lucas electrics were actually pretty neat to work on engine wise. I mean the v12s had like 30 head bolts a side but the block looked solid and you didn't need to be an engine wizard to wrap your head around it. Now you need every tool under the sun to work on one.
Worked on a few sixes many years ago. Apart from "Lucas the prince of darkness" (Australian name for Lucas electrics) they were really well made.Valve adjustment was a mongrel though.
Love my xjs v12. Been good to me for the past 15 years
They're basically a jaguar straight six times 2, they're OK engines. Kind of a waste of time when you consider how much refinement v8s got and jaguar had 0 money to upgrade it. Really cool though. As far as limits a v8 can be pushed harder because of crank harmonics, practical rev limit is 8500 on the v12.
Also 30 bolts a side isn't anything special for an old design, a sbc has 17 bolts per side that's 4.25 per cylinder, so x6 and a v12 sbc would have 25.5 bolts per side. Modern TTY fasteners letting us get away with just 10 per side on a v8 are a miracle.
@@SPAZTICCYTOPLASMI've owned and worked on plenty of Jaguar v12's and currently own two v8's,one old and one very new.no V8 matches the silky smoothness of jags V12.
You people are so idiotic when it comes to brand loyalty. .The only thing about this car is a Jaguar is the Jaguar emblem. Jaguar went under AGES ago, They it was part of British Leyland, THEN FORD bought them out in 2000 and they are now made by the Indian company TATA motors. My Sears Kenmore says Made in China by Matsushita Electric. That's Panasonic. Companies buy and sell their nameplates daily. Wake up. You nit wits are probably paying EXTRA for Braun Products, even though they are made by Proctor and Gamble. Jaguar and Land Rover have been made by TATA MOTORS of INDIA for quite awhile now. PHEW
Many thanks for the video, Eric. Yours is the only channel I really look forward to every week - I've watched them all. Please keep up the excellent work, I really appreciate it.
Very strange the bearings resembled lathe swarf. That was the first thing I thought of when the oil pickup was shown.
Thanks as always for my Saturday night entertainment Eric.
Funny story, I know someone who didn't now much about cars, to the point that they didn't know what a dipstick was. They checked their oil one day by opening the cap on the valve cover. And then they proceed to pour in oil until they could see it. They tried to run the engine that way. You can guess the result.
Someone I know did that to their Honda. Miraculously, they got it running again by draining the excess oil. I love Honda.
@@jacobthecool3000 - I can't remember for certain the model, but I'm fairly certain the person I knew did it on a Volkswagen.
this Jag has no dipstick..... IT SUCKS...
@@jacobthecool3000 Saw the same with a toyota
The oil pan looks like it just came home from the strip joint.
Did you see some remaining hookers indicator on the engine 😅😅😅
This video reminded me of working at a Chevy dealer. 2 corvettes came in at different times, but both were amazing, and they were both burning oil and knocking.
The first was a newer c6, so full of oil, the cams were submerged. Not joking, drained about 5 gallons out out of it. It somehow survived that ordeal. When the service writer asked her about it, she said her husband said to "fill it with oil, and it just wasn't filling." I wish i could have been there for the conversation because the writers face was priceless when he told me what she did. It stopped smoking after we pulled and cleaned the exhaust and replaced the converters.
The second was an older c6, very unique "Fast and Furious" style "mods." This car was also from the city i lived in at the time. "Customer states engine sounds like a metal maraca," it did. After some back and forth with the owner, we found out he "races" it. And his buddy that has raced them for years recommended increasing the oil volume in the engine. Too bad he missed the part about the larger oil pan. That car got pushed out, and a flat bed took it away. We never saw that car again, but I did see the guy with a foxbody a couple of months later.
The oil pickup piping looks like a musical instrument. Beautiful!
The spiral machinist's tinsel is known as swarf. Wonderful stuff to step on barefoot.
And I believe swarf is a UK word. At least the first time I ever heard the word it was on a tool made in the UK.
I've always just called it chips.
@@meanderinoranges That's also a common term, especially for mill swarf that tends to chip off rather than spiraling off like lathe or drill swarf will.
You can see with the slightly offset rods on each throw how they came out like swarf. Squeeze the bearing a bit and slice off your excess bearing as it rotates. The British version of a meat slicer.
