Since hitting the 200k sub mark I felt it was only fitting that tonight's teardown include not one but TWO engines in one video!
These two core LS architecture engines were the "worst two" of the last batch of engines that came in... I would tend to agree!
First engine is a 6.2L L94 from a 2013 Yukon Denali. This is a 403HP aluminum block closely related to the LS3, with the addition of VVT, and DOD. The Second engine is a 5.3L LMG, from a 2007-2009 Tahoe/Silverado or other GMT900 chassis. Its an Iron block, 310hp engine.
Both engines suffered major catastrophic failures that were likely preventable, but don't we always say that?
Why do I do this? I own and run a full service salvage business in the Saint Louis Missouri area called Importapart. Part of our business model includes stripping down bad engines and salvaging the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do!
200k is just mind blowing. I never set out for this, but I am so elated to be here. I can't say thank you all enough.
I really hope you enjoy this double-teardown. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!!
-Eric
I think one of the reasons that you have so many subs is that you read all the comments, even the bad ones. I have also experienced on a personal level, writing to your company and asking a vehicle question… and you answered me. It’s one of my favorite channels and I hope you get 200,000 more subs!
I have been a car and engine guy for over 60 years, and I want to tell you that your channel, your teardowns, your humility and your good sense of humor have been a delight to watch. I wish for you and yours the best in the future, and I look forward to watching what you have to offer for as long as I'm still in this world. Kudos to you, sir.
Perfectly stated, Bob. 👍🏼
Old blue needs a medal the perfect silent partner to success 🎉😁
@@johnsnow1355 YES! And safety tote
Hey Bob. Is that a Yamaha Seca in your pic? It at least looks like a of 81 Seca 750. Sorry too ask but I'm just curious
I want to thank you for all the time and effort it takes to produce your content. My mother passed last June. A lot of tough times, and one of the things that has helped has been looking forward to your videos. They are fun, light entertainment and help to pass a lonely evening. Thanks again wish you and yours all the best.
Really sorry to hear buddy. Glad I could help distract you from the world even if it’s only for an hour.
These videos are a really good distraction from what can sometimes be a really shitty day 💩. I have put my "issues" aside many times thanks to watching these videos. Thank you my brother 👍🇦🇺🍻🇺🇲
Hope you're doing well. I've been there, and totally agree. My Mom passed a year ago. We knew it was coming for almost a year. At some point, every day, there's nothing left to do. I showed her a few youtube channels, and there were a couple she really liked. We'd watch, and she'd tell me stories of helping her Dad work on a tractor, or whatever. Or laugh about stuff. It was, in it's own way, a good time.
I've been in the auto parts business for 30 years. I am 46 years old, been doing this since I was a sophomore in high school. Been in the dealership setting for 23 years. Absolutely love all of you videos! You deserve the recognition! You're unbiased and love the humor!
Bugatti engine teardown. I'm going to request this everyday.
Good luck coming across one or affording one I'm down
USAF F-22 General Electric engines are easier to come by
Good luck with that
That's the 10 million sub video
@@Airman.. 🤣🤣
Eric you deserve YT recognition. We all love the effort and entertainment you put in your videos. We really appreciate your late night work. Keep it up!! 😊
I absolutely love it when you pull out a bad part, then proceed to be supremely gentle with it.
That and chucking the good parts across the shop are my absolute favorite parts
Congratulations! These teardowns are kind of niche entertainment, but apparently the niche is not that small. You are what makes this channel great. Never change.
200k Woo Hoo. Way to go Eric. A double LS teardown. 🍻
I remember the 100k video, so happy to see the growth! One of my favorite channels!
Yes , sometimes it's about the teardown but it is mostly you personality that shines through. Mix the two together and you have a great channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Eric for your excellent show👍
Please dont ever change your way you are doing the show with your honesty and flaws we love it👍
Who’d have thought this many people would tune in to see a man struggle with dipsticks
We all struggle with dipsticks, we just like seeing someone win. He can even use a hammer sometimes without repercussions.

You deserve all these subs!! Those Saturday evening teardowns are a treat, all the time, and those surprise project vids in the middle of the week!!
Your easy going manner, your knowledge and willingness to say you don't know, and of course the amazing humour! You deserve it! Congratulations on the 200k!
With how in the dunps the world is in right now, and with the recent passing of my father, your videos give me something to look forward to. Every Saturday night, when I get in bed I pull up my TH-cam and watch. Your videos are great, your humility, humor, and no-nonsense approach is very easy to watch. Thanks, Eric.
A new breaker to go with the shiny engine stand.
Harbor Freight is calling his name...lol
One thing about this channel is the visible pain in tearing down engines wether it is dead tools or engine parts where they should not be. It is all damn funny.
