  1. Valve Float and Oil starvation, both from overrev are primary Gremlins seen here. Forensic exam of Vehicle ecu memory likely to reveal overrev cause(s)
    19
  2. The Loader certainly helped eliminate most chances of personal injury. Actually brilliant.
    13
  3.  @lomfmur  probably true but our shop liked to put exact same plug back in anything, just to eliminate possible issues.

  4. ​@Flies2FLL Disregard this comment. It works in many cases if used as recco'd. Presoak really rusty junk a day before then gently Tighten 1st before removing is 75% - 100% effective

  5. When you don't know what you can't do, the skies the limit in what you can accomplish.

  6. That makes sense. Thanks

  7. Well, it is a Toyota Spec bolt.......

  8. Looks like warranty repair by experienced tech who knew this bandaid fix wouldn't work. I'm surprised he got it as clean as it is given he was only paid warranty time. On a CP job , the sludge would stop teardown as only a fresh engine will fix Maintenance Malfeasance

  9.  @mattlacko4451  Typical modern Mopar experience

  10. Trans Life has lots to do with O'heat , Too. Keep trans temps under 190F for a long term friend.

  11. EZ to see the Economics and Simplicity of an LS Conversion for less fortunate owners suffering this calamity !
    4
  12. It's pretty technical mechanical stuff , not exactly what 2days pushbutton crowd gets off about.
    3
  13. Rare 7 liter block [$3900 new @ SD] mite be worth cost of fix. Aluminum is eternally weldable if cracked/broken. Then an expert sleeve replace. And Poof ,all that's needed is one piston , rod and rings, and 505HP is yours for fun and games.

  14. Toyota/BMW Supra has dropped this 4cyl engine from 2025 model. Only 3.0l 6cyl is fitted.

  15.  @zinstein007  Ya, it wasn't even broke in yet!

  16. If U Buy DI engine vehicle, make sure it also has port injectors to keep intake valves clean of carbon build
    3
  17.  @crunchytheclown9694  Ya , the laws of physics play large on the incident this broken engine is witness to.
    3
  18. Always put a new Delco in when job created access. New wires , Plugs , Coil too. Good preventative maintenance on nitemare design. Optispark was attempt to improve timing and EFI accuracy , which it did almost as good as crank/cam trigger does these days
    3
  19. Clever take on i6 design making it short w/offset cyls & GM W type (348/409) slanted combustion chamber down inside cylinders. Believe Performance parts were popular 4 it and significantly improved power.

