- Is this the first teardown you've seen? Wondering if I've made a video on a certain engine? There are over 100 teardown videos I've made over the last 2 years on a wide variety of engines and they can be found here: • Blown Up Engine Tear D...

This might be the roughest, most completely destroyed engine yet! While climbing around in a pile of core engines, I noticed the user-installed inspection ports and knew this one was special.
This is a 3.3L Lambda GDI V6 from a 2016 Kia Sorento. These engines make 290hp and seem to be pretty unreliable just based on the demand in the secondary market. However, I don't think you could blame the manufacturer for this one. WOW, that's all I can say about this.
Why do I do these? I own and run a full service salvage facility in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is dismantling core engines to salvage the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
I hope you enjoyed this teardown. You can expect one of these every Saturday evening, on the dot.
As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!

Customer: Just started making a light tapping sound and then quit 🤷♂️ can you have a look...
Eric WHAT THE $#@&!?
“But can it be fixed?”
This is like my two cool uncles sharing a beer at the barbecue
@@I_Do_Cars ain't nothing a welder can't fix right? 😂😂
@@I_Do_Cars It can always be 'fixed', just like the Ship of Theseus.
Good to see one of my Idols commenting! Thanks Eric.
We see this type of damage a lot in Florida. People try to power through deep water and continue with their foot to the floor even after the noises under the hood keep getting louder and louder.
Yep, ate itself 1 pair of cylinders at a time. Impressive that it kept running for most of that.
If all you care about is making the noises under the hood stop, this is honestly a really effective and fast way to make the noises stop forever. Sure, the noises will briefly get really loud... But then there will be silence!
I think you're right. IIRC, GDI motors run a bit higher compression since they're injecting the gas... I'm guessing powering through little bit of water, sucked a little in the engine, pistons stopped before TDC, and the connecting rods said, "I got further to go." Punches through pistons, or snaps rods. Then it just makes mince meat out of the internals coming down from running speed.
That's the most common cause of this level of destruction, but in this case it's a Hyundai/Kia engine, which don't require water ingestion to self-destruct this severely. I believe Hyundai intentionally designs the engines to grenade just outside of warranty.
Yep, foot in the carburetor until the engine stopped rotating.
This was just……..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…….amazing.
✅ Mechanically re-gapped plugs
✅ Malice in the combustion palace
✅ Rod pieces in the timing cover. I’ll say that again: *Connecting rod pieces in the timing cover!*
✅ Dis-connecting rods
✅ Multiple good parts yeeted across the shop
✅ Multiple missing pistons
✅ Jumbo family pack of piston McNuggets
✅ Quarry in the oil pain
✅ Windage foil
✅ *FIVE OF SIX RODS TURNED TO GLITTER!*
✅ Wristpins in orbit
This was a masterpiece. I love it. Fantastic.
Don't forget the rod piece embedded in the block 😂
You didn’t even list every single reason why you should NOT buy a Kia.
✅ Adjustable pistons
One more;
✅ Engine Gravel, often found and associated with Oil Pan "Quarry" condition.
Inspection ports ✅
Watching you take these engines apart, is like watching an autopsy. And just as fascinating.
And your terminology just makes it.
It is an autopsy, an engine autopsy! Lol.
This is THE ONE, Eric! THE MOST BLOWED UP engine EVER, sir. You have every right to be justifiably proud! Well done!!
It threw EVERY SINGLE rod!
This is god damn impressive
It has to be. Anything worse would be the block being in pieces...
@@99domini99 For some reason I vaguely remember seeing this (from the chunked-out oil pan) in one of those car mechanical fail videos, like _Just Rolled In_ or something similar, and the result of flat-towing the car accidentally in gear. I wish I could remember the episode, but at any rate that's usually how something like this happens. Engines take a lot of work to turn over when they are coming apart and once more than half of the cylinders are defunct, just wont run anymore. However if we add some extra rented cylinders from U-Haul, that will do the trick quite well. Even worse will be the driver being completely oblivious to the cataclysm taking place behind them.
@@mysock351C Oh yeah I’ve seen this from MASSIVE over-revs as well! Spin the engine to 12 grand and all the pistons evacuate.