@@fivendimeca mmm, gonna have to get some of that delicious sliced bearing on my sandwiches from now on
At least they used a chain driven oil pump and a keyed crankshaft
and they included all the pistons free of charge!
@@zf9903 Did they? Isn't this the V6 that is made out of the V8 with two of the cylinders blanked off...
At some point I expected the oil pump to be in trouble, but did not expect the rotor SHAFT to be stuck!
@TassieLorenzo it sure does. Same engine block as the v8 but missing 2 pistons. These engines 3.0 takes 8.5 quarts of oils. Not 5.5. Same oil pump, same oil pan.
Eric, as always, another great vid. And, thanks for the explanation. I was wondering how overfilling could/would destroy bearings. You have cleared that up for me!!
Overfilling didn't destroy it, don't believe everything u watch on CZcams lol. Like others posted, low oil caused it then was overfilled due to no dipstick. Typical clickbait titles...
I know it would be dead boring and worth absolutely nothing, but I'd love to see your opinions on the venerable Buick 3800, that engine somehow survived me learning maintenance through high-school and college. I will always have a deep respect for its reliability, ran fine after overheating and poor oil change frequency. Somehow everything attached to it broke first.
Love your videos and your wholesome nature.

BLESS @@I_Do_Cars
I changed oil for a number of years and the most overfilled I ever saw was a Pontiac/Buick 3800 V6 that overflowed a 5gal bucket. They saw 0% life remaining on the misleading GM oil change reminder with no actual sensor and only stopped filling when oil came out the dipstick tube. They said they were expecting to be able to see the oil level looking in the fill hole, lucky that engine has a low dipstick. I can't believe they never at least questioned the cost of that much oil even with literally zero auto knowledge.
It was limped to the shop drove away like it never happened.
Appriciate all the knowledge you pass along. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for all of your hard work after work.
Thank you for putting the 710 cap on properly!
Last year I went through something similar.
2016 range rover 3.0 supercharged.
It was starved of oil when the dealer did not refill after a service. It did have a good amount of sludge but the oil pump was still operational and there was no reason for it to lock up. It locked up three rod bearings so fast that it did not even put metal in the engine. You read that correctly nothing else got hurt... the cams, heads and all were fine. It locked up quickly which actually made it repairable.
The rings were awful and it had signs of oil consumption.
I installed new pistons, 3 new rods and turned the crank.
It ran like new. As of now it has around 40k on the rebuild.
I will say I had a hard time finding rods and also with pistons due to the factory installing .5mm over pistons from the factory.
Definitely not a easy engine to get parts for...

It was a dealer that didn't refill it after a service that caused the engine to seize. They tried to do a test drive and it locked up due to no oil.

loving these jaguar AJ engine teardowns. got a 50. supercharged version in my xfr
I had this engine in a 2016 Land Rover LR4. Absolutely great unit when it's not ruined by people who can't care for their cars
I had a tech at a dealership double up the oil in my car. I noticed smoke within a couple miles. Stopped, had a wtf moment, then pulled the dipstick and saw how high it was. Went right back and had it dealt with. I've put more than 100,000 miles on the car since. So it's not a death sentence for the engine if you catch it right away.
My grandfather was given the keys to a car that just had a motor job done. Told to deliver it and another guy would swing by and pick him up. When he got there it smelled wrong. So he opened the hood and found the radiator missing. He drove the car right back to the dealership. Said it was glowing and you could see the outline of the cylinders. So they told the customer that parts had been delayed and did the job over. Even 70 years ago. Things went wrong.

The word for those curly shavings when you drill out metal is "Swarf". Loved this teardown. Everything seemed reasonably 'OK' until you removed the oil pan. Lovely, Sparkly glitter to make the oil look pretty and Whoa! there was just a 'tiny' bit of play on those rod bearings!! There is also the rare chance the car this engine came out of was hit whilst parked. Rear, driver's side corner, it's a possibility. Definitely a 9 out of 10 for the back spin you got on that water pump.
"The word for those curly shavings when you drill out metal is 'Swarf'" or "chips" in most machine shops.
