  7. YEP, caught the damaged glow plug.
    16
  8. 1997 Honda Accord. 334,000+ miles on it. Running strong!
    16
  9. A automotive machinist that's worth their salt should be able to extract that broken pulley bolt. Worst case would be a thread insert. Grind undersize, and usable crank.

  10. Hey Ray! Good to see you!
    16
  11. Did you get your Subaru engine?
    16
  12. When measuring, make sure the wiring can carry current as well as voltage. A bad wire can carry voltage but not current.

  13. Big Bone!

  14. I watch with headphones 🎧. She's definitely not interested.

  15. Great video! Nice recording and editing! I have a '99 Camry with 440,000+ miles on it and still running well. It's going to rust out before the engine/transmission dies. All original.

  16. Do you think the tensioner failed causing this engine to be returned?

  17. YEP 👍!

  19. "Grandma, may I borrow your car?" "Sure sweetie, I've been meaning to get it into Hyundai for my 4th free oil, oil change. Would you please take it in for me?" "Sure Grandma!" . . . . Ring Ring Ring Grandma answers: "Grandma, your car just 'SHUT OFF' when I was entering the freeway!"....... "No I didn't hear anything above the sound system!"

  20. Engine would have definitely ran again with belts and head gasket.
    7
  21. That engine would match the milage of my '99 Camry. 430,000+ miles!
    7
  22. '03 Forester was using 1 qt/1000 miles or less. Pulled the pistons. Rings looked very similar to what you have here. Oil feed holes behind the oil control rings were plugged full with brown carbon! Drill and a little bit to clean them out! Haven't driven it far enough to tell if my ring job was successful. Can't see that'll hurt anything!
    6
  23. Yep, that engine would have ran with a new belt!

  24. Always enjoy watching these tare downs! Engines I've never had the opportunity to work on.

  25.  @kennykennedy6298  low tension rings is a huge issue!!

  29. 2003 Subaru Forester. Using 1qt of oil at around 1000 miles. ~217,000 miles on it. I pulled it down for the sole purpose of putting new rings in it. The oil return holds behind the stuck oil rings were plugged with hard brown carbon! I literally had to clean the holes with a drill! Haven't driven it enough to know if my mission was successful.

  30. Thanks for taking the time to video these engine tare downs. I get to see engines that I wouldn't get a chance to see. Some fun parts is the ability to understand what each part does because of experience with other engines.
    4
  31. Next engine tare down, carefully save the chain guides, then run them over with your forklift!😅

  32. At the time of this writing you have 406,000+ subscribers! Congratulations!!

  33. Oil rings look just like the two Subaru Forester engines I've put new rings in.

  34.  @rodneygarner9880  good observation!!

  35. A rod bearing WHO?

  36. Yes, that was a "FLUKE" measurement!

  38. "Except Subaru!" I just got done putting new rings in my '03 Forester. Got tired of 1000 or less on a qt of oil! The oil rings were glued to the piston. The little oil holes behind the oil rings were filled with carbon that was brown! I literally had to use a drill and a small bit to open them up! I have around 400 miles on it since the engine work. Don't know if I was successful putting it in a 12 step program or will it relapse? LoL 😂😆

  39. Do you think it ran out of oil?

  41. I changed a 2005 Hyundai Sonata engine that had a rod nocking wanting to see the light of day again. Got a replacement from a company that imports them from the mother land, Korea. I've kept the core an just recently pulled a cam cap to see if the head, or whole engine is salvageable with a replacement crank and rod. I'll tag you in the comments section on my channel. I don't have enough subscribers for YouTube to allow me to contact other channels.

  42. The oil rings are the same condition I've seen in Subarus.

  43. '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L 265,000+ miles. Doing easy on oil. Running well.😊

  44.  @jordantomblin2302  there's a slight ticking during cold starting. Doesn't last very long.

  46.  @prestonmiller6528  interesting. 🤔 The seal it mounts to the block?

  47. Thanks for showing me an engine that I wouldn't normally see! Enjoyed the tare down!
    2
  48. He mentioned it several videos back. It is a cleaver design!
    2
  49. Did this truck have a manual odometer? My 1985 Dodge plow truck didn't show past 100,000 miles. However, remember, with every push with a plow truck, they back up. When it backed up, so did the odometer. Plus, idling during winter with lower oil pressure can cause the bearings to be wiped out like that.

  50. "This thing is out of wack!" Give it more WACK!!😂

  51. Recent video on Ray's channel?

  52.  @Dratchev241  found and watched! Thank you!

  53. How is dropping valves related to not changing the oil? 🤔
    2
  54. My '99 Toyota Camry 3.0. I changed the timing belt at around 360,000. I believe this was the second belt. I'm guessing it had a change at 100,000. I bought it at 309,000. You should have seen the cracks in that belt! No , it didn't fail! Yes, this engine in a non-interference engine. With the new belt, the engine started a lot faster.

