It's a pretty big pin bro.

Bigger than the (probably) 5/8" pins holding the hitch inserts in their respective hitches.

This is by far the worst engine explosion I have ever seen.

the contents of the oil pan is AMAZING. Straight up rotating assembly mulch. The ends of like 6 of the rods are completely, utterly annihilated, melted, flattened, mangled. He has to shovel a solid two quarts of oil-coolant-metal mud/gravel out of the pan by hand and run it through the parts washer like a gold prospector panning in a stream to even have a chance of identifying any of it.

Oh, the crank is completely broken in half and like 3 main bearing caps are no longer connected to the block.

Taylor (other dude you met at my place years ago) and I were just discussing this and we're pretty sure it was in a manual transmission truck since there's no way it would keep running with even a momentary reduction in throttle after losing a few of those cylinders if it was auto. He thinks 9 and 10 let loose first (farthest from the oil pump) and it puked a bunch of poo poo into the bearings at the front after that, I was guessing front cylinders but he's got a lot more experience on this stuff. Guessing it was either coasting downhill for a while still in gear, or the owner just had that motor put in (thus the warranty tags on it) recently and was like gently caress it, I hear bad noises, I'm signing the death warrant on this pile of poo poo engine so they definitely have to replace it again, and just drove it till it stopped moving.

Those pins put up with some truly enormous forces in their intended application in agriculture. 600+ Hp tractors pulling 100 foot wide air seeders all held together with those pins, tho normally they’re in double shear!

The comments in the first half of the video about still being able to sell parts of the engine were… what I’ll always be thinking about when buying used parts. :gonk:

At about the 42 min mark he says he’ll never think about using anything from this engine but he might have just meant the bottom end. I’m still worried he’s going to machine and resell those heads. I did some fast forwarding so maybe he walked that back.

Overall 10/10 would watch again. :gonk:

He seems pretty conservative about reselling parts

quote:

Well!
After an hour in the parts washer, some more problems with last weeks 4.0L explorer engine have shown themselves.
Nobody will be surprised, but the heads are both cracked. Right between the seats. Not sure if this is the only place they crack but it surely renders them scrap as the cost to repair vastly outweighs the cost of a reman head.
We find this happens pretty often, the parts washer uncovers damage previously obscured by carbon, oil, gunk and junk. I would estimate that we probably discover 80-100 issues from having clean parts, which means a ton fewer returns, no waste of labor listing, shipping or dealing with a return. More importantly, it means I know what I sell is good, and I don’t waste any customers time.

In the used auto parts business, there’s always a risk of a defective part. They’re used, and sometimes you just cannot know things like oil consumption, or how a trans shifts under load after an hour on the highway. Nobody wants to sell bad parts, but returns as defective nails on a chalkboard for me. That’s why we do everything we can, and constantly find more we can do, to make sure what we sell is accurately described.

It takes for something to let go, but not something so important that it stops the engine dead right then and there. Lose 2/4 cylinders and the fun stops immediately; lose 2/10, and you've still got 80% of the motor powering through, spinning and chewing and digesting the bits it's lost.

IOwnCalculus

All you can say for certain is that the broken crank would've been one of the last things, since at that point the cam would stop spinning and there'd be no way for the engine to actually run anymore... aside from possibly "coasting" downhill in gear.

On the heads, I get the feeling he sells those sorts of things as cores only - wash it, make sure there's no cracks or other damage that's not economically viable to repair, sell it to someone with the expectation that the buyer is going to rebuild the heads.

Yeah I didn't watch the whole thing (just skimmed to the good bits) so I'm sure I was missing context about what exactly he hopes to accomplish by a whole teardown at this point. Once you see there's that amount of damage you'd just be telling your customer "ok so a new crate V10 lists for X amount in the catalog"

There can't be a single component in that engine worth salvaging for any amount of money exceeding the time put into tearing it down. Unless the youtube views are that valuable.

The youtube channel is advertisement for his shop, he usually states clearly when he finds useful parts, otherwise it's all in the scrap bin.

He also seems like the type of guy who does stuff for fun that serves absolutely no purpose at all. Remember this is a guy who got a car engine that was set running and his exact words were," I like a challenge. Even if it is a waste of time." Though at least in this video it served a purpose as the engine wasn't wrecked like in that video.

That Miata video was something else. I would have never had the balls to just straight up hook up a battery to something that had been on fire, and was actively trying to become on fire again once it got power.

I don't think I could personally trust the engine out of it without a rebuild (every gasket on that thing is probably trash, no idea if the head is warped from the heat of the fire, etc), but that was seriously impressive that he managed to get it to run.

You know the video traffic sends his yard tons of traffic too - both sales and cores. Yeah, he's funny, a bit informative, it's impressive seeing the level of carnage he finds at times - but ultimately the videos are essentially free* advertisements for his business.

*aside from his time, and the money he drops on cores - and you know he makes it back and then some 99% of the time

Yeah, he strips engines down for parts both to sell as good used and to sell as cores. From what I can tell most of his business is well known engines but he does videos on random stuff that gets requested in the comments on the videos he posts, and some of those that are really blown up he gets for basically scrap price specifically for a video if enough people request it.

He seems very selective about what he'll sell and what gets scrapped. I'd feel pretty comfortable buying from him. I'd probably toss a few valves and maybe guides in those 8.0 heads, clean up any burrs and dings from the pistons hitting to avoid hot spots, and run them as long as they're flat. They're 80lb of cast iron and the gaskets were still sealed fine, 99% chance that's all they'd need.

But everything in that bottom end is trash.

E: oh, who else noticed the cam being way way longer than it actually is? He looped a section of the video there so it's like a V16 or V20 cam :lol:

If you ever run into a Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car where every exterior light lights up with the brakes and turn signals (including headlights), someone has done exactly this with a brake light. Or managed to get the bulb in backwards (surprisingly easy).

How it manages to backfeed the headlights is beyond me, they're on a separate circuit.