  20. 'Chrysler of Japan' seems well earned credence , again
    3
  21. Wow, a good Iron 6.0 short block. Pay the man and haul it off for scrub, cam,rod & crank brngs. Add fresh wide gap rings for 10-20 psi boost or bottle. Keep it under 6K rpm for you daily's 600+ HP fun runs.
    3
  22. GM warranty doesn't cover deliberate O'heat ECU will tell on operator , unless Monkeyed with , also an instant warranty cancel.
    3
  23. NHRA NITRO Engines come close to your ideal, however the E Norm Us costs preclude general public use
    3
  24. The Ongoing Sucess of GMs LS/LT series pushrod engines should show little need for overly complex multi cam designs in light of meeting Emission specs and dealing with tight engine bay space. Not to mention reducing production costs !
    3
  25. 'Chrysler of Japan' seems well earned credence ..... again
    3
  26. Actually, normal for these engines, with only basic maintenance.
    3
  27. Euro's have yet to embrace the concept of K. I. S. S. as Honda, Toyota have on most their stuff. Overly complex doesn't make for better, but sure makes for lots more expensive.
    3
  28. LS was developed by NHRA record holder Engineers who worked @ GM. They knew what was needed and we're all the beneficiaries of their simplistic minimal powerplant marvel. The SBC legacy will live on ad infinitum
    3
  29. The slow carbonation on intake valves& ports , that DI causes (vs Port Inj) is the silent thief stealing HP by restricting Air Flow
    3
  30. Ford ceased N.A. car production (but mustang) after 2020 as sales fell, profit from them tanked. SUV's have $5,000-$10,000++ Ford Co. profit in each unit sold to dealers.
    2
  31. How would one of those ever blow up? Without oil they just stop.
    2
  32. Always put a new Delco in when job created access. New wires , Plugs , Coil too. Good preventative maintenance on nitemare design. Optispark was attempt to improve timing and EFI accuracy , which it did almost as good as crank/cam trigger does these days
    2
  33. Ya, head gasket replacement on these is a considerable task. Especially when they're a quarter century old.
    2
  34. Probably OK with normal use. It's hi RPM vibration that shakes stuff loose.
    2
  35. Only Toyota has a successful CVT. It has a separate launch gear to give normal Toyota 300,000 mile service. There's no excuse for selling expensive Junk to unsuspecting Pubic.
    2
  36. Nothing wrong with C4s folks. But oh what (not) fun fixing LT1/4 engines is. Overheated means it Must be removed and stripped bare for inspection. All friction parts save crank(hopefully) will need replacement. If aluminum head warped (likely) good reason to substitute AFR or similars and abit more roller cam should put it over 400 crank HP and still be fun Street action. Someone will expend 50-70 hrs (or more) just to fix and reinstall the engine. You want to use impeccable parts , because these engines are extremely labor intensive to do any fix. At least it's not in a Camero.......
    2
  37. Excellent Coyote 5.0 is evidence of GM Genius developing LS/LT with K.I.S.S. theory . Not only half as pricey, but in displacements to 7L. FoMoCo's 2020 Godzilla got them back in the HP/Displacement, simplicity program. More use of it would be good for repower markets, tho.
    2
  38. Subaru Engines have same inherent weakness split case motors share. Bore, crank brng dimensions distort .002 or more @ hi HP outputs. Available solutions will improve reliability. MotoIQ has short on theirs. Expect 5 figure costs.
    2
  39. Is It True that Excess Oil consumption also poisons Catatleptic Converters ????
    2
  40. Your chances of goal achievement are excellent in this case. Why buy nu when the old still runs ?
    2
  41. Hope you find a good one. The few i road tested after maintenance fixes were impressively kwik.
    2
  42. Not uncommon for BMW's getting scrapped vs expensive repair . If Repaired owners often trade shortly thereafter. Not just a BWW thing. Many Euro's suffer same fate in N.A.s exorbitant parts/labor costs. Especially if vehicle deemed long-term unreliable
    2
  43. Ya, your experience is a kinda normal Toyota thing. The broken crank is unusual. I like to use quality aftermarket dampers if lotsa hi RPM use planned.
    2
  44. Obvious Crash + Fire. Engine has salavagable parts, possibly fixable.....Occupants during Sudden STOP.....Not so much ,
    2
  45. Ya, 4.0s actually holdover from AMC 4.2 of yore. Cyl heads and blocks interchange allowing FI update on old AMC JEEP engines or slight displacement increase on newer jeeps !
    2
  46.  @hau5muzeek  In reality, but not necessarily realistically, every machine is eternally repairable. The current US Air Force B-52 , in service since 1950s as an example 😎, has been ok'd through the 2040s. Grandsons of original pilots now fly metal over 70 yo. A well funded budget is all it takes to aquire/make parts and pay the craftsmen.
    2
  47.  @hau5muzeek  Time to resurrect the 2JZ at least as a crate unit would be nice. Methinks sales would be impressive.
    2
  48. WRX's with LS Conversion run Excellent
    2
  49. Comments on 7.3 Godzilla internal failures are unsubstantiated by 1st hand experiences. AKA : Internet B.S. Aftermarket support is ramping up despite low production compared to LS/LT. Crates are available in $7,500 range (Jegs, etc) are popular for prodigious HP potential and even larger displacement than LS/LT can provide (about 7.4l max)
    2
  50. Is Intense Heat from Turbo area causing common 2-3 head gasket failures ???? Eh
    2
  51. Runted out of oil
    2
  52. Engines of little demand, but produced in large quantities indicate good reliability
    2
  53. Lotsa Speculation Here but no engineering reports on watt's causing obvious oil/pressure related fail on this half decade old issue ? Sadly the Car mags that told us how to fix 1st deactivation fails are all gone now. The performance industry hasn't Voiced any concerns when these same engines are modified for competition