@@99domini99 And I say the above from experience as the first one or two rods it throws are quite energetic when you set out to destroy an engine, but after that its usually just messy, smoky, and not that exciting with a gas engine. I hear old diesels tend to be a lot more destructive just due to the nature of how they work, and their ability to just about keep running no matter what.
I would pay a HUGE amount of money just to hear the sound of this thing when it blew.
Well you can always do your own. You said huge amount of money.
@@davidhickenbottom6574 please make this a reality
@@davidhickenbottom6574 Would be a good use of a Kia engine
Actually you won't hear much. The engine was being push started with water in the cylinder.
Actually, you might. I blew up a 225 slant six in a pickup going up a slick clay road at high rpm (for a slant six) and when it let go, it was pretty noisy for a few seconds. It knocked holes in both sides of the engine and the pan.@swamivardana9911
As someone that has grenaded more than my fair share of engines, I can say in all honesty that this is the most blown up engine that I have ever seen. I am impressed and amazed. I really would have liked to hear it let go though.
That you were able to remove the crank after ONE rod bolt removal... I'm giving this one the crown for worst yet! Just wow...
That's not just any hydrolock, that's a hydrolock at full send. Truly impressive.
I think you nailed it!
yeah someone thought they could make it... but there was no way
Yea I came to the comment section just to say this.
Money shift while towing a huge trailer into a hydrolock
It's like it blew and was forced to continue spinning. Crazy
Careful using a prybar to remove the crank. You don't want to scratch it.
😂😂😂the things beyond scratch my guy, thts teen fatality ☠️☠️
Loving your engine tear-downs from here in the UK. As a race engine builder in a former life, I can honestly say that I've pulled apart engines that let go at 10,000rpm - with less internal (and external) damage. Hats off to the Kia owner who tried to 'clear' the misfire with some proper foot-to-the-floor conviction. Oh, and the cam followers have DLC (Diamond Like) coating, hence the black colour. Great work Eric. Keep 'em coming, and here's a big UK thank you to the all the dipstick-phobic American car owners out there.
Usually Id clap back at any euro shit talking Americans, but its so fucking true man. You got people who know everything, or nothing no in between. And Its a lot more who know literally nothing. Like not even the basics. Theres a willingness for people to be ignorant here.
This was the best of the most damage I've ever seen! The wrist pins quit and went to live a better life someplace else! Honestly when I saw the short block inside I was like wow! That's not just carnage, that's Armageddon!
This gives cylinder deactivation a whole new meaning!
Cylinder dislocation more like it.
I'm wondering how you physically get an engine this blown up...5 out of 6 rods are in rubble. The engine has no power to continue destruction
@@ccmoos if you’re on full send when one rod goes and keep it pegged, there will be enough energy in the motor to completely grenade it.
could this have been a Manual Trans car that got chain tow while in gear, after the initial failure (like out of a flooded street)? then towing spinning the engine anhilated the remainder?
@@pablopicaro7649 Good point. That would definitely do it!
"Of course, you want to find engine parts inside an engine." - The quality of gearhead advice this channel provides free of charge is just invaluable! :)
Eric, this is the most spectacular display of engine destruction to date. You really set the bar high!
Eric, this was the most blown up engine I've ever seen. Amazing that it even ran long enough to do that much damage! I love this channel and can't wait for the next tear-down.
The fact that it still resembled a whole engine from the outside when *that* is what the inside looked like is IMPRESSIVE. I’m actually amazed it didn’t completely split apart.
It really is amazing what the block can endure to stay together.
For sure, by the time I finished watching the deconstruction I was more amazed that the engine block itself was still in one piece 🤣 The noise it must have made when it was coming apart must've sounded like the entire car was about to fall to pieces, not just the engine!!!!
I definitely saw a brief glimpse of a crack down the side of the block.
That engine aspired to be a fifties Buick..hence the three holes in the side
That block mostly held in a SERIOUS explosion!!
In my 50 plus years of working on all types of engines as a dealer tech from chainsaws to huge excavation equipment this engine easily qualifies as the most carnage ever, the sheer savagery inflicted of these poor engines always blows my mind begging the question, "people can't be that stupid, can they?"
