- Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! I've made over 50 other teardowns from Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. Check them out here • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. If you're interested in buying parts from this engine or the other engines I've torn down, email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
In this video I tear down a 4.6L 3V Aluminum V8 from a 2005-2010 Mustang GT. The very first on the channel! These engines are usually plagued by timing failures and owners negligence with maintenance. This engine was different, very different!
As always I appreciate all of the feedback, comments, and even the criticism!
Thanks for watching, Happy New Year!
Catch you on the next one! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

The connecting rods would make hilarious gear shifters.
No kidding send them to fab rats....
Perfect bend for an older T5 transmission, it would look great in a ratrod!
Yeah- hilarious- uh huh
Kmackay9554, shoot me an email at importapartsales@gmail.com and you can do that, got yourself a bent rod!
@@I_Do_Cars Just sent you an email. Thank you.
Here at the Ford Motor Marine Division, we scoff at those who didn’t recognize our unsinkable “bend don’t break” approach to producing the world’s first line of river car engines. The only thing stopping us is our collective imagination...and the height of our air intake. - Rod Bender, President of Ford Marine Division
Ford Marine is green all the way, we do not use oil but only water to cool and lubricate the engine.
As an extra power option we can supply a water to air intake cooler to decrease detonation and maximise power.
Actually it was probably some democrat who bought a new jet ski with his money from cov stocks and he didn't realize you your only supposed to put the boat trailer in the water and not the trailer and car
You're getting a rod and piston 😂😁
@@every-istand-ophobe6320 now that is funny...but only a trumpster would do sumptin like 'at
That's Awesome Mr. Bender.......That's what she said.....
8 bent rods... that's a feature. It increases displacement while reducing compression. I'd say it's a perfect candidate for a high-boost application
Nice one 🤣
Hell yeah just added 20psi of boost with lowered compression
@@johnsnow1355 i would say he more likely lowered the compression by adding 20 psi of boost lol
Eric has a talent for finding some of the most blown to shit clapped out engines, and the fact that the causes for the engines failing are diverse makes it even more impressive. I love this channel
@michael ruiz, shoot me an email and claim a rod! Importapartsales@gmail.com
I've seen a lot of times you were impressed that some engines managed to contain some level of carnage inside of the block without anything making an exit. I'd say this qualifies as the most impressive example of that.
Really says something about the sturdiness of this specific Ford V8 block/crank, would not have expected it to hold up this much whatsoever

@Orell, shoot me an email and I’ll send you a bent rod. Importapartsales@gmail.com
*Customer states* “I drove through a small puddle one day and now my car is acting different”
The same Ford engineers responsible for the Powershift automatic transmission, and the two-piece spark plug were promoted and placed on a special project to compete with Nissan's variable compression engine. One Friday night, they all met at the local pub... down by the river. What you have in front of you is their first attempt.
These rods did the “When she misses on re-entry”💀
Took me a second 😂
7:29 (takes off water pump)
“Looks perfect!”
Proceeds to yeet it out of existence
"Hydrostatic" drive... All kidding aside, very entertaining channel. I am about as likely to tear down an engine as pull my own teeth with a pipe wrench, but watching you do it week after week is fun. Here's to a great 2022!
@ian, you got yourself a rod. Email me at importapartsales@gmail.com
Like hydrostatic X suspension on the old original mini's.
Okay, the sound of an impact on fast forward is awesome. PEW PEW
Really enjoyed the tear down , I don’t think I’ve seen any one TH-cam as specific as this one. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At 10:20 in the video you could tell the rods were all bent, as all the pistons were not bothering to visit the top of the bores. That or this was the lowest compression engine I have ever seen.
Looks like one cylinder made it close. Just sell it as the worlds crappiest 1 cylinder.
I noticed this when he was turning it over. I know they leave some extra space on the deck. But most of them didn't even visibly reach the top of the bore
@@skurblord3401 It still works as a V8. You just put some 7.3L glow plugs in it and sell it as a semi-diesel.