@@krenay3292 They’ll have a few names. I suspect Swarf or Chips could be a UK or American thing. It doesn’t matter what the name is It still piggin hurts if you get some stuck in your finger.
Just want to keep my car as long as possible. I now change my oil / filter etc. half the recommended distances and my fingers are crossed. Great work.
That may not be nearly as good for your engine as you might think, unless you are going by synthetic oil suggested intervals... then you are probably fine.
What a timely tear down ! Funnily enough, I just checked the oil level in my 2017 F type R and it was overfilled!. Just recently done the oil change, and not having the oil dipstick sucks. Although, I only put 7 quarts (Needs 6.5 for AWD). Going to drain that half a quart now ha.
1/2 quart spread across the area of that pan is maybe 3/16" Nothing to worry about.
You may want to have your oil analyzed with each change. An expensive engine makes it worth tracking wear material - if you see it trending up, time to overhaul or sell...
ISTR that there is an option to add the dipstick, just the manufacturer blanks off the hole in the block, but the rest is there to do it. Saving 100g of metal to meet an EPA mass limit.
No, that engine was never designed to have a dipstick. It is derived from the AJ133 V8 which was designed in 2008 to have an electronic oil level sensor/read out from the get go.@@SeanBZA
my brother once thought his car had a leak in it, so he was putting some in. when i saw him adding 5qts i said 'are you sure about that?' he said 'its still going down good' so i decided he needed to learn the hard way.
well, i didnt realize how bad it was. his 2000 camry had 12qts total in it when the mechanic drained it, cost a LOT for him to fix.
That’s something you do to your father in law not a brother.
Bet he still did not learn anything though, blaming everybody but himself.

I got my oil changed recently at a local shop that overfilled my oil by about a quart.

I had a 2009 Vino 125 ( small gas scooter ) It had been dropped many times and very poorly maintained, I went to change the oil, it held less the a quart however it filled up half of a plastic shoe box size container and other other quart came out of the airbox ( which was not meant to be oil filled ) how this thing ran at all still amazes me.
Love your videos! I've got a '93 Miata in the garage, I'll check your inventory!
My sister went to one of those 10min oil change places and they added about 2-3 extra quarts. Glad we caught it in time.
Changing the oil on these engines is a huge pain in the butt. You have to the remove the huge skid plate to access the drain plug. The filter and oil are expensive, but my favorite thing is there is NO DIP STICK. My guess is someone had the oil changed, but someone forgot to drain it.... and added another 5qts on top... and since there was no dipstick.. they just assumed
the comp can tell you low in oil ,,,,but not if your over fill ,,,,,,,but good old dip stick YES
You can use a vacuum to remove the oil. And the computer does tell you when it’s overfilled. At least on my 2018 f type.
@@rrstl31yeah only newer cars can detect over filling of oil I know the newer bmws I worked on had that feature
I concur. Like many older people I spent time in my youth working in actual service stations and I've see the same thing happen many times. We always caught it before firing up the car but still, somebody had to pay for several quarts of new oil. The opposite also happens - draining the oil and forgetting to refill the engine. That never works out well, either.
2003 Mercedes computer tells you if it is over filled.
Eric, those have the dipstick holding the steering wheel. I quit buying vehicles with no dipstick for the engine and automatic trans some time ago.Once enough people do that, then we MIGHT see some better design choices from auto makers.
Looks like the bearings on the first 2 cylinders were walking out while spinning on the journals and were getting basically cold chiseled off by the opposing rod swiping past them
I was thinking they broke something due to poor maintenance, had the low oil pressure warning light, and even though oil level was full, just kept adding to it. I didn't think about the aeration of the oil from the level being to high! Learning new things!
I love your videos! Maybe you could use a torque wrench set at a low 40-50 lbs and on up to give us a idea of how hard it is to turn over the motors?
A beam style torque wrench would be a better option.
About the fuel line. The engineer's job is to design it. They don't how care how hard of a time or how long it takes the mechanic to replace the valve cover gaskets. Nor do they care what the owner has to pay to fix the repair!
Tell that to a honda engineer
my guess accountants had alot to do with the design not being split
I laughed wayyy too hard when he said “oooo it’s still got GAS in it” with gas having a voice changer 😂😂😂
Good video! The F type also featured the AJ126... The greatest iteration of the AJ126 was in the F type 400 Sport 400Ps/395Bhp.