As always Eric, great video and teardown, thank you Eric for all you do!
Well yes, yes they can. :D
They can, are, and will continue to be THAT stupid
@@JimmyCasket02 I have to concede that you are correct, what a frightening thought, ugh.
i've seen alot worse...during a divorce, her husband put their suburban in N and floored till it stopped then cranked the starter until it caught on fire...5 rods out and part of the cam sticking straight up through the TBI.....Dodge van 318 knocked the cylinder walls out you look from the front cylinder through the middle cylinders all the way through the back of the block...and of course both customers only wanted short blocks ha Fn haha
shame the heads got hammered
I feel like some effort needs to be spent finding the person that did this! An interview MUST be done for the sake of all mankind! This person is a legend! They need a crown!
It was probably done intentionally.
if it waz a Yank engine then thay shood be Knighted
Yes. These need to be accompanied by the owner for an explanation of what happened.
Man this channel is just pure GOLD! Such wit and dry comedy! bravo! Bravo sir!
That's the kind of engine I'd claim had an electrical issue. The electrical issue being that the flying conrod ripped the alternator off.
🤣
You know that when this engine blew, it was most likely at fairly high RPM and it took a relatively long time to stop turning. And it was incredibly noisy when it failed. All those impact marks inside the block take time to create. Maybe a hundred revolutions of the crankshaft were necessary in order to make that many hits. At least.
At some point though as the engine is going to bits one of those pieces should have just locked it up. I'm thinking it got spun at high RPM like it was shifted into 1st at speed (downhill for more momentum) and then never let off until the vehicle came to a stop. There isn't a huge amount of oil starvation damage just carnage like it got over revved and self destructed.
Yeah, seems like it was a high RPM hydrolock that caused this
..Hydrauliced..
A long time is relative. Turning 3000 rpm it is doing 50 revolutions per second, so two seconds will give you that hundred turns. If they pinned it to the limiter it'd only take one second.
I wonder if they hit water at decent speed towing something heavy and that load kept pushing the crank long after the engine lost any power due to no conrods?
Bro, Please dont ever change, these vids are great!
Whether or not this is the worst of all blown engines seen on this (or other) sites is irrevelvant. This is predominately due to the fact that you, and this this site are absolutely superb. Please keep it up. M2, Anchorage, Alaska
I know nothing about cars and engines but I'm glued to your channel because you do such a great job of filming and explaining what's going on, with a twist of deadpan humor which I love. Thanks for the great content and keep on keeping on.
I didn’t know about engines. Now I do.
Same here.
I know the parts that you do this with are worthless, but I love it when you're like, " No, it's fine," and then throw it across the shop.😆
First and foremost, I have NEVER commented on a CZcams video and you are my first.
My husband and oldest son are ridiculous vehicle people and your channel is the only one I will watch with him. You make me laugh and “it’s fine,” “‘ole blue,” “safety bin” and “nuggets” have become a part of my vernacular (these make my husband and both sons stare at me with “bless your heart” eyes.)
This video made my husband laugh harder than any other video. He had to pause to catch his breath. It was fantastic. I laughed too but I didn’t really know what I was laughing at; the holes and your commentary just did the trick.
Thanks for your awesome videos and allowing my husband and I to agree on one channel we can watch together.
That is quite the carnage for sure! Was enjoying to watch~ Speaking of Hyundai and Kia, I have a suggestion for a future teardown for the channel: the 1.4L T-GDI Kappa II (G4LD) out of the 2017-20 Elantra Eco. I had one of these fail at 120k in 2018 due to metal flakes in the oil that were discovered at the beginning of a major 30k service. Engine still ran fine at the time! Dealer still warranteed the engine replacement even though I was outside the 100k window, but I never did find out what the cause of the failure was. I also heard the 2011-2016 1.8L (G4NB) Nu engine was another problem child of theirs which could be another good future teardown, but my 2011 I had 371k miles on it with zero issues.
Anyways, keep up the hard work and the awesome vids, good buddy~
I’ve heard stories of a vehicle left in gear during a flat tow. I can’t imagine how else there could be so much damage in that block.