    2
  54. If crank is still straight and frt maine journel isn't worn , the logical diagnosis is upward belt tension. A classic Example for Engine Service Guides.
    2
  55. Major Maintenance Malfeasance ruined another long life engine.
    2
  56. Kool Swap . That probably changed the car's entire character
    2
  57. CAUTION : These cars ADDICTIVE. I kept a 1998 GT I'd bought for profit for over a year after replacing its damaged motor with then available FOMOCO 2004 PI crate engine. 4spd AutoOD with hydroboost brakes. The extra 50HP was too much fun.
    2
  58. Stellantis chose to discontinue these V8s after 2023 , rather than developing them as FoMoCo and GM have. Kinda puts Chrysler/Ram behind the 8ball on competitive V8 ICE's ,eh
    2
  59. A veritable Rube Goldberg design of planned disaster.
    2
  60. Never Race UR daily driver. U'll do alota walking !
    2
  61. This short reaffirmed excellent decision to avoid anything Diesel in 45 yr tech career. Heavier parts and hard to scrub away smell offered no interesting challenges. Besides, plenty of young guns around to fix em cause they think diesel is kool
    2
  62. The vaunted LS . I started buying them after realizing they'll be in high demand for the next century or 2. Alum blocks , even more so . Super Compact[fit in anything] , Inexpensive High HP potential. All 4.8 -5.3 iron bloks easily bore to 3.90 LS1 5.7 spec.[$400 in Austin Tx] . If you don't have one , get it kwik , keep it dry. Lithium spray is a good long term preservative.
    2
  63. Oil Filter had nothing to do with this failure. Neither did design or mfg of Engine. Completely Owner/Op Abuse/poor upkeep. Oil Filter ,of course, catches Broken junk after oil pump sucks it from the pan. Removal of RPM limiter wasn't a good idea
    2
  64. Design Decision Defines Absurdity
    2
  65. Attempted Ins/Warranty job. Run w/o oil on purpose
    2
  66. Never happen-they run forever
    2
  67. Methinks your idea would hold good if water jackets OK. Were it mine , I,d sure give the old college try.
    2
  68. Watt would the costs in Machine Shop Service and Quality parts be to fix this Coyote? Wood it need Darton sleeves? Labor wood be 40-60 hrs @ $100 - $200
    2
  69. Another testament to how tuf the rods and pistons actually are. No rod yet invented would survive this Hydro lock event. Lack of maintence on top of hard use didn't help. Change your oil every 3-4k
    2
  70. Actually seems a well engineered and over 200K engine. Little wonder they have few complaints. No-Oil monster strikes again
    2
  71. Any internal diesel engine damage requires massive cash infusion for long term resurrection !
    2
  72. Xactly why Ford developed 7.3 L gas pushrod option to replace Mod V10 in 2020 F250-up.Its 430HP 475 Torque
    2
  73. Toyota had similar issues on 2.4 after oil ring drainage design change in pistons. Believe New Piston/Rod/Brng assemblies were the (est $3,000-$5,000) Warranty repair that fixed excess oil use in 08 Rav4 , still in use. It's oil was changed @ 5k intervals .
    2
  74. Very Rube Goldberg inspired Engineering
    2
  75. This verifies all the Rumors that a Porsche is going to be expensive , one way or another........
    2
  76. A Crank and Rod pair would fix this engine good as new.
    2
  77. Industrial Diesel Design for 3000 rpm , 100% loads is a different animal than ICE engines that spin past 6k , but usually little load. Each of this diesels cylinders is 1200cc !
    2
  78. Ya, they got a few unresolved problems. Engineering and product planning are 2.
    2
  79. Very Clever
    2
  80. You are correct
    2
  81. Many Diesel owners wish they had opted for this gasoline torquer....
    2
  82. When mazda techs started complaining about unreliable OE reman rotaries for their competition cars , I figured it's too complex from a service POV.
    2
  83. @ 175k , yaris is almost broke in. Be awhile yet before it needs attention.
    2
  84. As long as you're justly compensated for your time and talent, , unusual stuff is ok
    2
  85. Damage is Evidence of Global Decline in I.Q and Common Sense here.
    2
  86. Suspect incorrect diagnosis is behind needless engine swap
    2
  87. K.I.S.S. Theory Obviously not part of BMW engineering goals
    2
  88. Obviously maintence neglect issue. Operater kept it under load long after 'funny' noises started. The bent/twisted rods are testimony to how tuf they really are , tho many mite demonize this product of advanced mfg technique. Varnish indicates very hi miles, 150-200k at least
    2
  89. Would be cool to know what the 'breakaway torque' was @ moment of damper bolt release . Since the loader didn't come off the ground.is a starting point. Any engineering types out there ? I'd est 4ft breaker bar.
    2
  90. Needless Destruction of good engine, by failing to service it after obvious roll over, B4 attempting to start. So it died of Hydro-lok-itis, nanoseconds after cranking
    2
  91. Hope someone bought shortblock . Had nothing wrong. Dingleball hone , scrub, new rings , brngs & good to go another 200K. Erik's friend got deal on heads , OBD ll frt cov. Good street fun engine.
    2
  92. Something equivilent to Auto Trans Autopsy tables that fits under engine stand.................
    2
  93. Another Rube Goldberg Complexity Over Engineered Euro Powerplant , That's Inexpensivley replaced by a new GM V8 for less than 10% of fixing this nitemare. [AKA Hole that swallows $$$$]
    1
  94. Interesting that cast pistons weren't part of fail cause. But that needless oil pressure issues were as crank surviving bearings witness. All to common as aged vehicles often end in the hands of financially distressed owners.

