I'm a novice with engines and really enjoy/benefit these teardowns. It helps me learn engine parts and identify parts, even it it's not always in the same format for each engine. As a rental service manager dealing with different vehicles, it certainly helps to know the basics parts to identify problems. Thank you!
Not a fan of "hurr Dodge sucks, Chevy sucks" or whatever, but I will never get tired of engine teardowns, even if you've done it before. Just like how I can watch Richard tear apart the same 4L60 every time. Keep it up man.
You insight into what is has gone wrong with this engine is very interesting. Thanks for doing the video - very good quality and a bonus - no irritating music in the background to spoil the whole thing.
These are fun to watch, it's like a little mystery, "What killed this engine?". And it's informative for someone like me who's mechanically inclined but I have never actually gotten to do something like this. It fleshed out a lot of terms I was vague on before watching.
For sure! The only thing I can think of is it was driven into deep water while it was running, maybe went into a lake, canal, or river when the driver fell asleep or something similar. Maybe in the north and they were driving it on a frozen lake that wasn't frozen as much as they thought, then it sat at the bottom for a while until the ice thawed and someone could dive in and get a chain on it.
@@wirenutt57 You dont need to drive in a river for that. Depending on the car a slightly flooded parking space is enough, because if the air intake is mountet low, thats it for engine. A colleague of mine destroyed a new BMW that way.
I work at an auto wreckers, in a dismantle building. Your videos have been so essential to that job! I can't begin to express how informative your videos have been! Cheers, and thankyou!
@@bigozo1981 No, there isn't. I was laughing at the joke he was making about Happy Gilmore. Subscribers are always asking him to imitate Adam Sandler by saying " Tap, Tap , Tappy Tap. Read the comments from earlier vids and you'll understand....👍
Definitely hydro lock. The rust coupled with the bent rod confirms it. The challengers have the air intake snorkle at the bottom of the front end for some reason. Even the most shallow puddle could get sucked in.
Your video camera work and editing are starting to be in the Excellent range. Dont discount people seeing the same thing being taken apart as being boring or that they will not watch it. I have watched a guy pull transmissions down for the past year and most are the same ones. He teaches so much and its hard to catch a lot of what he is doing in the 10 prior videos that its interesting to watch him anew. Also we love seeing broke stuff.
New viewer here, great videos. It'd be cool to see more of the process, honing the bores, running parts through the parts washer, ect. I'd love to see those heads cleaned up and an analysis if they're still good.
Being an old geezer and having rebuilt many engines over the years, I cannot see how guys can destroy these Ford, GM, and Chrysler engines of today. They are so carefully machined and the tolerances are so right on the money, these babes should last forever with a little bit of care and common sense......and this is coming from a guy that pushed his engines hard, both on the strip/street and roundy-round. It's almost like these guys WANT to tear up these jewels. Dunno.....maybe their Daddies picked up the bill on these cars.....I just can't figure out the wanton damage.
I'm not mechanically inclined...and have no idea of the names of the parts you're inspecting. But this is now my favorite channel. I learn a lot, and you present the information so even somebody like myself can follow along.
"All engines blow-up" Amen brother! Given enough time every car company makes some duds. And of course there is the ever dangerous vehicle owner doing his/her best to destroy a running engine.....
Love the 6.1 tear downs. In the middle of a 6.1 based 426 build. I'm sure you know this but you can make an easy cam removal tool by welding a rod to a cam bolt. Gives you way better leverage.
Just as easy is get a short piece of all-thread and screw an old junk cam into the front of a cam you want to remove. It will work like a balancing counterweight and/or a lever to better control the cam removal without beating up the cam bearings, or cam lobes.
The intake for these cars is at the bottom. Another brilliant Dodge design flaw. But driving through even a small puddle or hauling ass in the heavy rain is enough to soak that filter and probably sat at idle for a bit and then put the car under heavy load hitting the gas, sucked in all that water on a soaked filter...must have thought they hit an open sewer main or ran over a 4 inch chunk of concrete when that hit. I bet that sounded glorious..
it's no where near the bottom the airbox pulls from the bottom of the apron like 2' off the ground. If this damage happened with a stock airbox you can bet that front end was under a foot or more of water. My guess is they had an aftermarket fender pull CAI that hung down much lower than stock.
It's rather therapeutic watching engines get taken apart. I find the same for transmission tear downs. I watch the TH-cam "Precision Transmission", and that guy is amazing to watch.
@@edwardmyers1746 it's just an unnecessary point of failure on these engines. Doesn't matter how many years the engine has been out, some of them fail due to the internal water pump and they didn't need to be designed like that. That said, it's a decently reliable engine overall, especially the RWD ones that don't have the internal water pump.