I wanted a proper burial for the broken half inch breaker bar.
The 2 things everyone loves to watch are carnage and fixing stuff after carnage, I'm not surprised at all the channel has 200k subscribers. Congrats on reaching the milestone, you really deserve it for your efforts and the humour injected into every teardown.
I'm no mechanic, by any stretch of the imagination 😅, but I feel like I learn a lot about how engines work and how they go together from your teardown videos.
Thank you, and congratulations on 200K! 🎉
"This part is in great shape!" *tosses it across the shop*
"Ooh, that's bad." *delicately handles it*
Never change.
My first thought when seeing this title was “200k subs? Must be an old video”. You deserve millions man.
Sir: You are what I call Automotive Forensics Specialist (You investigate how/why the engine died). I learned a lot from you.
As a retired master tech, I love the tear downs and the way you narrate them. You're a funny guy to watch and you have a love affair with timing chains lol. This is a awesome channel and although I'm up to date on your current video's, I'm also going through all the older ones too. Keep up the great work you do.
It is part of my Saturday night routine to watch the latest teardown. Thanks!
I was a state of Michigan certified master mechanic; I dropped out of that field some years ago and now I work on printing presses and associated equipment. Your videos tell me what a wise decision that was! I won’t lie and say my new occupation is a piece of cake; it isn’t, but I am glad we still have people like you out there, showing us the good, the bad and the ugly.
That 3-cylinder Ford with the “wet” timing belts is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen! At least with most of the engines you’ve torn down here you can see good points to them and your “autopsies” on how and why the engines failed mean a lot. And one thing has become very obvious - you love your line of work! Regardless of what we wrench, MECHANICS FOREVER!!
Fluid power tech here. The increased width of the oil pump gears will increase displacement. That means more flow for a given input speed. This generally will result in higher pressures, depending on how the pressure is controlled in the circuit. If there is a simple relief doing the pressure control, it will not increase peak pressure significantly unless the valve is saturated, but it will increase operating pressure if the circuit spends most of its time below the relief setpoint. If you normally have 40 PSI, and your relief is set at 60, you might achieve 50 PSI instead. It also has the potential to increase oil temperature.
The reason why I subscribe is because you seem to be genuine and to have knowledge I need experience that you're willing to share and I appreciate that
Congratulations on 200k man, youve defintately earned it. Im not sure where i joined your channel at but im glad i found it
Your comments are like talking to yourself. That makes it so enjoyable to watch your videos. You love your engines too.
1:08:19 Engine #2 sequence of event during failure, very well described! Love the autopsy report with story line. Keep doing it!
Your channel is the intersection of those who have the curiosity of how engines work and those that want to see piston nuggets. Double score!!!
*HA 200K SUBS, YOU'RE ONLY GETTING STARTED*
*Personally, I would like to thank you for creating this channel*
*Nearing 50 years of wrenching, I appreciate your enthusiasm and tenacity*
*Keep your videos coming, and throw a few esoteric teardowns into the mix*
,✔️👍🏻👌🏻🏁

Piston delete & the palace of malice. My favourites so far. Funny guy.
200K, we won't go away!
Eric, ever thought of using a borescope camera to preview the malice in the combustion palace for us?
wouldn't that take away the suspense of discovery?? I mean the reason most people come to watch is to see the damage as he goes.
@@davidmiller9485I wouldn’t mind a little peep show of the upcoming carnage. An appetizer, if you will.
Eres un hombre de carácter humilde, me interesa mucho el tema de desarmado de motores, es una forma práctica de saber si conviene comprar un vehículo que use alguno de esos motores.
Romper la breaker-bar.
:) Fue una bonita forma de celebrar los 200,000 suscriptores.
I watch these videos all the time, and even though my wife knows nothing about engines, she finds your humor and running commentary funny and comforting.
Your entertaining attitude and the genuine way that you present yourself is what I feel keeps your channel growing. Thank you !
"I'll bet we can fix this!" I almost lost it 🤣
I learn so much about engines watching your videos. I enjoy them very much. I bought my first car in 1964 and I have enjoyed mechanics ever since. Thank you!
I love your channel. Been working on cars for as long as I can remember. I love to see how engines are put together. Exspecially ones you would never get to see inside of. Thanks for the rocker arms and guide plates from the 454 the other day. And your sense of humor is spot on. Keep up the good work and hope to see you when you hit 500,000.
Congratulations on your success!
300K 3 engines?
There are soo many phonies that have channels now. Your honesty, humor, Midwestern personally come through and people see this in your videos.
Thank You for sharing the engines and your time.
