Taking "Blown Up Engine" To A New Level! Kia Sorento 3.3L GDI V6 In Shambles. I AM IMPRESSED!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Is this the first teardown you've seen? Wondering if I've made a video on a certain engine? There are over 100 teardown videos I've made over the last 2 years on a wide variety of engines and they can be found here: • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
To buy parts or peruse our inventory, visit www.Importapart.com
This might be the roughest, most completely destroyed engine yet! While climbing around in a pile of core engines, I noticed the user-installed inspection ports and knew this one was special.
This is a 3.3L Lambda GDI V6 from a 2016 Kia Sorento. These engines make 290hp and seem to be pretty unreliable just based on the demand in the secondary market. However, I don't think you could blame the manufacturer for this one. WOW, that's all I can say about this.
Why do I do these? I own and run a full service salvage facility in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is dismantling core engines to salvage the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
I hope you enjoyed this teardown. You can expect one of these every Saturday evening, on the dot.
As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!

I think you're right. IIRC, GDI motors run a bit higher compression since they're injecting the gas... I'm guessing powering through little bit of water, sucked a little in the engine, pistons stopped before TDC, and the connecting rods said, "I got further to go." Punches through pistons, or snaps rods. Then it just makes mince meat out of the internals coming down from running speed.

@@99domini99 For some reason I vaguely remember seeing this (from the chunked-out oil pan) in one of those car mechanical fail videos, like _Just Rolled In_ or something similar, and the result of flat-towing the car accidentally in gear. I wish I could remember the episode, but at any rate that's usually how something like this happens. Engines take a lot of work to turn over when they are coming apart and once more than half of the cylinders are defunct, just wont run anymore. However if we add some extra rented cylinders from U-Haul, that will do the trick quite well. Even worse will be the driver being completely oblivious to the cataclysm taking place behind them.

You know that when this engine blew, it was most likely at fairly high RPM and it took a relatively long time to stop turning. And it was incredibly noisy when it failed. All those impact marks inside the block take time to create. Maybe a hundred revolutions of the crankshaft were necessary in order to make that many hits. At least.
@weirdmindofesh
Жыл бұрын
At some point though as the engine is going to bits one of those pieces should have just locked it up. I'm thinking it got spun at high RPM like it was shifted into 1st at speed (downhill for more momentum) and then never let off until the vehicle came to a stop. There isn't a huge amount of oil starvation damage just carnage like it got over revved and self destructed.

Having watched nearly all your teardown videos now, this has to be the top. The shear amount or damage to the block and oil pan is unprecedented. Adding it all up. the fact only one piston/rod assembly barely survived, that most of the rods removed themselves from the crank, and the the wrist pins off the 5 broken rods either were smashed to nothing or left the building entirely? There's no question, this has brought new levels of destruction to the channel. Truely amazing. Thanks again Eric! Edit: forgot about the heads being wrecked too! What a mess!

That is quite the carnage for sure! Was enjoying to watch~ Speaking of Hyundai and Kia, I have a suggestion for a future teardown for the channel: the 1.4L T-GDI Kappa II (G4LD) out of the 2017-20 Elantra Eco. I had one of these fail at 120k in 2018 due to metal flakes in the oil that were discovered at the beginning of a major 30k service. Engine still ran fine at the time! Dealer still warranteed the engine replacement even though I was outside the 100k window, but I never did find out what the cause of the failure was. I also heard the 2011-2016 1.8L (G4NB) Nu engine was another problem child of theirs which could be another good future teardown, but my 2011 I had 371k miles on it with zero issues. Anyways, keep up the hard work and the awesome vids, good buddy~

This engine had a real serious case of disintegrating metal mites on crack! In my career in the mechanical field(automotive/heavy equipment/motorcycle mechanics)of 35+ years, one thing stands out as a determining factor: so many people treat a vehicle like an appliance rather than do normal maintenance to keep their rig running correctly. Sad but true, and you have a lucrative business dealing in these salvaged vehicles & powertrain parts that others have trashed in daily usage. Thanks for a cool video, Eric!

The reason behind there being two head-bolts loose on both sides is actually a manufacturing defect in the block casting where the threads will stretch. Had to do a short block on one recently due to it being bad enough to cause a head gasket leak. Also explains why these engines are so pricey due to that being a common failure. But my god this was something else carnage wise lol

Luckily they had a third party warranty that covered the short block replacement. Unfortunately that’s really the only way to fix the issue because it’s the actual casting of the block that’s weak not the bolts. Kia is well aware of this issue and unfortunately it is pretty common once the car gets close to 100k. And who knows if the new block will have the same issue. As a technician I wouldn’t own a 2011-up. The old ones are rock solid before they went to gdi

Seeing the damage in this work of art, the only way I could see it having this mess is either towing it for a lot of highway miles in gear or somehow getting it to so seriously over-rev (70MPH into first gear?) There is no way someone could get an engine to do this damage by just sheer acceleration or powering through a puddle. This IS the most beautiful piece of art you have shown us so far!