HA! My buddy's dad did this to a VW Rabbit. Left the car in first gear, and hit the highway towing it with his class A motorhome. He noticed some oil dripping at the gas station, so he opened the hood, and there wasn't much left of the engine, HAHAHAHA! Head was OFF, carnage similar to this one everywhere, HAHAHA! I'd hate to be the guy driving behind that one when it let go! 🤣
That stubby impact easily became the most used tool in my garage, I think you'll be blown away by the bolts it will take off😀
Yeah I've been commenting to this CZcamsr for over a year about getting the Milwaukee 3/8 stubby M12 but I never got no reply from him. I kept asking him what is he doing running that M18 bit driver impact or his 3/8 Drive pneumatic when the Milwaukee M12 stubby would do both jobs and run on one charge for a couple days with the bigger battery.
That little gun is my most used tool. I’ve had one for a couple used years, and it looks like it’s been through several nuclear wars, and it still works awesome. Routinely takes off lug nuts and bolts, crank pulley bolts, and the most impressive I’ve got out of it was every head bolt broke loose on a 5.9l Cummins. It does like to throw its batteries out, but holding them in or the gun upside down, they stay in. I’ll be gutted when it finally dies.
It's really too bad that M12 batteries, especially the 6.0's, have such weak tabs holding them in. I've broken so many of the upper cases, and I'm not that hard on my stubby!
Definitely my fave new YT rabbit hole. Keep them coming!
That is without a doubt one of your best works of art! Please keep up the art form!
You gotta have some fun with sound effects when tossing the timing chain guides and water pumps. One of my favorite bits.
Having watched nearly all your teardown videos now, this has to be the top. The shear amount or damage to the block and oil pan is unprecedented.
Adding it all up. the fact only one piston/rod assembly barely survived, that most of the rods removed themselves from the crank, and the the wrist pins off the 5 broken rods either were smashed to nothing or left the building entirely? There's no question, this has brought new levels of destruction to the channel. Truely amazing. Thanks again Eric!
Edit: forgot about the heads being wrecked too! What a mess!
I love every time you say the water pump is in good condition, seconds later you chuck it and the sound is epic
Eric...you have a black belt in finding blow engines...well done sir 🙏
I'm going with towed behind a motor home while in 1st gear. The water is most likely rain water. This thing hit 10,000 RPM for a while until Grandma noticed the smoke and squealing tires behind the motor home.
I tend to agree here as this is most unlikely that it keep running for this long. This is more conducive to being towed while in gear to reach ungodly rpm levels.
That sounds like a pretty good guess. I can't see an engine turning over on it's own power long enough to do this much damage...
Interesting point!
The reason behind there being two head-bolts loose on both sides is actually a manufacturing defect in the block casting where the threads will stretch. Had to do a short block on one recently due to it being bad enough to cause a head gasket leak. Also explains why these engines are so pricey due to that being a common failure. But my god this was something else carnage wise lol
Since I have a car with this engine, this was indeed the part that confounded me. These bolts supposed to be torqued evenly just right. It does not seem that the hydrolocking lifted the heads?
What did you do to fix the bolt? Just retightened them?
@@franzliszt4257 I’m not sure the story of the engine in the video. But in one instance I had a 2017 Sorento that came in with overheating concerns. Luckily they had a third party warranty that covered the short block replacement. Unfortunately that’s really the only way to fix the issue because it’s the actual casting of the block that’s weak not the bolts. Kia is well aware of this issue and unfortunately it is pretty common once the car gets close to 100k. And who knows if the new block will have the same issue. As a technician I wouldn’t own a 2011-up. The old ones are rock solid before they went to gdi
Always enjoy your video series in here about tearing down engines that got trashed, either through neglect or abuse or just plain junky design. This engine had a real serious case of disintegrating metal mites on crack!
In my career in the mechanical field(automotive/heavy equipment/motorcycle mechanics)of 35+ years, one thing stands out as a determining factor: so many people treat a vehicle like an appliance rather than do normal maintenance to keep their rig running correctly. Sad but true, and you have a lucrative business dealing in these salvaged vehicles & powertrain parts that others have trashed in daily usage.