  95. 'Don't do VW much' Not Much Worth Munch after 60k ???

  97. How many owners have gone bankrupt after suffering a nissan CVT failure ??? Not known as Chrysler of Japan without good reason. Engine looks like lotsa stuff added after initial design , just to make it sorta work , sorta !
    1
  98. Many thanks for your efforts Very Entertaining
    1
  99. Someone will have an excellent shortblock for good NA or slight boost motor. Doubtful iron block suffered any real damage since knock sensor boots look unscathed. A pair of LS3 or clone 2.165 Sq port heads and matching flexfuel manifold [50psi injectors] , plus hi lift street cam = 500+ HP
    1
  100. A good original Chevy Rat. I'll bet most of it's sold already. Seen folks clean out the rust and dingle ball hone them to reuse as stock bore with original pistons. And live on for decades. This one only needs a reman crank kit

  101. Hold Me Back !

  102. Hold Me Back !
    1
  103. It's totally junk. Engineering precursor to LS development. At least GM got it right so we'll have great power for the next century
    1
  104. Leaving the scored cylinder/piston issue unsolved seems abit fraudulent for this Mfg.
    1
  105. For lack of lube another Rat joins the legions of the needlessly destroyed. Little doubt Theory of No Vested Interest is a factor............
    1
  106. Common to see ford bearings worn into copper back in 70's 80's. Car would come in with oil pressure lite on after warm. New bearings, oil pump and seals[ All done in chassis] and out the door it went , good as [almost] new. Ya , most of the engines looked maintained, Parts suppliers said OE brngs were extra soft for imbedability.
    1
  107. I think he'll need the complete engine from this donor as least expensive fix for crashed car's seriously cooked/damaged unit
    1
  108. Mopar's Hemi a great engine..... That said, they make the absolute simplicity of GMs LS types (of equal power) an engineering marvel in compact pkg.. Not to mention much lower cost of acquisition, modification, rdy made adpt's to fit in anything.
    1
  109. Rods are excellent tribute to FOMOCO engineering design and material selection. While many cast unqualified aspersions on late model parts as inadequate , its obvious they can take a beating

  111. Sur Hope Bob didn't pay over 10cents a lb for known sparkley oil salvage piece. Certainly fluids would be checked B4 writing a Check for the victim of Major Maintenance Malfeasance .
    1
  112. RPM @ Failure moment is yuge factor in damage. This one typical of high RPM . Few blocks survive. Stopping as soon as noise starts is often fixable w/crank @ rods
    1
  113. Obviously this engine isn't repairable outside of MFG's factory. Interesting to know if MB even accepts them as cores !
    1
  114. Salvageable Short Block w/rebore , pistons . Good replacement heads better than any O.E. Lotsa HP potential.
    1
  115. obviously run without oil til it wouldn't move.
    1
  116. Have seen many of these engines opened for inspection years ago, none were reassembled. Vehicle got a replacement or was scrapped.
    1
  117. Good help is hard to Find. At least it wasn't 'expensive' !
    1
  118. Broken Splite Case Engine Vehicles are only good to own if purchase price was $0

