Here's weekly dose of your catastrophic engine forensics! Every week you can find a new teardown of some abused, misused and/or poorly designed engine. Here are some of my favorites:
Neglected VR30DDTT • 60K Miles on 1 Oil Change!?! Infiniti...
Poor Honda S2000 F20C • Honda S2000 F20C1 Catastrophic Engine...
The Nissan VQ40DE I saved from the scrap pile • Found a Nissan VQ40DE In Scrap Pile, ...
Honda J35 that deleted itself • Obliterated Honda Accord J35 V6 Teard...
Today we have another 2.7L Ecoboost V6 out of a 2018 Ford F150 with 131,800 miles! This is the second Gen-2 2.7 Ecoboost I've had on my stand and it was a core return from a sold engine from another yard. This engine was vastly different from the last one albeit some of the failures don't seem to add up! I'm not exactly sure HOW this happened, but the damage was done under load, that is FOR SURE!
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes buying blown up engines and dismantling to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild or repair engines, we simply supply parts to people who do! I've left links at the top to reach us about parts.
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

"Oil pump drive belt" shouldn't even be a phrase that exists. Thanks car makers, for racing to the bottom....

You didn't investigate why piston was rocking side to side, now I won't be able to sleep😂

Eric - my father-in-law is visiting today, and went to the store. When he returned he said he found something in the parking lot and held out his hand. He had found a socket. I said "let me guess. Is it a 10 mm?" He looked surprised and asked me how in the world I guessed the size. It was from watching your channel and learning that 10 mm sockets run away at night.

Missing the most valuable part the water pump, what a shame
-
The sawzall on the radiator hose had me chuckling. Thanks for the show.

A Ford engineer would tell you "We pulled $1.29 out of each engine by using that belt instead of a chain" and the look on his face would tell you that he was PROUD of what he had done...

How wonderful to get 2 tear downs in one week. You’re a wonderful man
-
As soon as you said why would somebody take a water pump and reuse it. I thought well that the engine overheated. Because it had a bad water pump. They replaced it and then the engine died. So the water pump wasn't that old. So they took it and put it on the used engine. Now I'm making this, 20 minutes into the video I could be totally wrong I have been before. So if you are taking apart a good engine why don't you rebuild this one that'd be a treat for the channel.

We all feel your pain about not having a perfectly good water pump to shoot from the 3-point line...be strong; there'll be another one soon, I'm sure!

Never was a car guy or knew much of anything about them till I stumbled upon this channel. Watched every teardown over the past year and love knowing how my brand new Subaru works and how to protect it. Would love to make sure my boxer doesn't end up on this channel. Cheers bro,

Every time I see you do a 2.7t I get excited that it's an old Audi 2.7t from the b5 s4/c5 a6/allroad, and then I'm still happy because a lot of times these have spectacular failures! Love the work man, keep it up!
-
I can't understand why they put so much resource and design in the casting, overly so IMHO, yet cheaped out on a fibre oil pump belt. But yet another great video, thanks Eric.

I'm a Ford Technician, the 2.7 is pretty reliable
-
Once i saw the valve, i would have stopped there...thanks for continuing on in the name of science!
-
I love when you said "I'm gonna remove this hose the right way" squeezes clamp, SAWZALL
-
Never miss my Saturday teardowns. Cheers Sir
-
You know what would have been a great April fools joke, is to tear down a good well maintained engine😂!! Happy Easter
-
That wear on the chain guide is from the tensioner failing and applying too much pressure, causing excessive heat.
-
It’s amazing how fast you pump out good quality content. When I’m waiting on everyone else to post i always have your videos pop up ad I love watching em.

Thanks for continuing to make such great videos, Eric.