Eric, your commentary is always so entertaining. It's rare to see such expertise and showmanship combined so successfully. Also, great videography and editing. I hope your channel continues to grow!
Hey, I don’t only watch your videos because the teardowns are so cool, but also because you’re such a damn good presenter!
Never a dull moment in these videos! Thanks for the entertainment!
Two engines for 200k? I feel like you're setting a bad precedent here but I can't wait to see five engine teardowns for 500k! Congratulations, well deserved milestone.
Congrats man, you deserve it without a doubt....but we do need more E34 content!
200k should not surprise you, your videos are awesome!
You absolutely deserve the 200K recognition! Loved this special video.
200,000 on the clock? Barely run in! Thank you for the wonderful videos Eric, wishing you and your family all the best for the future and here's hoping you can turn the clock back over to zeros on the channel!
Loved your live segment yesterday Eric good job!
Congratulations on the 200k buddy. You deserve it. This channel is awesome, man. Keep up the great work.
The indestructible reputation of wrist pins was only somewhat tarnished until this video. Finding one that was longitudinally cleaved in an catastrophic failure scenario officially ends the wrist pin's mystique of invincibility.
Wouldn't mind seeing a GM Quad 4 engine teardown at some point. Probably quite rare by now.
A great way to bring home the fact that regularly checking your oil and changing both oil and filter is for you to be an example. By first checking the dipstick, draining the oil, and inspecting the filter on every engine you teardown.
I just passed 200 subscribers, so I really, REALLY appreciate your 200K accomplishment. But hey, you deserve it. Great channel, great host, and it's like a warm cup of coffee when you need it. Onward!
been watching for over a year -- 200k subs and not a silly intro, bad music or bs ads. learned a lot and seen more than i could have on my own. my fav part about working in shops were the wizards that would show me their secrets. thank you for your vids!
Congratulations Eric! You deserve all the subscribers, I enjoy your channel on tearing down engines and South Main Auto Repair on repairing vehicles…by the way his name is Eric too!! Thanks for sharing your videos!!
Just enough to bring chaos to order!!! Nice double feature, thanks,
Watching your channel has given me the confidence to work on my own classic car...realizing that it isn't that hard to replace carbs, intake manifolds and do other basic work. Seeing how major components are put together via your disassembly is very educating and helpful.
Hello from Croatia...im watching you from the start of your channel 😊
Congratulations on 200k! Happy to be one of them! 300 will be here before you know it!
You rock dude. You always bring a smile to my face
That is good to know for 6.2L failure. I bought two 07 L92'S from a junkyard, bought turn over great I will be taking them apart before installing.
Congrats! I enjoy your videos! The carnage, the sludge, the used and abused powerplants of many manufactures. Keep up the good work! This is my favorite way of spending saturday night
Eric, regarding the 5.3 and it’s rod bearings, LS engines lube from back to front, the oil pump sends oil to the filter at the back before entering the rest of the lube circuit and coming back forward.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THE PAST YEAR OF WATCHING YUOR CHANNEL: (1) When engines blow, they really blow, (2) Wrist pins are typically built really well no matter who makes them, (3) You are one of the rare people who really love their work.
One plus to this channel is you don't play music. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on 200k. I am thinking your breaker bar was weakened when it hit your hard head last week :) That is why it broke...
For me, this channel is like watch makers who take apart dead Swiss watches. Except here, the Swiss watches are for the masses. I went on a road trip to help a friend pick up a 10 year-old Jag today. I drove over 100mph and revved my m52 engine over 6500 rpm. Swiss watch. To see where they break is to marvel at what they do when they are running. Thanks!
Well then I guess this makes me 200,001. I feel special. Can't get enough of this wonderful carnage. That 5.3 was so very satisfying.
Congratulations on 200k Eric. Really enjoyed the live show last night too. Keep them coming man.👏👏👏
Congrats on 200K! I don't think it will be long before you see 300K. The 200K special was fun, and yeah, stabbing an aftermarket oil pump in a 5.3 will not cure it from impending oil pressure doom
Tighten until it breaks, back off 1/4 turn. Learn it. Live it. Love it. Best, Eric!
Can’t wait for the 1 mil subs video. 10 engine tear down marathon.
Congratulations on your 200000 subscribers. I am one of 2000000 wow there is a lot of us gear heads that enjoy your teardowns
As a retired master mechanic, I get a kick out of watching you tear these various engines down. Also some of these came after I retired or was not part of my history (ie never done much in the way of rice burners!) Sure is ashamed how you have been shafted on a few engines, but to be honest, I've pulled my share of swapped parts before sending a core back too!