Yeap, also saw that.
@@skurblord3401 1 cylinder engine that kinda has spares.
Honestly I would love to see the crank out with all the rods and pistons reattached to it. That rotating assembly must be a true work of art at this point.
modern art
I agree with Cathy (modern art), it would make a hilarious Wind Chime!
@@hkguitar1984 OMG. Can you imagine how discordant striking a piston rod that's been twisted into a question mark must be?
It takes a lot of force to bend a rod... I can't imagine the forces at work to bend most of them that bad. A few of them must've kept developing power/compression to bend the rest lol
i'm imagining a whacky waving arm inflatable tube man
Seeing the 928 reminds me we need to see more of it!
Great work, loved the noodle rods from this engine... impressive!
As an owner of a 2005 Mustang GT 4.6 3V ive looked forward to this!
Told Santa they wanted an LS engine, but got L and S rods instead.
Those con rods on this 4.6 engine went out on a bender! LOL Even they can't recall how they got to this condition...
4.6l 2 valve is very reliable
that's honestly pretty damn impressive. lends credence to modulars being invincible to everything except lack of oil, even all of the issues they're famous for generally won't result in catastrophic engine damage (except the sparkplug cannon).
Usually you can put spark plug inserts in to fix the problem
I love these genius new engine designs. I've always wondered how a variable compression system would work. Now i know, thanks man!
Btw I really enjoy your videos, greetings from Germany :P
Does anyone else enjoy the sound of the impact wrench at high speed?
sounds like a baby crocodile
Yeah, i pretend I'm firing a Phaser from Star wars or Star Trek. Lol
Pew pew pew
we all do ...
I do. Sounds like a laser.
I have got to say I have learned more about both how engines live and how they die from your channel than from any other source I've seen. It's been very instructive to see how different engines are designed and put together, as well as how people manage to ruin them. Thanks so much for a wonderful education. (And I loved that you did get around to taking apart the engine that I know is in my own Ford Focus.)
I see the folks at Chiquita are now making connecting rods. I'm happy to see the fruit and automotive industries partnering.
The owner tried to make the engine hydrogen powered, opting for high-density fuel Di-hydrogen Oxide.
Great tear-down, Eric. I wonder if they thought the power dropped off so badly because the plugs were damaged after making the car a shop-vac. Then after changing those out didn't do anything, decided to pop the oil pan to check the crank, then gave up once they saw the rods were Twizzlers.
It’s Di-hydrogen Monoxide…get it right…LOL!!!!
"I didn't even need the hammer" You sound disappointed, my guy.
This engine was seconds from Piston McNuggets.
A Urologist could retire fixing that many bent rods!
Like they say "you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make em drink." Apparently this mustang owner thought his engine needed a drink and then some. Lol. Enjoyed watching this.
That engine looked happy on the outside. But once you opened it up, what a surprise inside! I sure was not expecting that.
As the owner of a V8 Mustang from that era, I'm shocked to see someone tried to power their U-BOAT with that powerplant. Apparently they neglected to watch Risky Business, that's the kind of maneuver you perform in a Porsche 928... not in a Mustang. 🤣
Well the owner of this engine was a former U-BOAT commander.
Dude I love your videos, and your sense of humor. From setting yourself up for “that’s what she said“ jokes, to commenting on inappropriately shaped water pumps, to your sarcastic terminology on things like “adjustable length connecting rods“😂 every time you upload I already can’t wait until the next one. Thank you for bringing us this content
Bro, your absolutely awesome for the content you produce, and even more so for gifting those bent junk parts to your loyal viewers. It hurts to see a great engine from Ford being used as a water pump ! But the souvenirs that left behind our wonderful! Thanks
Back in 1960 my family owned a 1956 Ford Ranch Wagon, my oldest brother painted a piston with a bent rod that looked much like one of the rods removed from
this engine, below that he wrote "Rod Bender" My brother was only 14 at the time but had real artistic talent, so much so that my father liked it so much he didn't
punish him and left the drawing in place
I'm surprised that engine even spun with the breaker bar.