@@BuffMyRadius ford gives you plenty of warning that your pump is bad via a weep hole, if you let it go long enough to damage the engine then you neglected it, if you think the internal water pump is bad, you should check out some german cars then
This was the second teardown of yours I watched, suscribed just now...very cool videos. I used to teardown and rebuild lots of motors, my last was an Oldsmobile 455 Rocket ...but it was many moons ago...too broken down now for the big motors...only motorcycle and gokart engines now. Will be watching lots more of your videos, like seeing how the newer motors are built inside...very cool.
Long pieces of threaded rod work fantastic. You can also take a scrap of wood and drill a couple holes thru it for the rod to slide thru and it gives you a nice handle. Works really well!
Seen that happen one time, mustang with 4.6. Going down road after rain and hit puddle, cold air intake wasn't sealed as most aren't, swallowed a huge load and taco'd a connector. Not enough to lock up but enough to change compression and cause a misfire. When I got car, did compression test found one lower than others. Customer wanted fixed, so I tore into it. Found rod with a slight bend. Replaced rod and in the wind again.
To bend that rod, the engine had to be running. And a fluid suddenly leaked inside that cylinder. I wonder if it has a sudden head gasket failure at that cylinder? Im very impressed at how factory clean these engines are! The recommended Pennzoil Ultra is doing a fine job! It is one of my favorite oils.
Just because it's the same engine type doesn't mean we aren't interested. Different individual engine, different problem. I'm learning a lot here. With these types of teardowns, you don't encompass all possible scenarios or indicators in a single video. Adding more is worth it. Besides, Hemis are a neat engine, even if they're blown up.
For future reference, a 50/50 mix of acetone and transmission fluid does much better at breaking free rusted parts. Even better if you use synthetic transmission fluid as it's molecules are even smaller, and will penetrate deeper, the acetone will eat the rust.
Nice video. Hey makes it look actually fun to tear down engines. I do like roaming around the local junk yards but I don't think working in one is my skill set. :) Very fun to watch. Thank you!!!
Old Marine Engine fix using ATF,youd be sursprised how well it works,during longtime storage you do what is called fogging the motor out,spray as much atf as it takes to stall the motor out,stops rust and loosens rings and valves as well,my brother worked at a marina for years and ressurected many engines doing this.
🧐 love the channel. Simple and to the point. I have disassemble and re assemble 100’s of engines of all types. Love seeing the little differences in design and structure. The hemi are great engines super simple to tear down. Tho they have valve seat problems it’s not that common to see, usually due to them being over heated at some point. And bad lifters tearing up cams on the later models. But the cam lifter issue was very common to see on LS engines also. I think they both use the same lifter suppler? The main repair they always needed was broken exhaust manifold bolts.
in 1969 my 327 Chevelle froze up on a Detroit xway I came home from grad school the next weekend and tore it down---I had a broken crank and 2 main caps had torn out--scrap--I got a short block and put it together.
i still have a 97 f150 w 4.2 .. when i got the pu someone had put regular green antifreeze in it ... the gaskets are made of alternative materials (from rubber) to endure the 300 k mile engine the glycol in the antifreeze will destroy the gaskets resulting in hydro lock the 4.2 did such and bent a rod.... it's best the antifreeze type sticker under the hood not be ignored
Love engine teardowns and the diagnosis of engine failure. Any idea what would have caused that rod to bend like that, hydrolocking? Not like something like a dropped valve as everything else is ok. Possibly it did get a gut full of water and someone flooded it with transmission fluid in an attempt to prevent water damaging the engine while it was sitting around.
You've got a great business and youtube content model. This thing is a content mint. This suggestion goes in the law of diminishing returns bin, but I'd love to see a compilation of like thirty to a hundred 5.3 GM v8 failures (what's in my car). It'd be cool to observe the many failure states of the motor and see what's most likely to happen.
Hey! It's nice to come across a small youtube channel with a good quality and a guy who has a charisma to talk this way. You are doing great, wish you best! Also: What''s the status of M3 E46? Last video left me unsure if it is working now

hey brother you always bring out very detailed videos, ok i got a lifter failure and probably a bad cam on my 2010 grand cherokee SRT8 6.1 hemi and now i'm collecting all the necessary parts to replace them but i want to know if i'll be able to remove the cam face/retainer plate were the chain tensioner is without removing the oil pump which is gonna be an almost impossible mission without dropping the oil pan in order to unbolt the oil pick up tube from the pump, please tell me it is possible and how, big thanks in advance
Love to see the tear downs Eric, looks like you guys are starting to see some growth here on the channel as well! Who does all the filming, lighting, and editing?

The bent rod looks like they drove it into some deep water, or they tried to start it after a flood. This would also cause all of that rust!
That was my guess as well, hydro-lock, specially since the rest of the engine/block looked like it had been decently taken care of.
Yep, looks like water ingestion. Engine is nice and clean otherwise.
Little bit of hydrolock going on there!
For sure! The only thing I can think of is it was driven into deep water while it was running, maybe went into a lake, canal, or river when the driver fell asleep or something similar.