  119. No wonder i gravitate away from all vehicles of European design, but gravitate towards any actually made in Japan. In my quest to for a vehicle with low long term overall costs.
    1
  120. Obviously towed in gear!
    1
  121. That would explain why it looks like porsche cranks ive seen in machine shops
    1
  122. As a Ford Tech noted previously here, engine not intended for internal fix, only nu 4 unit. Ford discontinued all US car mfg 2018 (cept Mustang) for non profitability.
    1
  123. ANY Correct Repair of this engine would cost the equivalent of four LS3 crate engines. (Or more)
    1
  124. The moron of the story here is tho we're on the cusp of self driving cars where a functioning human brain is no longer needed , Technology has yet create self lubricating maintainence free mechanical devices. Even Diesels need frequent oil changes.
    1
  125. 300K [with minor oil leaks] is well within the realm of your good upkeep, Trans can last that long with 100k filter/fluid changes in normal use.
    1
  126. Got a Toyota 2.0 hot enuf for valve seats to fall out 15 yrs ago. $600 just to fix head-had to be oven baked flat again so cam towers were bak in alignment, then normal head repairs. Plus the expensive block overhaul. Still driving today , 150k later.
    1
  127. Triton was engineering rush job to keep GM LS types from having the only 300+HP in half ton market. why
    1
  128. All domestic V8 motors are well made , last 100,000s IF reasonably maintained and OE stress limiters aren't defeated.
    1
  129. Why bother with any Mod when Coyotes available used @ attractive costs. Complexity nearly the same. That said , both much faster to service once removed than in chassis.
    1
  130. This burnt 6.0 LS is nearly , exactly what you see inside any domestic [Non-ECM] Pushrod V8 since 1950s. Metals are better now and much more accurate machining also. Cylinder head design is main reason power outputs continue to improve. That's why an LS motor will make the same power fueled by old skool carbs in place of it's ECM-EFI
    1
  131. This needs A VIN replacement part . Probably old enuf that ECU not VIN proprietary.

  133. Well,Nissan known as Chrysler of Japan.
    1
  134. Another tribute to Toyota Engineering where design is for the long haul . Most consumers more interested in stuff that doesn't crater before it's paid for. Most reasonably maintained Toyota's deliver that in spades. Too bad most new ones in short supply currently. Boss just put deposit on new Sienna van that has near one year delivery date. Happy hunting for yours. I already have old Camry wgn and nice 85 Celica GT daily drivers.

  135. This JDM engine obviously compromised by last installer !

  136. Ya, they don't look it , but they're very strong. They handled this catastrophy as good as any tru froged rod i've seen that's been put to the "Water Board Test"
    1
  137. Another vehicle Slain by the Jawbone of incompetent previous fix attempts. It probably quit running and was disowned shortly after botched pump replacement's smelly fuel fire hazard. Incompetent Repair Services have become common as experienced techs retire and fewer sharp minds find this work appealing. Many consumers suffer as result.
    1
  138. Valve Float and Oil Starvation due to overrev are secondary Gremlins . Forensic exam of vehicle ECU likely exposes primary cause of overrev .
    1
  139. Is it just a convoluted viewpoint or is this a Rube Goldberg engine design or What?
    1
  140. Raw aluminum melts @ 1221°F as sum parts of this engine did.

  149. Incompetence rampant in vehicle repair industry. Experienced techs few & far apart due to yuge training and tool expenses. 2 of 3 uncrashed vehicles found in junk yards because of this. Even this rebuild job shows the great labor expense needed for little profit so few are tasked to a learning experience. A Catch 22 scenario , eh.
    1
  150. Ya , but what fun is that, If everyone changed engine oil regularly, the replacement engine market would be sparse.