  55. Uncle Rodney is on a bender!! 😂
    2
  56. Yes! The most amount of bent push rods! That had to of been noisy until it wasn't! LoL 🤣

  57. I wonder how the cams compare with the two engines?

  58. Hey, like #300! How cool is that?!!

  59. 1999 Toyota Camry with a 3.0. 425,000+ miles on it. All original engine and tranny. Still running well!
    2
  60. "There's the effects of direct injection!" With EGR being forced feed!
    2
  61. Excellent video!! FYI That is a pump. Well, it WAS a pump! A compressor is the pump, tank, and other parts. This information came from my brother-in-law who works on these. I was wanting to upgrade the pump on my single stage compressor to a two stage. I started sending him links to cheap two stage pumps. This got his thought process flowing. He started building me a Quincy 5 HP pump. He asked if I had a tank. Well, he scrounged up a dented tank for me. Long story shorter, he gave me a complete 5 HP Quincy two stage compressor! Remember, this all started by me sending links to compressors, er I mean pumps.

  62. Today's trivia. RTV= Room Temperature Vulcanizion
    2
  63. Noticed that also!! Don't know why they do that!! 🤔
    2
  64. I'm sure that engine failed at an high RPM! That crank hit something a few revolutions!
    2
  65. Did you check the oil ring tension in the cylinders? "You said they came out easy, maybe too easy." I'm thinking the oil rings lost their tension and were no longer just lubricating the pistons/cylinders but allowing oil in the combustion chambers.
    2
  66. They make them. Search "engine stand drip tray".

  67. Haven't had a Felpro fail. 🤔

  77. "Catch can would have done this engine wonders!" Do you run catch cans on your vehicles?
    1
  78. If it wasn't for EGR, would direct injection intake valves be clean?

  79.  @malcolmjohnson5941  so a catch can would solve a lot of issues?

  86. It was nice meeting your wife, son and congratulations on baby #2! Thank you for explaining your business! I've only been a subscriber for just a few months. Your humble attitude when saying thank you says a lot about you! I enjoy learning what killed an engine! You take us on that journey! Many of these engines I wouldn't get a chance to see the insides! U started at an early age playing in the garage. Learned a lot. Destroyed things. Fixed things. Stay humble! Keep making that $5 for gas money! Hopefully, 100,000 subscribers pays a bit more. I don't have any fancy videos. Just short one takes. I might have something you'd be interested in.

  97. You definitely kept me laughing during this video! 😂

  98. Looking at that bolt, it looks like it broke last in the center. Stretched by over torquing?
    1
  99. The way each cylinder popped over when you first turned it over gave me confidence of it being a good engine.

  100. Technically, this engine would run with some connecting rods if water hadn't been allowed to stay in it.

  119. People get excited when the oil is a bit overfilled on the dipstick. In reality, how much extra oil is required for the oil level to teach the crankshaft and start foaming? 🤔

  120.  @pocketpc_  totally agree!!

  122. Do you have a community page that we can post comments and pictures?

  123. Doesn't look like oil starvation. Wouldn't the bearings be toast? What caused the wrist pins to lock up?

  124. A friend was attempting to make his wife more aware of vehicle maintenance. He bought her a '92 high miles Mazda Protegee. Something she could drive, neglecte, and blowup! Turns out, it didn't use much oil, and the cooling system was way over built. It was like the Energize Bunny! Kept going and going! I saw it sitting in his driveway. Asked him about it. He gave it to me and told me the story I mentioned above. I lifted the hood. The only thing wrong was it needed an alternator belt. I told him that, but he was tired of his "lesson" not working! 😂 I drove it for several years after that.

  125. Now we know what factory oil looks like! GASP!

  132. Purchased a 2013 Equinox when we flew to Vegas. Drove it back to MN. I totally understand the rust free you're taking about! I had to remove the front left wheel bearing. Remove the bolts, remove the bearing. Without a hammer mind you! It's got 178,000+ miles on it. I expected to have to add oil on our drive to MN. Nope! The 2.4 is doing well on oil usage.

I'm excited to see where your channel takes you! Having Ray's and Eric's channels linking to yours, this should give you a boost for your viewing hours! You might be able to become full time YouTube! I'm absolutely thrilled that you'll be getting your van back in 110% condition! I subscribed to your channel and wrote a book for you there too. I've also took a donated vehicle, fixed it, and gave it away. It's a great feeling! Blessings!

  142. Some high RPM carnage!?

  143. YouTuber Mustie1 uses bar and chain oil for chainsaws mixed with a solvent. Something that'll allow the oil to get into small areas, solvent evaporates, leaving the oil. Then he intentionally drives on a dirt road to cover the oil in a coat of dirt. He's repaired his Toyota trucks frame and then treated it. Check him out.

  144. Are the low tension rings the reason for higher oil consumption and people are running out of oil before the recommended change interval?
    1
  145.  @johngatsby1473  on your next oil change. Send a sample to an oil analysis lab.

  152. Changed an engine on an '06 Hyundai Elantra. Found an establishment out of FL that imports engines from the mother land. It's running well. Will tare down the old engine and see if a new crank, rod and rings will get it running again. Get a cheap car and drop it in. I have a couple of videos on my channel.

  153. Interesting thought! 🤔! Possibly the reason the pan was off..

  154. At what year did they start using the low tension rings?!!

  158. Replaced an engine on an '05 Hyundai Sonata. Before I pulled the engine, I started it up. Ran fine! Ran fine without oil. Ran fine without an oil pan! Could hear that rod a knocking wanting out. Just ran it for a few seconds. In the next comment, I'll post a link to me inspecting the top end to see if anything is usable.
