A Rotary! Yes its been 3 years since I've torn down a rotary engine on this channel so I thought it to be rather prudent to reset that counter. This is the engine from what we were told was a 2004 Mazda Rx-8. This was allegedly a bad engine that my brother took back as a core when he sold a good engine. This has been in his garage for years! Not knowing the full story, miles, or situation, this teardown sheds some light into what can fail on these engines.
Every week, I teardown at least one bad, blown or core engine to find out what happened, what caused it, and what parts survived. Here are a few of my favorites from the past:
Mazda 2.5 Skyactive with only 30K https://youtu.be/72q69lb3njo
Legendary Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L https://youtu.be/n-5PfENW5z4
Audi V10 With INCREDIBLE Damage https://youtu.be/AMj5bIRqiLE
Honda J Series, Absolute destruction! https://youtu.be/3MV_TIBPNOE
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto recycling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up, core and broken engines to dismantle and salvage the good parts. We do not rebuild or repair engines, merely supply parts to those who do.