  159. Always interesting to see what caused LS engine fails , since it's likely The Power in V8 engines for @ least the nx Century. As most who've dealt with them have found, there's usually little wear on crank/rod brngs. Anything catastrophic is from neglect or improper aftermarket clearances. Hats Off to the Wizard Engineering Team who had part in this design And those who continue to improve it.
    1
  160. Pistons didn't show detonation. These rods are basically forged (powdered steel) and have seen long duty in many hi HP Engines. flaw in cast piston seems more likely culprick since crank still spun freely in block with all other pts removed.
    1
  161. Drian all the oil. Start and run @ 100% WOT
    1
  162. My choice also
    1
  163.  @karlschauff7989  did rich injector cause hydrolock or lean injector cause burnt piston? I've noticed on other teardowns, these LS type engines when hydrolocked, rods bend significantly (like forged do) before they break . Some piston pieces should have obvious burn (and impact) damage if run lean.
    1
  164. Subaru'skis can be made to hold up hi RPM use with $5000 parts and machining.........

  166. Ya , definitly an accidentally on purpose BBQ to financally help owner out on 10cent a lb salvage Euro. Pretty good ruse to use as Euros catchin fire in unusual spots not that uncommom

  167. Rampant Warranty Replacement for similar fails and recalls are making this engine scarce and expensive for all the wrong reasons
    1
  168. Quite obviously these BMW's arn't for lite on disposable income group. But then any M shouldn't be your only driver
    1
  169. Did FoMoCo warranty this under a customer service program ? Seems they'd want to see the core, unless they've already addressed what's needed. That cam's chain driven ,but oil pump has fabric belt is oxymoronic. This engine doesn't seem repairable @ shop level. Only for complete unit replacement as was done here.

  171. I knew something was up when the Techs @ Roger Beasley Mazda [who raced stuff with rotary motors] started complaining about not getting good refurbished rotory motors any longer from the factory back in early 80s. Surprisingly Mazda is still doing rotory development work as range extender for planned MX30 SUV sometime 2022 in Japan. 'Beating a dead mule' saying comes to mind.

  173. This was a perfectly good hi mile engine until Moron operator ceased maintenance and ran it out of oil. Probably had another 100k miles or more life til that happened.

  174. As you can see , these motors are well made with fairly good stuff, but rods and pistons are often upgraded for boost or endurance reasons.

  178. This type CVT doesn't seem readily fixable. Are They ? Up til now cost of repairs excided new cost which usually exceeded vehicle value. Rumor has it , CVT has better fuel econ for EPA CAFE avg, The fact these type trans crater easily making the vehicle junk not withstanding. This vid comfirms the genius of never buying anything with one.

  179.  @dougrobinson8602  ya, I've several Celica s with 22Rs. Not great power, but great reliability. Found out the hard way to always use OE or better parts and gaskets.

  180. Sketchy Engineering

  181. I believe most of those motors repurposed as 'Boat Anchors' in deference to expensive rebuilds

  183. Most of this engine salvageable for daily use than seems. Lotsa cleaning will bare this out. 241 hds ok for budget Streeter. 2" intake valves are great upgrade over 1.88" valve heads on 5.3s.

  184. This engine was sacrificed. No one is stupid enuf to ignore a Diesel's maintenance or the incredible noise it made during it's last few thousand miles. Think trustfund supported person who wished a different vehicle type sacrifice !
    1
  185. The price difference between these failures and Honda/Toyota is actually nil when loss of Use is factored in. Differences in resell values make H-Kia absolute non Wieners
    1
  186. Avoid Direct Injection Only Engines after 40K miles. The carbon buildup on Intake valves reduces HP gradually til it won't start or pull the vehicle. Usually the only fix is cylinder head rebuild, a $10,000+ cost on this motor. No doubt part reason many used late M-Bs sell for less than 50% of MSRP. and why the Well To Do don't keep these things over 50K miles. Late M-B engines with internal probs are seldom repaired @ dealer/shop level. New or Factory Reman is no doubt what replaced this disaster , tho did see EBAY used for $11,500. Labor X-tra.

  187. Hopes your scored cyl hones up good enuf for a better quality used piston to stroke the fires to keep lo cost 6.0 on track, Saw where Trailblazer pan came in handy on a Early Mopar A Body swap, K member still required sum rework. Those block hugger manifolds mite be gold for tite shock tower changovers. Looks to lop 2-3in off totsl engine width

  188. Nothing is forever , but this unusual fail gives us a look into a faultless hi HP per L, hi RPM street race engine design . All it's surviving kin are sure to be highly prized
    1
  189. The valve train complexity gives fair warning to potential owners..... You don't want to own one of these when it needs mechanical repairs. While the motor assembly is $20+K , Labor likely $10K

  190. Happy your E21 finally ready for nx owner. No doubt will sell above expectations , tho fortunately , I don't share your BMW affinity. I do find them interesting from tech aspects and their needless complexity in many cases.

