    • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
    WOW is all I can say. I have always wanted to get one of these engines on the channel but I NEVER imagined I would find one blown up in such spectacular fashion. This engine has been previously rebuilt but its days as anything other than scrap, are over.
    The 8L Magnum V10 was based on the 5.9L 360ci V8, which is based on the old LA small block Chrysler V8. Coming out for the 1994 model year, the 8.0L V10 made a LOT more power and torque than its Chevrolet and Ford big block competitors. 310hp and 450lb ft of torque made these things a monster in the 90's. This engine is NOT based on the Dodge Viper V10. Dodge continued production of these engines until the 2003 model year.
    Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis Missouri area, and part of our model includes buying cores and dismantling them to salvage the reusable parts for resale. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
    I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, it has been one of my favorites so far. As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
    Catch you on the next one!

    Broken crank. Holes in the block. Busted main bolts, main caps, and even main journals in the block. Rods turned into modern art. Engine mayonnaise. I think you outdid yourself, this level of carnage is legendary.

    This had to have been one of the loudest explosions ever made from any vehicle that's blown up. I'll have to cast a vote for the most carnage on the channel yet with this one.
    Top 5 most destroyed engines on the channel (that I can think of):
    5. Ford 3-Valve V10
    Nothing survived.. maybe valve covers but that was it.
    4. Kia V6
    It may have had more carnage than the next entry, but it actually had a couple of usable parts (HPFP, maybe the cams but not sure how much value they have on their own)
    3. Ford Focus 2 Liter
    Single cheek repairs led to everything from that engine ending up in the scrap bin
    2. Honda J35 V6
    Customer stated the vehicle shut off.. I'm sure it didn't just "shut off" it imploded! A damaged wrist pin, 10-piece piston mcnugget, and 5 rods that emptied out.
    1. This takes the cake. I really want to know how hot it got to get those rods that mangled. It also has the most damaged wrist pin ever seen on the channel.
    Honorable mention: Mercury Marauder engine had the worst crankshaft I've seen on the channel, but the cylinder heads were relatively unscathed so it barely missed the list.
    Great video!

    I had a 95 ram with a v10 less than 10 years ago. They are tough engines! I bought mine for cheap, super neglected with over 200k miles on it. I drove it around for a bit, fixing things as i went. Then one day i went to replace a leaking valve cover gasket. After opening it up i found two push rods were pushed through the rockers. The lifters were gone, only pieces of them left. So i bought 2 lifters, 2 push rods, and 2 rockers and put it all back together. It ran great! Lots more power than before. I never did find the missing lifter parts... It ran great for me for years. Never had any major issues, it always started. The fuel mileage was terrible though. It got 10mpg all the time, city or highway, towing or not, always 10. I ended up trading it for a different car years later. They also made more torque than a stock Cummings of that year.

    • @edifyguy
      @edifyguy ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The lifters probably collapsed from neglect, floated in the bore at high revs, and the cam put enough of a whack on them that they shattered and bits of them landed in the oil pan and windage tray. Pretty harmless once they get there. It's on the way down that bad things happen. By the time you noticed, whatever was done was done a long time ago. I'm glad you got a long life out of it and someone else might still be using it.

    I am amazed at the carnage of that 8 liter V-10. That had to be one of the loudest explosions ever heard in on that road. The modern art that it made out of the rods alone was amazing. From the looks of it the cause was more than likely he was complaining of coolant usage and the engine rebuild company was like we are not going to replace it till it blew up. So the owner of it was like you want it blown up you got it. Then blew it up so spectacularly that they could not deny the replacement. Trust me I have dealt with extended warranty companies that try to weasel their way out of making repairs. One tried to say we will not replace the engine on an old minivan I had until it blew up it was eating coolant like candy into the oil it was the old Chrysler 3.8. So I flushed the cooling system out and dumped Dexcool into it. Then changed the oil to Mobil 1 synthentic right afterwards. The Dexcool mixed with that and became freaking JELLO in the engine oiling system and proceeded to cause piston 1 and 5 to leave the block out the side while my wife was driving down the road at 65. We demanded and got a factory REMAN engine from Chrysler and they were not happy as they also had to replace the entire cooling system due to contamination. Then less than 6 months later wife hit a freaking deer with it and totaled the van.

      The dealership that was doing all the work on the minivan was the local GM dealership and they were also beyond upset with the warranty company. They were the one's that refilled it with dexcool and the Mobil 1 oil knowing that when they mixed it was going to be carnage. Or after all was said and done the service manager called it the FU to extended warranty companies that won't authorize the proper repair the first time.

      My only blown motor so far let go heading east on interstate 70. It let go a 1/2 mile from Eisenhower tunnel at 11pm while towing a motorcycle last April. Got a tow arranged, and hopped on the bike for 2 hours in the freezing cold to get to my parents house.
      Still have that motor in my garage, waiting for the time to tear it apart and see what happened. Funny thing is, it would start, run with an incredible racket for about 3 seconds, then die (after it was towed to my parents house, not immediately after the initial destruction)

      It's such an understressed engine, why bother? It only makes like 50hp and 60lb.ft per liter. The four pot in a Camry is more stressed than that.

    • @BigUriel
      @BigUriel ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AK_Ray You're right horsepower is a smal part of the equation. The internal stresses an engine is subjected to are usualy measured in brake mean effective pressure, which is effectively another way of measuring specific torque. Which like I said is 60lb.ft per liter, which is nothing for a modern engine. A tiny 1 liter 3 cylinder Ford Ecoboost engine that they fit into small hatchbacks works under 3x the mean effective pressure of this V10.
      Compared to any modern engine this engine is like never working at more than half throttle.

Getting parts for these CAN be a big deal. Most times, it was just easier to swap it with a diesel. In this case... This poor Engine was definitely neglected... Improper maintenance, failure to change oil... .

    I didn’t read all the comments so I may have missed this observation by someone else. Noticed that the oil hole in the crank aft of the shear, the hole once round is distorted to an oval, indicating that the crank went through torsion or twisting before failing suggesting that perhaps that either the number or two failed first resulting locking the crank forward of number three and in the twisting of the crankshaft before the failure of the shaft,etc. Great site and entertaining commentary.
