MOST FAILED ENGINES ever put in production cars | Worst engine blunder!
08 ENGINE DISASTERS in production car history
People often share their positive experiences with reliable cars, but rarely talk about poor decisions. With cars, you often don’t realize it's bad until it's too late. What starts as exciting can quickly turn into a disaster, especially when dealing with significant engine trouble. Here are 8 engines to avoid due to inherent flaws:
01:08 Triumph V8: Triumph, a defunct English automaker, created a flawed V8 for their Stag model. The engine design led to overheating and difficult repairs, resulting in many owners replacing it with alternative engines.
03:12 Cadillac V8-6-4: Cadillac's 1981 V8-6-4 engine aimed to improve fuel efficiency by deactiv...

    The 409 was a grenade motor. It was a strong runner but almost every race there was a problem with the engine rod hammering and and many other things.. the true horsepower was Ford's 390 engine trypower which put out 401 horsepower and it would do it all day long.. towards the end of the 409 GM started to get it right and the engine would last but that was many years later... To the honor goes Ford motor company...😮

    Take it from a 30 year Chrysler Tec. The Chrysler 2.7L and 3.2L were two different designs. The 2.7L duel overhead cam run by timing chains. The 3.2L was a pushrod engine. The 3.2L was only offered for 3 years in the LH cars and was dropped for the larger single overhead cam 3.5L. The 3.2L was also used in minivans and Jeeps for over 20 years. The 3.5L and later 4.0L were a great engines and had very little problems. The down fall of the 2.7L was that owners didn't change the oil. It had a 3k mile oil service interval that was necessary do to the low quality oil used at the time. Anything would sledge up if you are going 10K on an oil change on conventional motor oil. If you kept the oil clean you could get 200K out of one.

      So the 2.7L had little to do with any other Chrysler engine. It was DOHC 4 valves per cylinder with a timing chain driven water pump. The 3.3 & 3.8 were the pushrod engines you speak of. The 3.2 & 3.5 were very similar with a timing belt, SOHC driving 4 valves per cylinder through a complex rocker arm arrangement.

    I've got personal experience, with almost every one of these engines. The Olds diesel, was at it's worst in 1978. They did not have heavier blocks, until 1979. My dad, had a 1978 88. Not only were the engines bad, they put the turbo 200 transmission, designed for the Chevette, in them. I worked as a mechanic, in an Olds dealer in 1980. They had an entore bay, filled with complete diesel engines, for warranty replacements. I had a 2001 Eldorado, with the Northstar. They came with an 8 quart oil pan, because they burned 3 quarts of oil, between oil changes. We were told, if the low oil level light comes on, pull into any GM dealer, and they will fill it for free. Their excuse was they were built loose, to maximize power. Lol. A friend of mine, made a living for a couple years, rebuilding Chrysler V6s. The problem with them, is the water pump is inside the engine. If the water pump failed, the coolant dumped into the oil pan, or, if the timing chain stretched, it jumped teeth, and the valves struck the pistons. He would go to the junkyard, and buy heads. He would disassemble them, and take all the straight valves, to replace bent ones. He coud buy the cars, in good condition, with bad motors, for $300-500, buy parts for $150, and sell the car for $3,000. My brother in law had an F150, with the 5.4, that blew the spark plugs out, from bad threads. The problem is, bad engines don't show up, for a few years. Don't ever buy a new engine design. Another one, is any Ford turbo. They all blow eventually. I made sure to buy my 2024 Ram truck, while the proven Hemi was available. I know those issues. All 2025s have turbo 6s, which are not proven yet, and will probably be as bad, as Ford turbos.

    Yeah, man ! That 409 was the precursor to the 396, 427 and the 454 and that Impala with a 409 was to be feared. The most common of the Impala was small block V-8 powered. That was a decent performance car, but the "fat motor" and it's TONS of torque was pretty bad ass !' Thanks for the memories ! I am getting old enough that my memory needs to be jogged a little, LMAO ! Of all of the 409 Impalas, the 1963 was my favorite...I was lucky enough to have a friend that had one so I got to drive it quite a bit.

      I worked on the Cadillac 8-6-4 and the 3.6 high feature GM engine. There was nothing wrong with the 8-6-4 engine. It was the same engine that Cadillac used for years. The problem lay in the poor electronics and sensors from the late 70's. The 3.6 was junk from the beginning. I can't tell you how many chains and how many cylinder heads I replaced.

      Actually, it’s ‘Posi-Traction,’ short for Positraction-a limited-slip differential system used by General Motors in many of their vehicles. It was designed to provide better traction by ensuring both wheels on an axle receive power, especially in low-traction situations. This is classic automotive tech. It’s all part of the rich history of American muscle cars.
