My name is Eric and I own and run a full service niche market salvage operation in Saint Louis, MO. Part of our model is buying blown up and core engines and tearing them down to sell the parts. I rarely get a story with these engines, mileage and history are usually completely unknown.
This engine came in just as you see it, completely dressed. I knew from the beginning this engine had a major issue and was non rebuildable. I had no idea it would be this bad. These are pretty solid engines but people will always find a way to destroy anything. This is an Iron block 58x Gen4 LS architecture engine, LY6 RPO Code. Its a 6.0L, with rectangle port heads. This engine comes in 2007+ GMT900 full size trucks and suvs , Silverado and Sierra 2500HD, 3500HD. Express and savanna 2500 and 3500 as well.
If you'd like to buy parts from this engine or others I've torn down, shoot us an email at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
Hope you enjoyed this teardown and thanks for watching!
-Eric
OH, and the reason this engine has a religious problem is that its got a hole in it, its Holy. Now that I'm a dad I can get away with this type of humor.

    I changed a buddy's 5.9 Magnum engine a few months ago for a broken crank, exact same spot as the 1 you showed but angled outward more. This engine ran even tho it had a nasty sounding knock. Regardless, it cranked up, ran somewhat smoothly & even had normal oil pressure! Had me stumped at first trying to figure out what was going on until the pan was dropped. Amazing given the forces involved that it could still function at all. I'm becoming addicted to your channel. This is the engine version of Precision Transmission. Keep it up 🍻

    I have said it before on almost every video, the Sherlock Holmes as to who the murderer of the engine was, is equally interesting to see each time! If all you did was engine teardowns like this... I would still watch them and be equally entertained, these NEVER gets old, even when you pull apart the LS engine number 5 million, they never die the same way! Or they may have the same reason, but the failures never look alike.

W all the load on the engine and then hydroplane the engine went WAY past its ability to stay together. He even drove it onto the lift. Got the pan down and crank broken in half just like that. Felt bad for him but still cool to see.

    I'm from Sydney, Australia and I blew a highly worked 6 cylinder GM Holden "red motor" in the same way. I was running triple 45mm weber carbs and a huge solid lifter cam in a 186 cube engine. These are a very old motor (based on the side plate Chev inline 6 from the 40s) designed to redline at about 4,000rpm, and have quite poor balance. Well, when I hit the water mine sent the tacho almost back to zero again... for a few moments at least.

    This had to belong to one of the vehicles you see stopped in the center of a flooded intersection where the driver thinks that if they go fast enough they can hydroplane across four feet of water. No sympathy there. Your teaser reminded me of my 1964 Chevy Impala. It had a 327 ci engine with less than 50,000 miles that had just taken me on a 1,300-mile vacation trip across country. I had only been back home a week when at 55 mph there was a loud bang followed by a heavy knocking. I drove it about two blocks to pull off. Since it was dark I left it until morning when I opened the hood to find it had tossed the belts. I disassembled the engine to discover the crank had broken diagonally across the second crank bearing journal which allowed the crank to stay, more or less, in one piece so it ran for its final two blocks. Plenty of clean oil and no mods so I never figured out why.

    The Subaru EA82 also had problems with cracks between the valves. Usually it didn't cause a problem (spreading into runners or coolant passage, compression loss, dropped seats, etc) and repairs either were ineffective or the problem recurred eventually anyway. 3 generations of heads and the problem was never fully resolved so most people just ignore it.
