  • Teardown video #4 is in the books, whatever that means.
    In this video I teardown a core GM 6.2L L92 V8 Engine from a 2007 or 2008 Cadillac Escalade or GMC Yukon Denali. This is a VERY common core engine through our shop and you get to see just what I do when I take these engines apart.
    I own and run a full service auto salvage facility called Importapart, and we trend towards the niche markets. Engine parts are a big part of our business. Right now, the easiest method to buy parts from us from these engines is on eBay at this link. www.ebay.com/sch/importapart/...
    You can also email us at Importapartsales@Gmail.com, or call us during
    regular business hours at 314-502-3104

      I would find it very tedious (boring) if I was just pulling them down since I'm an electrical fitter/mechanic who has rebuilt them.
      I've never had to fully rebuild a GEN3-GEN5 Chevrolet V8 engine,all my LS1 has had done to it is I replaced the hydraulic lifters which got mushroomed in the engine block as I needed to use a set of multigrips to pull number 6 exhaust hydraulic lifter out of the engine block.
      I replaced the timing chain with an upgraded Rollmaster timing chain & sprocket kit to an LS2 type because they have thicker links than the LS1 timing chain ,it was a bit loose & I had to pull the timing cover off to replace the leaky gasket.
      I've resealed the engine but all of the pistons, rings, bearings & even the valves haven't been touched,the valves didn't leak when I tested them with acetone for leakage,it had done 337,512 kilometres (209,720 miles) back then in 2018.
      It's coming up to having done 363,000 kilometres (225,558 miles) now & the repairs were done over 2 years ago, the engine hasn't missed a beat in that time !

    I'm enjoying these videos. Its shocking how modern engines all seem to have a major weakness. Of course poor maintenance would contribute to catastrophic failures however our host often mentions, 'this is common on these engines,' when pointing out a destroyed piston or bearing, so it can't always be ignorant owners. My only suggestion would be to put a theory forward why a particular engine has blown up.

    "No matter what you do, these engines always break exhaust manifold bolts..." That is GM engineering and quality for you.

      The LS is one of the most reliable and best performing engines you could possibly buy. They’re affordable since so many were/are made, and you can make BIG power with only a few bolt ons. Every manufacturer has faults in some way, shape or form. But I generally agree, I’m not buying a new GM product under any circumstances.