  193. Iconic Vehicle recovered with Iconic engine. Both favorites 2 decades now and for all this century !

  194. The last few waterpumps I did on these destroyed the lug locks in the receiver housing from corrosion. Making for munch more expensive repairs. Computer would go into a limp mode of alternate cyl firing when o'heated,maybe.

  195. Good that Engine stored til now instead of more deserved recycling. Now a few parts available to nitch mkt + look bak in time that few have seen.

  196. Definitely hydro lock.

  197. Kinda oxymoronic. Many view this Ford 5.4L as a big engine.......... but view the LS 5.3 as a small one !

  198. 2.7 in an f150. What were they thinking. Talk about being under a constant load without even pulling one.
    1
  199. Passenger auto and non-industrial diesel power are nearly extinct as cost and emission concerns mount. So while this types design probably improved , it was discontinued and not replaced. Interesting show however , with not often seen fail

  200. Feeding non-compressables [water] into ANY IC motor that is running will destroy it

  201. Possible injector issue ?

  202. E-Z to see why Audi's fall into 10cent a pound class [or less] once drivetrain is wounded. Less expensive to repair a SaturnV Rocket !

  203. Saginaw PS Pump ! (Also seen on aircraft engines for Hydraulic systems!) Probably T400 also used. Then later these lux rides had 4l80e's.

  204. Motors and many transmissons tolerences are way beyond equipment and tech expertise @ most service facilities these days. Turn around time to prevent comsumer complaints a factor in favoring unit replacements common now. As a tech from the 70's, on I overhauled motors, transmissions non-stop . Motor work slowed alot after Leaded Gas disappeared.

  205.  @justsumguy2u  U are Rite. Factory can rebuild cores at least 50% less

  206. This Triton is engineering evidence in the 'crime' of Ford giving up V8 Pushrod too soon.........
    1
  207. They'er OK til you exceed FoMoCo design limits. Even tru forged rods woulda bent/broke with what happened here. Amazingly the Cast pistons held up. A tribute to their engineering. The Forged crank is a piece of art , similar to porsche race cranks, and was also undamaged. The fault here is how H2O got into this running motor . Mustang's OE air intake system is pretty much bullet proof, til vehicle submerged above the wheels. Or an aftermarket system has replaced it.
    1
  208.  @tdogj2084  Diesel's have their own set of problems , mostly emission control or related . Ford has 7.3 pushrod , 2v Gas motor option for 2021 f250 and above trucks as a low cost diesel alternative and v10 Mod replacment. It's GM LS type design is obvious along with its similar impressive torque and HP.
    1
  209. Pretty good reinforcement to recommended 'Never buy used BMW unless it's free'

  210. Wonder when a Ford Godzilla will be featured. Basically a big block LS type design that's been out since 2020 in F250 & up.

  211. You must not have to spend much time in 'stop&go' traffic . Used to enjoy 5 spd celica. Parked it for slushbox camry when 20 min drive became 1hr of slo moving parking lot.

  212. Definitely Ford Tuf. The EFI model is the best for transplants.

  213. Motor Serial's shoulda made this an easy case for any DA's case of felony fraud. Vendor should have noted return was not motor sold . I don't mind checks , cause item is held till I've cash in hand. Documentation paramont on all serialed parts to prevent fraud loss. Signage @ recycle yard I worked in 70's " In God We Trust - All Others Pay Cash "

  214. BMW critters are nortoriously overboard on complexity. Their propriety helps keep their foibles 'in house', away from prying eyes. Heat related ailments are common to many of their engines due to Turbo 'packaging' constraints. If this powerplant's replacement was a complete unit w/wire harness, it speaks volumes of expensive repair costs.
    1
  215. Ya, undoubtedly aeration type fail. Factory knows issue but hasn't installed Accusump type solution to prevent $25,000usd engine destruction
    1
  216. Wonder when Fords 7.3 Godzilla Big Block will be featured. Basically a large bore LS type design in F250 & up since 2020
    1
  217. Appears to be classic case of any repair costs exceeding vehicle value , including MSRP B4 1st sold. Was run with no oil pressure , Sump pulled 4 inspection[then reglued] , Owner unable to foot repair $$$.Then vehicle 'Accidently fell off a Cliff' Every reusable part is worth[at least] twice eng salvage cost. Cause people grow old waiting for rare European diesel parts. AKA, "you've been to the DLR, Now you've come to the Stealer. Pay your money ,and off you goes.