Eric, Congrat's to 200K !! thanks for the educational, entertaining video's !! enjoy the fame and fun while it lasts, remember, nothing is forever,
You're killing it dude! Keep cacking those cram craps loose!! Back to front as always..
The meling oil pump is going to be the standard volume pump(potentially higher pressure as well) where the GM one is the higher volume pump change for 07+ DOD engines. Wonder if that 5.3 being a DOD and them putting in a standard volume pump contributed to its demise? I assume they probably did a DOD delete however even though you do not need to change the oil pump when doing so however people do.
Congratulations 🎈🎈 to and your family and employees.
To your accomplishments to your videos. Your videos are very interesting and you can learn allot own what will kill a engine.
I look forward to seeing how your channel will grow. Again congratulations 🎉🎉 to you. Real Talk 101 !!!
Congratulations on 200k subscribers over 2 years since making the engine tear down videos! 2 tear downs on two similar engine blocks from GM are worth it for todays video! You are doing pretty well. Hope the best for you and more engine tear down videos to come!
Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers. I can see why you have so many subs. Your videos have a lot of interesting little ad-libs that raise the interest level. Well Done!
You deserve it, plain and simple!
Love your channel keep up the great stuff!
33:10 that lone ACDelco plug appears to be the dreaded #8 spark plug, the bane of Vortec owners' existence. This isn't the first time I've seen a GM V8 torn down with 1 plug different from the other 7, and it's always the #8 that tends to be an original plug.
Appreciate the work as always, Eric.
FYI I love the Pew sound your air impact makes when you do "Speed Mode"
You explain things like they are and is easy to understand even if I have. worked in the car business for ten years in the spare part section .
A 2 for 1 special. A good way to start a Sunday morning watching these videos. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations on 200k. I have never seen a destroyed wrist pin until now. DOD really sucks, doesn`t it! These videos help relieve the stress of the week. Thanks Eric.
Thank you so much for the commentary at the end on how to avoid such catastrophes.😃👍🏁🇺🇸
So proud of myself! I don't know jack shit about engines but guessed wrist pin in regards to the piece that hit the floor... you've taught me well
A Double Feature! Next time I'll get popcorn, this was so good. It had mystery (how did this happen), horror (broken wrist pin) comedy (1/2" breaker bar breaking) and action (testing each piston in their bores)! Also an introduction to Variable Missplacemet, an industry first. I see a very bright future for you, Eric!!
I do not know if I mentioned this before, but push rods can be cracked besides bent. Check them by dropping them on the concrete floor. If they ring, like a bell, there ok, otherwise they'll just go clunk! And pitch them.
My ex's 6.2 in her 2011 Yukon Denali had this exact same thing happen. Lost an intake valve seat. Luckily for us, it didn't fall completely out, just partially so the valve wouldn't fully close so we had a dead cylinder. It didn't do any other damage and it happened in our driveway in front of my shop luckily. So I slapped a junkyard rectangle port head on it and we road tripped it 350 miles the next day. I thought it was a freak failure. Interesting to hear that it's not completely uncommon.
You make a great channel thank you. I’m a software engineer by background and there was a time I chose between mechanical engineering and computer science and obviously I didn’t pick engines. I’ve always wondered about the other side and your channel is super informative and practical and just plain interesting. Wishing you every success
Congrats on 200k subscribers, Blue! And guess your sidekick Eric should get a small shoutout too. You should have him on more in the future.😁
Here’s to another 200k subs. We all love your videos and look forward to your brakedowns. Keep up the good work. Much love from across the pond
You deserve your success! Great channel that I look forward to every bit of content you create.
Thank you for your continued efforts!
Congratulations Erik & Fam on 200,000 Subscribers. Watched last night's dysfunctional Late Live Stream all the way to the end. Your Engine Autopsies are very Entertaining. Keep em coming.
Commercial landscape engines are never over worked, Kohler, B&S Vanguard, Kawaski engines are common on stand on and ride on large deck mowers.
Twice the carnage, twice the fun! Great twofer, and congrats 🎉
When the bar hit you on the head, you probably put a "hair line" crack in it. Congrats on 200K subs! Keep tearing them up Eric!
man. What a dad joke. I am proud
@@I_Do_Cars Eric, I'm 62 years old.
I have had two 5.3 Litre engines , one in a 2008 Silverado that I ran 128,000 miles and it was doing great when I traded it off. The other is a 2016 that I continue to run with 154,000 miles. No issues ever with either one. Neither one ever used oil and I did change the Water Pump on the later one. I do regular maintenance on the latest one and do oil changes every 5K and I replaced plugs and renewed the coolant at 93K. Hope it does not turn into a grenade like these two did.
The 5.3 placed in FWD W Bodies was more famous for shredding trannies.