Those are bearing pigtails. That's the technical term for them. "The more you know "
I understand the reason why oil aerates when the crank runs through it when over filled. However, it would have to be very substantial since the the windage tray and oil pump area were in the way.
I would think it started having trouble, and someone tried to quiet it with over filling. Also maybe it had already started knocking from the oil leak and they just over filled it? I think you would have to measure the oil level in the pan in relation to the crankshaft weights.
Ball hone and rebuild.. sellable block. Great vid Eric 👌

These are great engines, honestly. Failures are solely caused by owners. And even then, it's hard to kill if you simply keep the fluids in it. 20 years of AJ without any dumb issues. Can't say that about .. cough .. BMW. I'd own a Jag out of warranty, but never a BMW.
"That's not where bearings go..." Classic!! 🤣
I usually turn the chop saw blades around backwards when I cut my oil filters. Less likely to grab and throw. Good video enjoyed it.
Lovely fuel line arrangement there.
Now imagine working on the engine while it is still inside the car.
Lovely.
No way. These engines need to come out.
Just pull the engine and save breaking your back trying to squeeze around the engine bay. Shouldn't be hard for a shop with equipment and trained mechanics.
This also depends on the engine, I've seen GM vortecs overfilled with more than 10 quarts that still ran perfectly fine after filled to the proper 6 quarts
Me! I had one back in 2000. Factory overfill.
It was out or morbid curiosity that I watched this entire video. As it turns out, it was very entertaining and educational. Great video!
Wrote off my 2013 XF with this engine, I was told the engine could not be rebuilt. This was after months of electrical issues that could not be diagnosed. Fixed with new Instrument cluster before a month later, at under100,00 miles, catastrophic engine failure. Yes I had bought the car used but did the maintenance required.
You should try to get a PRV V6 on the teardown stand.
Yes. That infamous boat anchor. The one that can't get a stainless steel doorstop to 88mph more than once.
I'd be curious too!
One guy who use to work on them new said, "The most unbelievable part of the movie was getting it to 88 MPH." It's to bad because they looked cool. Just needed a much better drive train.
@@Ghauster The most common repower for them seems to be either a 4.3L or a 3800 Series 2 V6, and for similar reasons. Reliable, rugged, compact, and bloody everyone has one in their shed. A 4.3 or 3800 II swapped DMC12 will very readily hit 88 every time one asks!
@@marc-oliviercabot3380 The Restored channel is working on a DMC12. Part one was trying to unsieze it, and then afterwards, dismantling for inspection. Part 2 showed them tearing the engine the rest of the way down. Why that engine is on my mind atm. They didnt really show as much detail as Eric does and I'm sure the engine having TWO distributors...one for fuel and one for spark as apparently it uses mechanical multi point fuel injection...will garner some interesting reactions!
You mean the one that still holds the record high speed on the Mulsanne straight?
It is -8F at 1:30AM in the burbs of Chicago...and I stayed up to watch this all the way through, why I have no clue but it was entertaining to watch. Thanks....
You seriously need to get a girlfriend pal, you have too much time on you hands to sit and watch this at 1:30 am
No audio Eric 😞 I love listening 🎧 to you get on it as well as watching the video as you make fun out of the work!
Thanks. Very educational regarding the over fill of oil.
Bearing foil fettuccine. Just keep turning up the radio until the rod noise is gone.
I hear dealerships are giving every new Jaguar owner a free bumper sticker.
"The parts falling off this new Jaguar are of the finest English quality".
English? Not anymore - they are just Ford's with some lipstick.
you mean Indian quality.
@@HE-pu3nt You just named all old ass engines. Try something made in the last 30 years for your next attempt at an insult. British cars have EARNED there rep for being poorly made shitboxes. P.s. haha the queen is dead
@@DocNo27 the FoMoCo timing chain tensioner stood out proudly. Never thought Ford would be part of a Jag as a kid.
