I've made almost 200 videos tearing down blown up engines. Here are some of my favorites:
The worst blown up engine, 8L V10 Ram    • 8 LITERS OF DESTRUCTION! Dodge Ram V10 Eng...  
The Second Worst Blown up, Kia V6    • Taking "Blown Up Engine" To A New Level! K...  
Nissan VK56DE Total Neglect    • OIL IS CHEAPER! Nissan Titan 5.6L V8 VK56D...  
Audi S6 V10 Extreme Carnage!    • DEVASTATED Audi S6 5.2L V10 Engine Teardow...  

Today we tear into a very HOT engine. By that I mean, that the demand far exceeds the supply which is why these engines used are $5500-$7000 PLUS core charge, and why the core charge is over $1k! This is an L86 6.2L Gen5 GM V8 from a 2014 Cadillac Escalade. These direct injected, all aluminum V8's pump out a stellar 420HP. You can find these in 2014+ Escalade, Yukon, Silverado, Denali, Sierras, etc. Because of their extremely high core cost, its rare I get one of these in. As well, most of the cores I see on these look like this one, totally pooched! But why are they failing? Why do they fail THIS BAD? What caused this amount of damage? You'll have to watch the video to find out.

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto recycling business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling blown up and core engines to salvage the good, usable parts. We do not rebuild or repair engines, merely supply parts to those who do.

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!