We're always talking about resized spark plug gaps, but these are the first resized rods I've seen. I was not expecting that either, and I'm surprised it turned over at all
Not to mention that none of the rod bearings looked damaged. Absolutely remarkable.
Happy new year! I hope you keep making these videos for a long time !!
Latest rendition of hydroformed connecting rods.
Excellent video as always. Happy New Year.
This might have been the case of "this pothole can't be that deep, watch me power through it". Then it went in, came out and the car was like a smoke machine, except it was water vapor coming out the exhaust. I bet the engine ran a bit cooler in the process..
Girl driver. Bet anything.
@@johnnicol8598 Or a way too confident/inattentive guy. Search for "Rufford Ford floods", there are more than 50 or so compolations of cars trying to go over a flooded bit of road. It's interesting to see the results..
So Ford is making 3 valve submarine engines now? Seriously that is a lesson in practical physics, and the compressibility of water.
And some strong head bolts and gasket not to let go,

I Really do respect the channel and genuinely learn a lot!!!! Thank You for the Great Content!!!! KEEP IT COMING!!!!
That was impressive. All of those rods bent and not breaking blew me away
FORD TOUGH BABY !! Lol.
I hope the warranty covers Peyronie's Disease
Hey man love the channel! Stumbled on you 9 months ago and your civic motor tear down helped me to diagnose my own bent valve. Keep the addiction going and I always look forward to videos from my favorite mechanical pathologist
Happy New Year from UK. Keep up the great work and the streams Eric..
Thanks for the HEAD BOLTS ASMR and happy new year
Wow, wow, wow and...... just wow!!! That is beyond impressive. Judging by the lack of visually obvious damage until piston and rod removal makes me wonder how that engine had to have sounded before it's demise. I've seen many of my share of rods windowing a block from a hydraulic lock failure, but never one in where ALL rod assemblies simply bent without breaking.
@Alfred Wedmore That's some very impressive engineering on the metallurgy side as well as process control on the manufacturing side. It had to be absolutely perfectly done.
all 8 rods are bent... This seems like from old anecdote: Rescuers tried to decode last recording form Black Box of crashed airplane, it was "Look what I can do..."
Truly , you play the stupid game of "watch me powering trough deep water", you will win the stupid prize like getting all rods bent.
Happy New Year to you Eric, love your videos. This is interesting how many of us being glued to the screen watching your next tear-down more so then by another Hollywood's multimillion dollar movie.
An 04 5.3 chev pickup hydrolocked . broke a rod, broke the block, and put a hole in the oil pan. never have i seen an engine BEND all 8 conecting rods. i've been a mechanic over 60 years. by the way. great teadown. nice job.
I see a theme coming on now when “nice parts” gets yeeted right to the scrap bin haha.
That water pump looked perfect! *proceeds to perform a three pointer
I've actually heard from several Ford guys contrary to what seems logical, the breakaway power of the impact is less likely to break a stuck 3V plug vs the slow constant force of a ratchet.
A piano tuner told me the same thing: the pegs for tuning the strings can break off if you go too slow. To overcome stiction without breaking, do it quickly. I guess impact wrenches are not as tough on bolts as one may think.
Yup you have to do it quick like ripping off a band aid
I’ve noticed this as well. Same way with allen/hex bolts rounding out.
I heard the same thing but still had 7 of them break off on my 5.4 3v
I wonder why people don't put a bit of anti-seize on the plug threads before tightening them to specified torque?
That's amazing! Wow, all of the rods are toast. Happy New Year Eric! I've been working on watch all of your videos and only have a few left to go. I enjoy your videos, keep em coming!