@@Ghauster Honestly FoMoCo quality control practices *improved* Jaguar considerably on the X308 model XJ compared to the X300 model XJ as far as I know. That's how bad Jaguar manufacturing and quality control was before... British Leyland were not really known for exemplary quality control. More like using outdated production equipment and using tooling until it breaks, instead of replacing it before it starts to deviate from spec. IIRC, Ford invested heavily in upgrading the Jaguar factory with more modern equipment and machinery that would allow for more repeatable and consistent quality.
"Never thought Ford would be part of a Jag as a kid." Previously with the Jaguar inline-six and V12, Jaguar had gone of their way to make sure that the standard Rover V8 would not fit, less a Jaguar have the indignity of a Rover (Oldsmobile) engine! So the XJ chassis had to be redesigned and widened for the X308 when Ford wanted to move Jaguar to the V8 engine shared with the Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird and so on (which Jaguar had much design input in of course, IIRC).
I know a workshop, employing a new apprentice. He did his first oil change and refilled the engine...........all the way up to the oil cap on the valve cover. Instant engine destruction ensued.
After driving 318s mopar around for years, I'm baffled by the complex garbage of this motor.
Ive literally pulled a 20yr old water pump from a junk yard a used it for another 10yrs!
Fuel pump changed in a parking lot in 20min for 25$.
This video says alot about current manufacturer practices.
I have one of these in a XF wagon and I keep wondering how hard the 5L swap would be. Maybe someday I'll see
The Dodge hornet has a 1.3 liter engine that puts out 290 horsepower,I wonder how long it will be before you get one of those engines
Dodge makes such a fine product. Eric may never see one……….
It has two electric motors as part of that 290hp. The 1.3l gas engine is less than 170hp.
@@concernedcitizen780 ROFL🤣
Camaro 2.0 turbos are better. 275hp 290tq. Just add an oil catch can
This happened in a C63S at work. 16 Litres. Got a low engine light and he somehow thought that adding another 8 litres would fix it. Blew both turbos.and knocked out the cats. We replaced a couple sensors after adjusting the oil level to correct but when we got to the turbos, the turbines were partially destroyed. 💸
I drive a 2014 F150 after watching several of these videos, I wish that I drove a 1999 I6 instead, I like & trust simple.
I’m missing the dipsticks, that was the fun part.
Thank you Sir for an interesting video
Great trucks
The curved machining bits are called, "Swarf".
I thought they were called chips
That too@@JoeyLovesTrains
i was wondering: as the rod bearings wore from oil starvation, could they slide sideways and then get sheared off as the rod rotates? that could account for the curled shavings?
@@robinfowler9477 That is the theory, yes. Specifically it seems like they were getting shaved off by the edges of the split journals.
79 year old ex Donnington GT champion .. driver / mechanic fabricator, exhaust manufacturer . my own designed ground effects Hillman imp look alike was so fast that In one race of 12 laps I almost lapped the entire field of 30 plus cars .
I've never previously seen that type of crankshaft. Very interesting design and very interesting destruction. Eric, you always make Sat nights interesting. I hope you turn a profit on that poor engine's remains.
Eric, it might help to make a GIANT sign for behind you "DO YOUR MAINTENANCE- CHANGE OIL" -- but long before I sent you the filter cutting tool, you've been trying to pound it in. It's ashamed they don't show your videos before every Taylor Swift concert, maybe someone would be informed!! 😢
Especially if they see what oil filters can do to help.
If people did their maintenance Eric might be out of business.
48:36 is that a crack on the crank?
The term you were looking for regards the metal spirals is "swarf".
The complexity of that engine is mind boggling.
How’s it complex? It’s like any other V6 DOHC engine with a supercharger on top 😂
Turbocharged ones are worse!
Bring on the electric revolution, modern combustion engines are throw away junk unfortunately
Wouldn't say these are great, but have seen pleanty worse on this channel.
Let's take a simple Ford engine and massively overcomplicate it
Eric, I seriously appreciate and personally like the way you keep tearing down different engines by different manufacturers, regardless of their damage level. Every week I look forward to seeing -you beat yourself up- your smiling face again! Seeing all of the innards as-is, and the uncommon designs and the unique engineering pertinent to each engine is a goddamn blessing to laymen and mechanics alike. You're the best!
P.S.