Thanks for a cool video, Eric!
"Gonna save that for the rebuild" Your humour is so subtle sometimes that I almost miss it. Can't believe I sit around and watch a guy take an engine apart, but I really do enjoy your videos. Cheers.
Don't stop with the dad jokes, punnery, innuendo etc, it is what makes this channel so much more interesting and fun!
I've only started to watch, and the presence of inspection ports tells a story already...
That's an impressive amount of damage. I wonder if maybe someone tried to tow this and somehow left the transmission engaged? I can't imagine it could do this much damage under its own power
That would make sense, pulled from a flood while in gear.
Would make sense if it had a manual transmission, but the 2016 Sorento didn't come with a manual in the US. I do agree though; it's quite incredible the engine could bomb itself to that degree under it's own power.
I am really impressed by that motor it kept on running to the bitter end ! above and beyond bloody awesome .
I know maybe not a super common engine anymore, but some people use them for turbo builds apparently, I was hoping to see a teardown of a 3RZFE, there isn't much out there on those and they're long lasting like the 5VZ you did, but quite different in design. Love all the videos, keep it going!
I think this was the best yet for sure :) the damage caused by those flailing rods is very impressive. I was most impressed by the inward dents on the block made by a rod & pin hammering at it from the outside before fleeing the scene of the crime !!
This is a great channel Eric .. entertaining and informative :)
The one wrist pin embedded in the block is legendary. Epic teardown!!
Hej Eric, I´ve been watching your videos with great pleasure when you and your friend ”Blue” tear down modern car engines. I find your analysis of the broken down machine educational and very interesting. I mean how often do you see the inside of an modern high performance engine. Many elegant techincal solutions. Was it Mercedes with the intercooler buried deep in the V8 ”valley”, nice!
I my youth here in Sweden I was surrounded mostly of 4 cyl cast iron
pushrod engines.
I like your humorous tone. Keep up the good work!
You sir have truly outdone yourself this time. Bravo 👏
Woo hoo! Saturday engine teardown!!!👍✌❤edit 1 Love the nuggets in the lower oil pan. Edit 2 The windage tray is a piece of art. A second helping of nuggets. Best one yet Eric.
“Gotta save this for the rebuild” 😂😂 this has to be one of your best vids, and I have watched them all, top work sir, keep them coming 👍
More carnage than an episode of Forged in Fire!!! Sitting here on Sunday morning, trying to figure out if the engineering on the Lambda was so good the engine damage was "contained" or so bad there weren't fail safes. Doug Marcaida would likely say "It will KEAL." As always, Eric, your analysis beats the sports commentators by a quantum factor...since you are right there DOING THE WORK. Not sitting in a skybox, saying banal stupid things. Eric--to you and your family--a belated Happy New Year.
Thank you Eric, We love these engine autopsies
I love your “subtle” way of letting guys watching know that used water pumps are worthless. 😂
Well he did save the Viper water pump.
This brings a whole new meaning to "drive it like you stole it"
That was a good one no doubt! Even my old lady showed some interest in your shenanigans this time!
A lot of these teardown videos are perfect opportunities to do engine timing how-to videos.
This is definitely #1, the most blown up engine on the channel. I've never seen damage that extensive before.
This is the carnage I came here for! Fantastic video as always! Love your style and format!
Everyone Sunday morning now I wake up and immediately look for your video, thank you for taking to time to tear this engine down and all the others for our entertainment. Brilliant and very, very broken.
makes me grateful the air intake on my mirage is right on top of the engine with the snorkel deleted and not in the wheel well like other cars
The piston ring hanging out the oil pan was when I knew we were in for a treat, this is the worst so far IMHO Eric
As the long suffering owner of a Lambda II in a Sorrento, there are a TON of ways to prevent it. This owner truly had the perseverance to see this through.
I am not Suffering. 2020 Kia Sorrento 42,000 miles 3.3 Liter V6 and loving it.
