About

Welcome to my channel, I Do Cars. Its an answer to the awkward question "So what do you do?". On my channel you'll find videos of the dumb and overzealous car projects I take on personally. You'll also find videos of getting cars running that are either wrecked, or have been sitting for a long time. There will be some how-to repair videos as well because showing people how to fix their vehicle themselves is what I love to do. Of course, you'll find engine teardown videos. Lots, and lots of engine teardown videos. One a week, at least. I own and run an auto salvage operation and part of our model is tearing down bad or core engines and selling the parts. Taking these engines apart is just another day in the office, so I'm happy to bring you along!

Video Description

A year ago, I few down to @RainmanRaysRepairs 's shop and with the help of @BeardedFordTech and @PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod , we set out to test the resilience of Ford's 4.6L 2-Valve Modular V8. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/k8WqXNeDiSw This engine was in a 2006 F150 that had been vandalized by draining the engine oil and significant damage was done. Since this engine was already compromised, we did everything we could to blow this engine up as BADLY as possible. We tried everything short of draining the oil to see just how badly we could damage this engine. This is the teardown of that engine. So how bad did it get?

Check out a few of my favorites! Ford Godzilla Teardown: https://youtu.be/kNUXIzHz3fk F250 6.2L Boss Engine Teardown. MAJOR damage! https://youtu.be/g5oaQ2aO_RM Junk Pentastar Teardown https://youtu.be/IAmkd1U8XoQ Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one! -Eric 00:00 Intro 03:42 Pulling coils and plugs and inspecting.
