  1. Run the Amsoil Signature Series oil and you will be good.
    14
  2. It's amazing what not doing routine maintenance does to an engine. 3 engines and all it would have taken would be to check the oil level.
    12
  3. Looks like a lot of that could be machined and put back into use.

  4. Eric, I think you might need an Astro Pneumatic 4980 Air Hammer, might make it easier than using a handheld hammer.

  5. Would be interesting to see inside parts you don't take apart, maybe with a borescope. Wonder if the block wasn't machined flat or the head, so it never made a perfect seal from the factory.

  6. I had a 2011 Prius and never had any issue with the engine. I took care of it correctly, which isn't generally what happened to engines that make it to Eric's video.

  7. Just remember to bring your safety squints.

  8. The oiled parts are going to look good if he ran Amsoil ;)

  9. That's not oil, that's grease :)

  10. In the US car manufacturers aren't allowed to have specialized oil that you can only get from the dealer, unless it's free, see Magnuson Morris Act.

  11. I had an Infiniti back in 1999. Loved it.

  12. That's not water, that's blinker fluid.
    3
  13. Probably use an oxy fuel torch and melt the bearing off.
    2
  14. That buzzing is just the low air pressure warning. It's the yellow button next to the red one on the dash, push it in to release the brakes and pull it out to set the brakes.

  15. Kudos

  16. Broken frame, nothing a plasma cutter and a welder couldn't fix :)
    2
  17. It has a Fram oil filter, enough said.
    2
  18. The "dipstick" tube is for extracting oil. They probably use an electronic sensor for oil level.
    2
  19.  @hdrenginedevelopment7507  I prefer sending oil samples to a lab to be analyzed rather than just guessing at some random mileage.
    2
  20. This engine came from a car that drove a lot on the highway at a constant speed.
    2
  21. The solution GM has come up with... change from 0W-20 to 0W-40 oil.
    2
  22. The side body damage doesn't look too bad. I don't think it would cost thousands of dollars to paint.

  23. Merry Christmas Eric
    2
  24. Ford did own Land Rover at one point, so it's not surprising to see a Powerstroke in it.
    2
  25. Time for the former owner to find a lemon law attorney in their area. The B8.5 2.0L 4 cyl is $10,000 and that's just the long block, not installed.
    2
  26.  @thomasfletcher760  It's the same tool, just the official designation.
    2
  27. People put oil down the cylinders to try and free up the pistons so that can get the engine to turn over.
    1
  28. Nothing wrong with aftermarket as long as you go for stuff that is better than OEM not low end cheap stuff.
    1
  29. I had an Infiniti G20t
    1
  30. Looks like the owner used a synthetic oil.
    1
  31. Oil is not the same as dielectric grease...some owners.
    1
  32. Wonder if there will be a flood damaged engine coming your way from Florida ;)
    1
  33. Wisconsin isn't that bad for rust
    1
  34. I'm sure Ford uses a rubber belt as it was cheaper.
    1
  35. It costs more to fix it than it does to replace.
    1
  36. Each turbo is probably with $4k
    1
  37. The piston rides in inserts that can be replaced.
    1
  38. Didn't Ray teach you how to take out dipstick tubes while you were in FL ?
    1
  39. You can always get all the oil out if you extract through the dipstick tube.
    1
  40. Why would someone destroy an Escalade not once but twice? Hope Eric can save what's left of it's dignity.
    1
  41.  @edwardspaccarelli5944  Sold it at 135k
    1
  42. Mileage is 184271