@@bryanwinter3289 Be patient. The GDI engines are very picky about fuel and oil. Even with the best care and feeding, plan on an injector or two (with the full fuel pipe hki) before 100,000 and a high pressure oil pump around 125,000, with the associated timing components. We won't be getting another. As long as I can find it, I'll stick to port injection.
@mausball I hope to avoid that. I change the oil every 5,000 or less. Only use Penzoil Ultra Platinum, a low Volatility oil and use a high quality fuel system cleaner at each oil change interval.
@mausball so basically, you are saying I should dump it?
@@bryanwinter3289 nope. Just treat it right. Full syn every change. Trans fluid every 30k.
Seeing the damage in this work of art, the only way I could see it having this mess is either towing it for a lot of highway miles in gear or somehow getting it to so seriously over-rev (70MPH into first gear?) There is no way someone could get an engine to do this damage by just sheer acceleration or powering through a puddle. This IS the most beautiful piece of art you have shown us so far!
This core is the T2000 of engine catastrophes. It. Just. Keeps. Coming. BAAAAAAaacccck! This thing stayed for the extra innings, took a running leap off a cliff, turned around mid-air, and gave a hearty salute as it plunged into the foggy depths. This one narrowly beats the Ford Modular with 4 pistons at TDC.
Hi Eric, Most carnage I've seen on your channel. Truly amazing how much damage could be done in what must have been a few seconds at the end of this engine's life. Made my Saturday evening. Keep up the good work!
Holy Cow. I've torn down some messed up ones, a few of which I messed up. I've never seen carnage like that one. Kudos Eric!
I love your videos. Your dry humor is better than any comedian. If ever you get a 3.0 ford eco boost in I would love to see that. I have one in a 20 explorer AWD Platinum that I love. But I have never seen the engine underneath all the BS covers. I hate working on engines, so I really enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the great work!
Eric, I know it's going to be a fun video when I can expect you to be finding Piston McNugget's in the last part of the tear down. Thanks for another entertaining evening!
Hello from NW Arkansas! This one definitely wins the carnage award. That windage tray will make a great addition to your desk display.
Appreciate all you do!
Wow that engine is the definition of “power through it”. The best rod is what a lot of cores worst rods look like.
Hi Eric. I can't believe what I just saw. If it wasn't for your "Tear Down", Aussies call it a dismantling, I would not imagine this much destruction could be done to a car engine. Well done Eric
Love your vids! You should consider opening a museum as an ode to engines that were. Separate them into different galleries by what caused the catastrophe-lack of oil, neglect etc.
This one gets my vote for the most destroyed engine so far. I'd agree with Erics diagnosis of hydrolocking - and at considerable engine speed too, perhapa a full throttle attempt at powering through deep water. Very entertaining in Erics inimitable style!
I love your genuine reaction when you pull the windage tray. Talk about Carnage this motor epitomized it!
I loved this one, so much carnage. You always stop at the block, but could you do some head tear down? You could keep a record for most bent valve by angle? Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching it every Sunday (for me).
Lovely, Eric!
having watched your whole catalog of videos, this is number 1. Shoutout to the previous owner who probably put a brick on the gas pedal and let the car drive itself drive it into a pond.
Wow. The insides of the block look like it was hit with an anti-tank round.
I really enjoy every one of these engine tear downs. I did a number of engine rebuilds “back in the day’, the old school overhead valve, cam in the block cast iron engines of the 60s - 70s. Watching you tear these down shows me how much things have changed since then and how very uncomfortable I would be with these. Please keep doing this to remind me why I no longer work on cars, if someone needs a 1974 slant 6 rebuilt, that’s a possibility but I thank you for showing me what I am missing.
But I have to ask you, do any of the engineers or people involved in designing or building the engines you’ve “autopsied” ever contact you? Seems like you could give them some good insight.
That Ford 1.0l, 3 cylinder has to be one of the all time classic POC engines - along with Chrysler’s 2.7 V6 and the 140 Vega engines. All three companies produced - and continue to produce some engines that are real stalwarts among their peers, but these, you look at them and you can only say what were they thinking?
My bet is that this thing started knocking, and someone just decided to hold the gas pedal to the floor until it blew impressively! Well done!
200K I gotta see your chain collection, Eric!