Like us humans and all of our fellow air breathing creatures, engines cannot breath water. Happy New Year Eric. Once again, thank you to Eric's wife and family for giving him the time to make this engine teardown video for the TH-cam channel.
Don’t worry those are just the new high tech variable compression rods
The man who did this is a magician
Literally came here right from the other "worst carnage" 4.6 tear down. Impressive to say the least. Keep up the great vids. Awesome content.
That one was a DOHC 4.6L
@@sheetwarrior543addmeonxbox7 - Yea....i know. Still both impressive failures though.
The 4 cam bottom end was complete destruction, yet the valve train was virtually untouched. That's hard to do no matter how it happened.
@@christopherweise438 4.6l v8 2 valve is very good.
That engine had so much water in it, I'm surprised you didn't find a school of sunfish in there ;-)
Just one crappie
Happy New Year Eric! May all your blocks be drained, and rods straight.
Amazing find 8 bent rods and it still turned over 👏
Too bad for the previous owner of that engine, but his loss is your gain.
Happy new year and keep up with the great video content.
@@sharibabazabeatrice6287 . *
That was not what I expected... A fantastic failure for sure! Hey, at least you can say you've seen an engine bend every rod now.
Best sound fx loving this guy
Seems like they tried to pull a Wrangler thing and go bogging. If only they realized they needed a lift kit and some good ol’ 35’s on in order to prevent their engine from drinking itself to death.
All horrible jokes aside, been watching your channel for over 6 months, been subbed to 5 and 3/4 of those months. Great content. Im learning things I never thought I would about all different types of engines and potential issues one could face. Love it, keep it up, and thank you for providing this lovely content :D
I see that this engine has the new version of adjustable rods! It always amazes me to see how bad some of these engines are even though they look alright on the outside.
Thanks for the great content! Happy New Year!
I've never seen a engine bend all 8 connecting rods and not bust the block.
Happy New Year, off to a good start so far this year, 8 bent rods!!👍👍👍!!!
Oh. This was only from today... Awesome... Thought this was old.. just watched both 4.6
I'll be happy to take one of those bent rods and pistons. I'd put it on my desk. I'm surprised that thing ran long enough to do that kind of damage. Very impressive.
Can you imagine being the guy who installed that engine? They probably spent hours trying to start it! Then, in desperation, they took off that oil pan and saw all those bent rods? I don't know about you, but I would have to resist the temptation of to ying that engine though the window of the salvage yard office!
There something about the sound those head bolts make.!! Love it
Somebody bought a flood damaged car, let it sit around for a while then tried to start it. It fired up a few seconds and made a lot of banging noises, so they dropped the pan and shined a flashlight up in there and said “nope”. They kept 4 bolts to hang the pan back on it so it wouldn’t make a mess and tossed the rest in the pan. All the windage tray nuts and pickup were still hangin so they didn’t even drop them, they woulda been laying in the pan too.
Thanks for the tear down video! I bought an ‘08 GT a couple months ago and this really helped me understand how this engine goes together. This is a perfect way for me to learn. 👍
Looks like she had a drinking problem.
Must have been a big hit of water at a fairly low engine rpm.Seems a shame,looked like a pretty clean engine.
Looks that way to me too.
I would guess, that engine came from Cleetus or Peg; Either way, that was "full send with ketchup and eagles into the danger zone".
I‘m way to late to this party. That said, I have to mention how the hydraulic lock theme of this video meshed so nicely with the garaged 928 at the end. This bought back memories of the Risky Business „Who‘s the U-Boat Commander“ scene. Keep up the good work, there’s lots to like on this channel.
The engine obviously hydrauliced. I've heard about this but have never seen the result. Only idle when crossing deep water. The proof is here! Thank you for the complete teardown.
I'm betting flood car bought at auction, but given a good detail before it was cranked over. So 8 cylinders full of water. Now if it had those bluetooth rods, and crankcase vents previously installed, everything would have drained and been fine!