This is definitely #1, the most blown up engine on the channel. I've never seen damage that extensive before.
My bet is that this thing started knocking, and someone just decided to hold the gas pedal to the floor until it blew impressively! Well done!
I am really impressed by that motor it kept on running to the bitter end ! above and beyond bloody awesome .
The piston ring hanging out the oil pan was when I knew we were in for a treat, this is the worst so far IMHO Eric
having watched your whole catalog of videos, this is number 1. Shoutout to the previous owner who probably put a brick on the gas pedal and let the car drive itself drive it into a pond.
This core is the T2000 of engine catastrophes. It. Just. Keeps. Coming. BAAAAAAaacccck! This thing stayed for the extra innings, took a running leap off a cliff, turned around mid-air, and gave a hearty salute as it plunged into the foggy depths. This one narrowly beats the Ford Modular with 4 pistons at TDC.

Everyone Sunday morning now I wake up and immediately look for your video, thank you for taking to time to tear this engine down and all the others for our entertainment. Brilliant and very, very broken.
This one gets my vote for the most destroyed engine so far. I'd agree with Erics diagnosis of hydrolocking - and at considerable engine speed too, perhapa a full throttle attempt at powering through deep water. Very entertaining in Erics inimitable style!
Wow that engine is the definition of “power through it”. The best rod is what a lot of cores worst rods look like.
I know maybe not a super common engine anymore, but some people use them for turbo builds apparently, I was hoping to see a teardown of a 3RZFE, there isn't much out there on those and they're long lasting like the 5VZ you did, but quite different in design. Love all the videos, keep it going!
You know, I'm neither a mechanic nor a car guy. But, I find forensic videos fascinating. While this one was lost on me from an informative standpoint, as an autopsy of a grenaded engine it was wildly entertaining.
200K I gotta see your chain collection, Eric! Edit: I have NEVER EVER seen so much destruction in one single engine! I can only imagine the sounds it made...

There was a Crown Vic V8 which had all its pistons at TDC, this one was similarly broken it seems 🙂
Don’t underestimate the stubby. It can remove headbolts. Not that you should, just that it can.
Looks like you had a fun time pulling this apart.
Love your vids! You should consider opening a museum as an ode to engines that were. Separate them into different galleries by what caused the catastrophe-lack of oil, neglect etc.
I love your genuine reaction when you pull the windage tray. Talk about Carnage this motor epitomized it!
Eric, I know it's going to be a fun video when I can expect you to be finding Piston McNugget's in the last part of the tear down. Thanks for another entertaining evening!
I really enjoy every one of these engine tear downs. I did a number of engine rebuilds “back in the day’, the old school overhead valve, cam in the block cast iron engines of the 60s - 70s. Watching you tear these down shows me how much things have changed since then and how very uncomfortable I would be with these. Please keep doing this to remind me why I no longer work on cars, if someone needs a 1974 slant 6 rebuilt, that’s a possibility but I thank you for showing me what I am missing. But I have to ask you, do any of the engineers or people involved in designing or building the engines you’ve “autopsied” ever contact you? Seems like you could give them some good insight.

That Ford 1.0l, 3 cylinder has to be one of the all time classic POC engines - along with Chrysler’s 2.7 V6 and the 140 Vega engines. All three companies produced - and continue to produce some engines that are real stalwarts among their peers, but these, you look at them and you can only say what were they thinking?
Carnage aside (and it was SPECTACULAR), I was really impressed by the engineering of the parts and engine as a whole. That's what F1 engines looked like inside not so many years ago....
That M12 stubby impact is a great unit! Just got one myself. Way better than the 1/4" impact driver. And a lot shorter as well. Have a great day, Sir! o7

It will be tough to top this one I'm having a idea. Good Find!!!
I loved this one, so much carnage. You always stop at the block, but could you do some head tear down? You could keep a record for most bent valve by angle? Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching it every Sunday (for me).
This is one of those video's where Both the Viewer's and the Uploader probably want to know what the person driving this was doing when it went Boom. This is just impressive as hell that level of destruction is just amazing and I'd love to know the story behind it lol.

The rod that cozied up in the bore like that is just insane
This caught my eye, being the owner of a Sorento with a 3.3. Daggum! That thing was tore up! Couldn’t stop watching. Was laughing right along with you.
Was that pulled behind a motorhome in gear? That's the only way I could see the bearings looking good while everything else is destroyed. And the top end valve train looked good.
This was glorious. Thank you for sharing the carnage.
Best one yet brother. You rock, gonna be hard to top that one, but, I bet you will.. great vid my guys and I just watched, they're in utter amazement. We've seen some grenaded motorcycle/ Atv motors come in. Seen a few with bullet holes from other hunters shooting the quads in the woods for disturbing peace, a few We've repaired and got them running again with minimal parts.

Water not that deep, floor it, it'll float through it!! Love your commentary, my guys give me crap cause they say I sound like I'm shooting a video tearing broken stuff down, occasionally a run of F bombs etc. Love it keep it up.
Wow...that's BAD!!! Probably the worst!! The damage on that was truly amazing to see and I'm happy you got to tear that down and show us how thoroughly destroyed it was. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Eric, you have a channel with very interesting content and you present it in a fun way. I only ask you one thing, please activate the subtitles since I am learning English and that helps me a lot. Thank you for your attention and greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