Edit: I have NEVER EVER seen so much destruction in one single engine! I can only imagine the sounds it made...
The rod that cozied up in the bore like that is just insane
As the owner of a 2016 Kia Sorento with the V6, this video has my attention.
My 2018 v6 has been great! Wondering how they did this.
@@toddaulner5393 Hydrolock.. Run through floodwater, rivers, etc.
Carnage aside (and it was SPECTACULAR), I was really impressed by the engineering of the parts and engine as a whole. That's what F1 engines looked like inside not so many years ago....
Don’t underestimate the stubby. It can remove headbolts. Not that you should, just that it can.
Those are positive crankcase ventilation ports - eliminates the need for a PCV valve.
Eric, I agree 100%, this is the worst, high grade damage yet. I do have a theory, when you were first pointing out the dents of the wind-age pan, I believe that they occurred from an "internal space meteor storm", and maybe the reason for the missing wrist pins is the rods & pistons had carpal pinitus, I'm hoping it's not contagious.
There's one thing I would like to ask of you, how about having your wife be a special guest star and assist you in a tear down, this could be really good if she has a personality like you, and thanks for doing these videos, very educational & entertaining.
There was a Crown Vic V8 which had all its pistons at TDC, this one was similarly broken it seems 🙂
This is one of those video's where Both the Viewer's and the Uploader probably want to know what the person driving this was doing when it went Boom. This is just impressive as hell that level of destruction is just amazing and I'd love to know the story behind it lol.
If only the driver could be tracked down for an interview and asked a couple of questions...
Drove it like they stole it?
Wow! I have no idea how that engine survived long enough to do that much damage. Any back story on the core? Reminds me of a contest our local fair used to do; take an old beater, drain the coolant and oil, start it, pin the throttle to the floor and see how long it took to blow up. They would sell time ‘slots’ and if you had the winning time you won the pot. Best one was an early 70’s Dodge Dart with a 225 slant 6, it never did blow up so the fair won the event.
This is definitely the most carnage ever, great tear down Eric!
Best one yet brother. You rock, gonna be hard to top that one, but, I bet you will.. great vid my guys and I just watched, they're in utter amazement. We've seen some grenaded motorcycle/ Atv motors come in. Seen a few with bullet holes from other hunters shooting the quads in the woods for disturbing peace, a few We've repaired and got them running again with minimal parts.
Water not that deep, floor it, it'll float through it!! Love your commentary, my guys give me crap cause they say I sound like I'm shooting a video tearing broken stuff down, occasionally a run of F bombs etc. Love it keep it up.
That M12 stubby impact is a great unit! Just got one myself. Way better than the 1/4" impact driver. And a lot shorter as well.
Have a great day, Sir! o7
i have the m18 stubby and it's amazing
@@bradhaines3142 Milwaukee 1/2" ?
@@TheBandit7613 yup. same as 3/8 drive but with a 1/2 instead. i work on turbines so i need the beans in tight places
This was glorious. Thank you for sharing the carnage.
You know, I'm neither a mechanic nor a car guy. But, I find forensic videos fascinating. While this one was lost on me from an informative standpoint, as an autopsy of a grenaded engine it was wildly entertaining.
It will be tough to top this one I'm having a idea. Good Find!!!
oh man, I can't imagine what they engine must've sounded like when it let go.
Glug glug glug?
Hi Eric, you have a channel with very interesting content and you present it in a fun way. I only ask you one thing, please activate the subtitles since I am learning English and that helps me a lot.
Thank you for your attention and greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
@GS2008 - I hope he does but be aware he uses lots of colloquialisms and ironic descriptions so don't be disappointed if there is still a lot you're not understanding. But I encourage you to keep watching.
@@wickedcabinboyThank you for your answer, CZcams translation is not very good but among what Eric is, how he acts, translation failures and what I am learning I have a lot of fun.
Thank you
Looks like you had a fun time pulling this apart.
Love the carnage! Keep up the great work.
Easily top 3 status with this one. It's pretty ridiculous when you can pull the crank out after only removing one rod and piston. Starting out with more windows in the block than a school bus clinches it.
