    Many, many of your pictures are totally out of sync with the story line. Example: you're slamming the Olds 5.7 diesel, yet showing images of a 1972 Old Cutlass predated the diesel engine by what, 10 years? You talk about the 3.7 Chrysler engines issue but show mostly vehicles that did not use this engine, and even one image of an early 1960 426 Hemi engine which doesn't ever use the same paint as the 3.7. You seriously need to match the images to your AI narrative.

    Gotta add the 1971-1975 Chevrolet Vega 2300 aluminum block 4-cylinder: a) Silicon coating on cylinder walls in place of liners. b) Open-deck engine block design. c) Insufficient coolant passages. Many of the engines would overheat, causing the coated cylinder walls to be scored. The engines had an improved head design, water pump, and revised coolant passages by 1976. It was used in GM's "H" Body vehicles, including the Chevrolet Vega, Chevrolet Monza, Pontiac Astre, and Oldsmobile Starfire.

    Agree on the Triumph engine water pump. But like many engineering disasters, people work out how to fix them. Mine has a Ford V6 water pump mounted where the alternator sits, nice and low, the original pump removed and blanked off and an expansion tank up high where they should be, and the alternator repositioned where an AC compressor would fit for US markets. Simple changes that could have saved the engine in early design, but involved politics.

    That Eaton V8-6-4 package that almost ruined Cadillac was originally developed for Ford, and was getting close to production. But Ford pulled out late in the development program because of operational problems that eventually bit Cadillac. I was with Ford Engine Engineering at the time. Eaton had invested a lot of money (theirs and Ford’s) & resources in the program and asked Ford if they could offer the system to other OEMs. Ford said, “Knock yourself out. We aren’t going to put it into production.” The rest is history.

    Ford 5.4: Sludge buildup is caused by lack of maintenance. The real problem was in the radiator. Part of it is the transmission fluid cooler and a compromise between that and the engine portion allows transmission fluid mixing with engine coolant.

The Ford 6.0 Powerstroke diesel. Failed head bolts causing head gasket failure, high pressure oil system failures, early injector failure, FICM failures, ECM failure, VGT turbo failures, up pipe failures, EGR cooler failures, oil cooler failures, failures with the fuel system that allows water to get into the injectors, expensive oil leaks, engine repairs are often done by removing the cab of the truck.

    Perhaps they were too long ago to be remembered, but the Chevrolet Vega aluminum block 4 cylinder engine was pretty bad. They did not sleeve the cylinders with steel sleeves, but instead counted on a silicon impregnation of the aluminum inside the cylinders to make them resist the wear from the pistons and rings. Trouble was that if the engines ever overheated, and sometimes even in regular use, the silicon would migrate out of the cylinder walls leaving them soft enough so that the piston rings soon scored them and the engine was ruined.

    A good number of these bad GM and other engine designs are what happens when car makers are strong armed by the government to design and build something overnight to suit unrealistically rigid "get it built now" mileage and emissions standards. The older Cadillac 472" and 500" (really a 502") were excellent, designed by Cadillac with no outside interference, their only shortcoming was low mpg - also the Oldsmobile GAS V8's were also some of the best ever designed, them and the Cadillacs were very smooth and reliable. Many GM govt. forced engines after this er were hastily/badly designed and built out of forced necessity and many GM engines that came after this era were horrobly unreliable and low powered.

    Probably should do a bit more research so as to get the details correct and clear out the engines that had problems due to engine management systems rather than mechanical issues. Plus, the Northstar had problems because the threads for the head bolts pulled out of the block as do a few other manufacturer's engines. We would probably see less of that if the engines weren't consistently ran at temperatures above 220 F.

    Nice job saying Olds Diesels are loud and then playing an audio clip from a Cutlass with what is clearly a GAS engine. I guess you’ve never been around anything built before, so loud must mean Diesel in your world. Also, learn how to use text to speech software! Listen to the project once finished and go back and modify the spelling to get it to say words correctly. For example, the video says what sounds like “leeman law”. If you spelled it correctly and it still did it, alter the spelling and test. It doesn’t matter how it looks in the text as we don’t see that. I have to do it all the time in my company’s phone system. You should see how bad I have to spell foreign names to get them to sound correct when it says them!

    You forgot the worst engine of all-time model t engine. No oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, and no dip stick. These didn't last 30,000 miles if that. They had babit poured bearings which couldn't be rebuilt. Parts were cheap and plentiful that was the good thing about engines.

    Daily drive a 2001 Ranger with this engine... I just say a prayer each morning while I start it. Then I intently listen to the bag of bolts sounds for any anomaly and go on my way. I sprinkle in liberal amounts of oil changes just in case prayer isn't enough. 23 years later and it's been remarkabyle reliable.

    I still remember all the bad press about Cadillac's 8-6-4 piece of junk. The Ford Triton is indeed a mess in several different ways... Yes, the Vega engine was garbage from the start.... there are plenty more turds out there not mentioned, mostly Ford, GM and Mopar, but VW had some earlier high failure engines too with failing intake manifolds, to water pumps, to timing chain tensioners.

  • @razor1uk610
    @razor1uk6103 күн бұрын

    I would offer the Audi range of V6's & V8's and Jaguar Land Rover V6's and Igneuim engines as expensively good engines, ...that are designed to fail quickly when nearing their next service intervals, and often require engine out to a cess anything more serious than the oil filter. This helps their dealerships stay funded via costly repair times to fix simple things, but that's assuming the owner/user regularly looks after oilchanges and has some mechanical sympathy to notice minor issues before they degrade! and that they allow the engines to warm up correctly before spirited usage.

    Great video! you did a pretty good job, being the fact there is a lemon law, Butt i believe the LEMON LAW fortunately goes FAR DEEPER than engines. BUTT a few ENGINES DO STAND OUT like for instance>>>>> (what i always called the MINITURE camaro/VEGA) aside from the sheet metal on the car frame seperating or bending which contributed to TIRE ALIGNMENT problems Chevrolets' aluminum 4cylinder engine WITH TEFLON cylinder walls WORE OUT approx at the 12,000mile range and had to be quickly REPLACED with CAST IRON 4cylinder i believe with the same 153 cubic inch engine design, ANOTHER ENGINE would have to be the 1955 265 cubic inch engine. was manufacture WITH NO OIL FILTER of coarse the engine would rarely last beyond 12,000miles the following years for chevrolet OH ALL had OIL FILTERS. WE MUST NEVER FORGET the poor oil quality or those days contributed to PREMATURE engine failure. would also contribute to a LONGER LIST of engine lined up for more failures