  43. Hole in the block = positive crankcase ventilation.

  44. It's not Yum Yum sauce, it's Yuck Yuck sauce.

  45. When you do an oil change you have to put fresh oil in not just drain the old oil.
    1
  46. My Audi checks it's own oil and has no dipstick.
    1
  47. Eric, have you ever done a video teardown on an engine with a dry sump system?
    1
  48. Wherever you get your engines from needs to learn about Cosmoline
    1
  49. Use a fully synthetic oil and use an oil flush at each oil change and you can go 15k but you also have to change it based on time too, one year regardless of miles.
    1
  50.  @BruceLee-xn3nn  Why would you waste oil and money doing that often?
    1
  51.  @MannyC711  If you use cheap oil of course you have to change it more often. If you use a good oil it lasts much longer and saves money over the course of even a year.
    1
  52.  @paulspomer16  Haha. The lab I sent oil samples to would disagree.
    1
  53. You can skip the walnut blasting if you do something like a BG induction cleaning.
    1
  54. Overkill? Is that even possible?
    1
  55. Have you ever taken apart an engine that uses a dry sump setup?
    1
  56. Remember, safety last.
    1
  57. They would have to have driven it more than a semi truck does per year in order to get that many miles on since new, doing 40k a year. So my guess is 70K
    1
  58. Might just be gelled fuel "science experimant"
    1
  59. Maintenance, what's that?
    1
  60. Lack of maintenance, sad.
    1
  61.  @iadr  Carbon did hurt the engine, then it was left outside because it wouldn't turn over. Using a good quality fuel cleaner would have prevented it from getting this bad. I work in the automotive service industry.
    1
  62. People that own Rolls Royce and Bentley cars don't care about speed they care about comfort.
    1
  63. There is another way Eric, an endoscope.
    1
  64. Dealer serviced means the cheapest bulk oil available.
    1
  65. Maybe an idea to look into why the check engine light is on? :)
    1
  66. Never seen a V7 engine before, lol
    1
  67. Soon as you took off the valve cover, lack of maintenance.
    1
  68. For those mythbusters fans "Jamie wants big boom"
    1
  69. Did the European market get a different engine?
    1
  70. Someone messed up, at the engineering stage.
    1
  71. Are the heads going to be in another video?
    1
  72. Time to expriment with that BG Dynamic Engine Cleaner and Rinse Oil :)
    1
  73.  @ratdude747  The engine is already dead.
    1
  74. Yes, that's how the oil filter comes off.
    1
  75. Why was I expecting Eric to be sitting on the wrench when it suddenly broke free.
    1
  76. No need for parts that dent will come out from inside the fender.
    1
  77. Hard water used in the cooling system?
    1
  78. I have a feeling someone else messed with the head bolts.
    1
  79. Does that engine have pressed in cylinder liners?
    1
  80. Looks like pancake batter.
    1
  81. You'll have plenty of good parts to sell.
    1
  82. Get this man a plasma cutter....and an air hammer.
    1
  83. Mechanical over rev and is it possible this is a non interference engine?
    1
  84. Sounds like a manufacturing issue.
    1
  85. I had a 351 in my '93 F-150.
    1
  86. Wonder if this engine came from the old channel - Will It Blend
    1
  87.  @thomasfletcher760  You can see a review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EUihNKCJXI. it includes Eric from SMA

  88. It's car murder
    1
  89. A quick clean with a laser will get rid of that rust in the cylinder walls.
    1
  90. Would have been nice if you cleaned the pistons.
    1
  91. AstroTools if you want a pneumatic impact and Dewalt DCF961 if you want a battery powered one, based on the results from the Torque Test Channel here on the Youtubes.
    1
  92. When you spend all your money on a car that you can't afford routine maintenance.
    1
  93. Finally, an external combustion engine.
    1
  94. An engine with barnacles.
    1
  95. My Audi just killed its second engine, this time with a cracked piston.
    1
  96. I think it takes about 12 gallons give or take a gallon
    1
  97. I had a 2011 Prius and never had any mechanical issues.
    1
  98. The whole time, I'm wondering why there is a box labeled Chicken Tenderloins under the bench.
    1
  99. Manufacturing defect like all the other recalled 6.2L's. Why do companies like Honda and Toyota not have any issues with 0W-16 and 0W-8 oils?
    1
  100. There is the option to switch to a waterless coolant.
    1
  101. Eric, you wouldn't understand, it's a Jeep thing. LOL
    1
  102. If only people would read the owner's manual.