  218. This destroyed engine obviously replaced another destroyed engine. Kinda shows owner into destructive testing , minimal upkeep , but well funded at some level.
    1
  219. Only Toyota has a reliable CVT. Theirs has a separate low gear amongst other differences
    1
  220. Ya , most motors sit down @ trans end, Hence plumbers gravity rule applies. 'Stuff tends to flo downhill' Crank removal is by techs preference dependent on end result desired. Rods need to be pushed down abit to clear crank anyway, so many often remove the assembly to avoid damaged piston if it were to fall out.
    1
  221. Skullduggery afoot....? Appears to have been purposefully destroyed
    1
  222. These engines are Junk
    1
  223. The only way to ruin one of these is moronic non maintenance. Not a fan per se, but fixed enuf vehicles so equipped. Many over 250k. A few needed injectors , most just tune parts . It's actually the AMC 4.2 from the dawn of time. Cylinder heads interchange
    1
  224. Suspect vehicle was mud/river/canyon bogging @ hi RPM when a rod broke [from hydrolock.. Then Run til it wouldn't
    1
  225. The VW dealer claims of 'bad piston' was merely their conveyance that ANY repair of this engine exceeds vehicle value even if it's New
    1
  226. Engine's last owners quit doing oil changes, then ran it overheated til steam came out tailpipe. Foolish! Reasonably repairable . I'm sure it's already been sold to one of many who still seek these stalwarts.
    1
  227. Perhaps fixing a more reliable make/engine vehicle would be longer lasting contribution ?

  228. Having Fun Yet ?

  229. Really didn't need complete teardown.....Most of recipociting assembly is already in the oilpan
    1
  230. These motors not known for oil starvation issues , per se. Cautions for frequent [2-3k] oil changes &/or high quality synth oils due to heat/age oil breakdowns are recco'd to prevent fails as above showed. Motors subject to frequent thrashings, continuous Hi RPM ,etc need more 'Frequent Love' to prolong their service.
    1
  231. Be sure to add pint oil over full mark to help prevent similar if you ruf run your ride.......
    1
  232. Rubbermaid XXL Spatula
    1
  233. Massive Recipocating Mass spending lotsa time @ Hi RPM needed to get sketchy transmission in action to move 3500 lb load from dead starts appears to be the failure cause. Munch Lighter components needed for any chance of reliability
    1
  234. All the more gooder reasons to never buy one of these.
    1
  235. Your access to correct ECU and program its anti theft overcome major obstacles most face trying similar revivals.
    1
  236. Lo Cost means No Interest. Usually lasts longer than vehicle life. Complexity and Yuge size eliminate this well engineered motor from alternative uses. Those will remain the domain of robust pushrod V engines ad infinim
    1
  237. The Fact these V6's suffer common short-term fails is disconcerting as to acquiring one unless it's free of charge !
    1
  238. I've seen that pushrod/rocker wear on several LS type 150K + motors. Not so much an oil pressure issue, more like lube age breakdown, likely infrequent maintaince . In any case toss the old and new replace with lotsa asm lube,
    1
  239. Obviously Pedal Down Operation til it lost power. Unnesseccary failure is agreed
    1
  240. Home refinance would be needed to pay decarboning this Rube Goldberg packaging Nitemare. Toyota (& a few others ) still have port injection on their direct inj engines to eliminate emission&power killing carbon buildup..........
    1
  241. Few BMW owners every buy another after meeting their 1st major Repair Money Monster . This engine's design is interesting given the miniscule engineering staff compared to Ford or Toyota. This one's only problem was erroneous human induced contamiation. Otherwise it would last til the Turbo caused heat related issues.
    1
  242. bent , broken rods with undamaged pistons , rod brngs usually indicate hydrostatic lok as cause.

  243. Pretty Rare seeing timing chain ripped apart !