I'm willing to bet the car had one of those cold air kits that sticks the filter down low, you know the ones that claim to add 50 bazillion HP when really all they end up doing is giving you a low compression 70's smog engine. I am impressed those rods held together, seen less bent ones crack and break.
What brand was the one you saw break?
CAI causes low compression? Are you sure?
@Michael Lorenz What the original comment meant is: having the air intake in a lower position makes it more prone to water ingestion when driving through puddles and such
@@michaellorenz7177 when it's to low and sucks in water and you bend or break rods then yeah your compression will drop 😂
@@vw5056 all brands will break, doesn't matter who made them, enough force and you end up with pieces of rods
I had something similar happen to my 1995 5.7L Silverado. It wasn't as severe as yours, and was due to a blown head gasket allowing coolant into 2 adjacent cylinders. As it turned out, when the engine was shut off, the remaining pressure in the cooling system was pushing coolant into the cylinders, practically hydro-locking them and making it difficult to start. Once it started though, it ran fine as the pistons were apparently able to evacuate any accumulated coolant through the exhaust. Anyway, I ended up with 2 bent rods, but it still ran surprisingly well.
This is an awesome spare parts special, maybe they put spark plugs in it to try land make it run. It looks pretty clean under the valve cover, more than likely this had seen regular oil changes. It doesn't look like the block had cracked, amazing
Some people surprise me. I never thought of using my Mustang as a sump pump. Looks like it got quite a bit of the flood before it gave out.
Someone boosted the hell out of that engine!! It seen way to much boost at one point and time. Hydro lock usually affects 1-2 maybe 3-4 at most. Someone was either spraying the hell out of it with a really good tune, very unlikely, or sent the turbos / supercharger to the moon also with a really good tune on it. To bend all of them and not have it detonate was a blend of things and they were doing a pull with a little more duty cycle. I’ve done this to a Hemi engine that the customer said was “built” when it was just a stock rebuild with a cam. I’d have love to have seen when it happened cuz I’ll be it was making a BUNCH of power.
I saw this happen on Cleatus McFarland's corvette motor in one of his YT videos
300 shot on stock block lol
Driving it into a lake at full rip will do the same thing.
Been waiting for this! Its my car!
You are terrific, keep up the good work!!
The good news is they obviously kept the engine well lubricated!
Too bad water isn't a lubricant
My dad and I were arguing on what displacement was. He said displacement is the amount of volume the engine takes in on all cyclinders. I said no it's not, it's how many liters of water the engine spits out after sitting in the rain.
Also you inspired me to stop looking for the common burger flipping jobs, I will be selling a miata transmission this week along with g35 coilovers
Thats one stout bottom end! It preformed as it should have Im highly impressed.
Happy New Year! Never seen rods bent that much and not broken.
You must have been hiding a Staples Easy button off screen for that dipstick. You NEVER get them out that easily.
I broke one off in the block on one of my 2V 4.6 V8s during an exhaust header install. Made me extra grumpy.
@@fourthhorseman4531 Did you have to grump-drill it out or...? Not sure the procedure there.
@@IncertusetNescio I used a reverse-turning drill bit and was able to get it to spin in the block and back out enough that I could grab the tube with needle nose pliers and get it out. There was some cussing involved. :)

That satisfying sound of the head bolts undoing.
I got a 4.6 mustang I really like when you pulled the timing cover so I can see how a wedge tool works
I love the mustang it's a pretty reliable car fun to build and drive he probably had the submarine mod and wanted to do deep sea exploring for that to happen and still run...ish? That says something good about the Ford v8
A steam engine probably did not put out as much white smoke but That seems to be an effective way to reduce compression for some forced induction.
Can't compress as much if your rod is shorter. * taps forehead *
Why bother with decompression plates when you can DIY it.
Just drive it into the water until you reach the desired compression ratio for your forced induction engine.
They also had an iron block version of the 4.6 3v in the 2009-10 f150. Interesting to see this teardown, nice video!
