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. Here are some of my favorites:
GM Vortex 8100 https://youtu.be/qx_CkF8PTG8
F150 5.0 Coyote Gen 1 https://youtu.be/bxunl0uPQNg
8.0L Ram V10 https://youtu.be/Ot-GbhaeaDw
Audi V10 https://youtu.be/AMj5bIRqiLE
Today's teardown is a WILD one! This is the 3.5L Twin turbo Ecoboost V6 from a 2019 Ford F-150. This engine was a core return from a sold used engine, and unfortunately I do not know miles. It did still have the original plugs in it which Ford specifies to be changed every 100k miles. In this video I tear this engine down completely to try to figure out what happened and WOW, I was NOT expecting this type of failure! I wonder if this is a common, or an acute type of failure?
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling blown and bad engines to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply 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!