Your volume level is still a good 15% below the advertisement volume levels. ;)
I like the sound the speed up air impact makes
If you could find an audi 1.8t or 2.8l v6 I would love to watch that teardown. Love the content keep up the good work
you need to give ole blue more credit for doing a great job
the cam follower buckets are DLC coated; which is a coating almost as hard as diamond. Its sold as a wonder coating that lasts forever and although it is very hard it doesn't last forever, the problem comes when it gone and the soft metal is exposed underneath, which then gets chewed away rapidly. It caused problems in high pressure VW fuel pumps because it wears just like this. Its also in Porsche's 911 GT3 motor in the valve train because hydraulic lifters don't work at 9000 rpm and the motor is a nightmare to tear down for a shim change. I think Porsche GT3 owners are in for some pain...
911 GT3 owners can afford it! No need to worry about them. Thanks for the info about the infamous VW cam followers.
Huh...a super hard coating. Hard as diamond wearing away???.....did I miss something 😅😅😅
You know it’s good when Eric says “never seen that before!”
Swarf is the word you’re looking for
The Bearing Pickup Tube was doing a pretty good job. it picked up a whole lot of bearing.
TBF do you really expect a Jaguar engine to run well with no problems past 20K miles even if it is very well maintained! Too much oil in a Jaguar engine is likely the least of your concerns.
These modern engines are efficient and powerful but it sure takes many more parts and management to get there. Definitely not easy to work on them in the vehicles anymore!
I remember replacing the water pump on my 1978 Olds Cutlass 442. Take off the serpentine belt, loosen the fan shroud, unbolt the fan and there is the easily accessible water pump.
Did all that while it was parked in the rental home parking area.
Now I have a 2001 F150 & a 2020 Mazda and I don't even think about doing major repairs.
Efficient in Taking money out of your pockets. Kinda like a new cheaper Ford Broncos. 😅😅😅 People are bitching about it. Yet they are buying them. Just because it's a so called Status symbol.
I had a former coworker get a Subaru Forester for an oil change. He drained the transmission fluid and added more engine oil to the engine. Essentially doubling the 4.3ish quarts it takes. Drove out of the shop with what was left in the torque converter. The customer made it 2 miles from the shop when the car started smoking and wouldn't drive. Got towed back to the shop and checked out. Engine was fine, transmission however was not. Needed a new trans and a correct oil change on a 30k mile car. Hence, former coworker.
That spiral/sliver of twisted metal from a drill is called "'swarf".
It’d be cool if you kept track of all the fasteners. Nuts and bolts. Get a weight measurement of all the nuts and all the bolts, and display them on-screen at the end of the video. That’d be fun info to guess about, and then have.
You bet... I am amazed at just how many bolts are used on a modern engine😮😮
I have the exact same engine in a Range Rover Sport and I know early owners manuals had printed the wrong oil capacity at around 6 quarts for the V6 in the oil specification section. The correct amount is approx 8.5 quarts for RRS and you can confirm this on the digital oil level gauge. If you put only 6 quarts in it doesn’t even register on the gauge. Remember the engine block casting and sump are shared with the larger V8 so it makes sense the capacities would be similar between the V6 and V8. I could see a scenario where a quick change oil shop may have the wrong capacities in their database. Plus if you are using non-Jag or LR approved oil not meeting the factory spec and certifications that could lead to issues long term as these are very tight tolerance engines.
Factory recommendation is Castrol, not really anything special, nor any factory "certifications" lmao
It'll run on any oil, just no gear oil in Alaska winter or 0W in Arizona summer, Olive oil if not run hard.
You can indeed run any high quality oil you want in the right weight 5w20 for the AJV6. Factory specifications calls for oil that meets STJLR.51.5122 standard using Castrol Edge Professional (contains dye for warranty claims), LiquiMoly Special Tec LR rated version and perhaps one or two other brands if you can find them meet this specification. Newer Castrol Edge Professional 0w20 for LR Ingenium engines is backwards compatible but share the same concerns running such a weight of oil in the AJV6 in high temperature extremes during summer.
@@craigmclaughlin7870 lol JLR standards are a joke.They are in pursuit of extended oil changes, and those specs are only in the pursuit of oil that might last a little longer. That oil is not any better at lubricating than any 5w-20. If you were smart you wouldn't be pushing for 10-20k mi between oil changes.
