A big part of my business is parting out core engines. Well we got something REALLY exciting in. An LS7! The only problem, its locked up. I rarely get a story with engines as to why they are bad. So I decided to make a video of the tear down in real time so you can see what happened, and what parts are salvageable.
If I get some positive feedback on this video I'll do more as we get ~200 core LS architecture engines in a year, as well a 6.1L Hemi, Cummins, mazdaspeed3 and 6, etc.
If you are in the market for Gen3 or Gen4 LS engine parts, we usually have lots of 5.3, 6.0 and 6.2 builder short blocks, 243/799 and 821/823/5364 heads available! Feel free to call us at 314-502-3104 during normal business hours.
Hope you enjoy!

@corvettejohn4507 2 года назад

FWIW, here's my take on what happened: Since I didn't see any anti-freeze color in the milk shake, I'm going to assume the owner was running straight water in it for whatever reason. Winter came, it sat outside and got below freezing, and the water froze. When the water in the water jacket froze, it cracked the block and the sleeve. When it does this, it usually pushes in on the bore making it more oval shaped instead of round. Water ran in through the crack and filled the cylinder. Owner started car and hydro-locked that cylinder which caused the bent rod and the locked up condition.

@derrickwoods2803 Год назад

@jeffreymelcher3740 3 года назад

Some of my best hands on education from senior mechanics in life was tearing down something considered not repairable. Usually the shop boss would put it on a workbench near the end of shift and the apprentices would tear it down a little at a time each day. The shop boss & journeyman would unlock the beer keg cooler and drink a beer together discussing days events when we disassembled something. Like the cracked block in the video, sometimes shop boss would buy parts for a trial repair if we had a use for it. Great video, no music , liked the fast forward through repetition.

@thomasmiddlebrooke1012 3 года назад

Looks like cylinder 7 hydrolocked the piston bending the rod. The crack in the block was likely from an overheat, due to a steam bubble that forms when the coolant is low, which I assume that would be the first thing topped off when the driver sees the temp gauge. If a hot car sits off with the crack in the block enough water will leak into the cylinder so that when the driver goes to start it back up for the next run, cylinder 7 gets the adjustable rod mod. The head may have survived only because the gasket tends to fail first(Ask Cleetus McFarland) which may also explain why the head gaskets were not put back on the previous teardown.

Pretty common stuff. Ls7s are notorious for cracked sleeves specifically number 7. It wasn't a bad head gasket that led to the hydrolock. Sleeved cracked first then filled the cylinder with water then bent the rod which in turn lead to the rods rubbing together. Even that is fairly common where the rods will touch and slowly start to eat away at each other. The ls7 I ran in my z06 had a cracked number 7 sleeve. Had it re sleeved, new bearings and rings. And off I went. Probably wouldn't have used a pry bar on the trigger wheel though 😅

About 15 years ago I paid $500 for a nice blue 1985 F350 crew cab dually with a bad 6.9 Diesel engine. I dismantled the 6.9 and I found the reason for its failure. In one cylinder I looked in seeing no piston but it still had the connecting rod in the cylinder partly bent plus the walls of that cylinder were punched outward on two sides. The aluminum piston was in the oil pan in several dozen pieces. If I recall correctly Napa back then wanted $3,700 for a rebuilt 6.9. I sold parts from the engine, and sold the bed, most of the tires and transmission. I should have said yes when a guy offered me $800 for the rear axle. I moved it to another storage and eventually sold the rolling truck minus bed for $400.

Exactly my thoughts. They blew a head gasket, kept driving it until that cylinder filled up with more water than it could compress then boom. Cracked cylinder and bent rod. Question is how long did it continue to turn over with a bent rod in order to scorch those rod caps like that?? I'd say that block could be re-jugged and fixed.

@@adamcrux6829 it could NOT compress any of the water, liquids don’t compress. Air or any other “gas” is compressible. 😉 Therefore the liquid had nowhere to expand, so it bent the rod and broke the weakest link, in this case the cylinder.

I know nothing of cars/engines, but love these videos. Very informative, well done..

I found this video and thought it would be interesting because I have heard about that specific engine was seizing up with such low milage on it. Well now I have seen and heard what you have said about it. This has been very interesting and I did learn a lot from it. So this is the first video from you that I have ever watched and I really think you did a fantastic job at presenting it. It's too bad that the engine had already been torn down previously which is probably why it was for sale. So you are correct about just selling parts from it. Great work!

This _was_ a win. He got two good heads, a good crank and seven rods and pistons, probably the cam was all right too.

@SpaceCadet4Jesus 3 года назад

You're right, especially when someone else helped loosen the bolts. It wouldn't be so Zen if I busted my knuckles which I'm very inclined to do.

18:00 That cylinder Hydrolocked... Too much water in the cylinder and the rod bent trying to compress it...

@Broadpaw_Fox 3 года назад

I disagree. That crack is too far down in the cylinder to be hydrolock. What it looks like is that someone was running that engine HARD - like boosted hard - and just had a knock situation develop. Enough pressure to twizzler the rod, but not enough to shatter anything (and if it was hydrolocked, that piston would have shattered). That's my $.02, anyway.

@nathan.brazil780 3 года назад

@@Broadpaw_Fox The crack is what caused the hydrolock not because of it... The cylinder cracked and the piston went down to draw in fuel / air and drew in a large amount of water instead (through the crack) then tried to compress it... Damage from forced induction normally causes the top piston ring and piston edge to blow out not crack a cylinder...

@Broadpaw_Fox 3 года назад

@@nathan.brazil780- I see where you're coming from, and I also understand the ring gap issue (splitting the piston crown because you ran out of gap). I guess it's how you look at it - I'm pretty sure that cracked cylinder (liner) was from hard use. Now whether that allowed a hydrolock situation or they just had catastrophic knock that cracked that cylinder and bent the rod at the same time is harder to say for sure. But that's what I'm seeing/feeling out of this. Basically, someone got greedy and ran out of luck/fuel/whatever.
