Silverado 2500HD 6.0 LY6 BAD Engine Teardown. Our LS Builder Inspection Process With A Few Surprises
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2022
- After last weeks N54 Teardown and the 911 video, I needed something I could do quick! I chose a 6.0 we just got in this same day. Its an Iron block, gen4 6.0L LS architecture engine, the LY6. This is a dished piston, non DOD/AFM engine with Variable Valve Timing, and 823 rectangle port heads. Sometimes, we will get a core or bad engine in that has been tampered with. Parts swapped, missing pieces, I've even had them missing rods and pistons! Thankfully the swindley stuff was relatively confined to one particular part here and I still will come out pretty well.
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I don't build or rebuild engines, we simply supply hard parts to those that do!
Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! No really, check out my other videos for the engine you'd like to see! I've made over 70 other teardowns from a Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. You can expect a new teardown every week!
Check them out here • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
For those that read the entire description... there will be a surprise teardown midweek! And no, its not my 996 Engine.
As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
What will I tear apart next week? Just wait and see!

Every episode feels like solving a new murder mystery. 🕵️♀️
I feel the same way, like watching an episode of Murder She Wrote. This guy totally reminds me of Angela Lansbury.
@@srobertweiser 😂
DUDE! Right!?
Very accurate comment. Listing all of the possible offenders during the teardown and then catching the bad guy at the end.
Lets watch a murder movie!
i don’t know why this channel is so damn addictive!
NCIS Car Edition
I assume that there’s something wrong with me because I enjoy seeing ruined engine teardown videos. This guy’s got the medicine
For real! Ive watched every. Single. Teardown. On this video
@@Dave-dh7rt Same. This is the first channel I've watched every video on. Ever.
@@Dave-dh7rt - You've watch every single teardown on this video? All ONE of them, huh?
And what's with the random full stops, "Capitalized" single words, incorrect punctuation and unfinished sentences?
If an LS pushrod and the crank puller rod are interchangable, then we're gonna need a video of the crank puller rod acting as a push rod in an LS.
Here’s one I had never heard of: bought a salvage yard Toyota 3.5 V6 which turned over beautifully by hand at the yard. Brought it home, replaced all the usual parts to freshen it up, figured I had better just make sure it still turns over before installation. Much to my alarm, it locked up hard in each direction after about 270 degrees of rotation. Pulled the heads and found one cylinder with a bit more carbon than the others. The process of using air tools during assembly vibrated loose the carbon, which then collected on one edge of the piston and prevented it from going up to tdc. Cleaned it up, closed it up and it’s still going strong 10 yrs later.
I felt my heart drop when you said it locked up in both directions. I probably wouldve started panicking "wtf is going on here" after spending all that money. At least you managed to find the problem and sort it!
Toyota..............hard to kill
It’s a Toyota, brilliant machines
I had a Kawasaki V twin lawnmower engine do the same thing. Still runs.
Assembled with air tools?
“Always start in the front”
You know that means you finish in the back!
All nice boiz know that ;-)
We had that exact engine in our delivery vehicle. Over 300k miles before totaled. 5k syn blend oil changes. New plugs and trans service twice. Great engine!
They're gas guzzling work horses a very great engine imo
Good maintenance make good engines.🙏🙏👍💪
The problem is the 6L80 and 6L90 transmissions. They are notorious for overheating. The torque converter is absolutely junk from the factory OEM. Billet cover and piston is a must. Also the thermostat in the transmission needs to be changed from the factory 200 degree one to a 140 degree. It costs about $900 for a good torque converter for those transmissions and about another $700 to have it installed. If you have over 60k miles on the transmission already, it's probably too late. To bad the torque converters were junk from the factory.
You know your a real gear head when you find it soothing to watch an engine tear down, and you kind of know the outcome.
Can we just stop and take a minute to marvel at the fact that all the plug wires came off without ripping the wire out of the boot…luck that I never have on these motors!
Idk why, but he seems to have the best sense of humor when tearing down LS engines.
One of my favorite channels on UA-cam because you get right to the good stuff! Keep the killer content rolling boss🤙🏼
I'm sus as well
Woooo new tear down best time of the night
Been waiting all day for this I got off work at 3:30 and I’ve been sitting here just waiting,
Because of Eric I sure do enjoy my Saturday evenings
420 bruh
One thing that I appreciate is no matter how busted an engine is you take it apart properly, it provides a great learning experience
the standing sitting water bit got me, almost spit out my coffee lol
I greatly appreciate your honesty. I have worked in the Automotive Industry for over 35 years and from past experience, there are so many dishonest Technicians in today's world they give honest Tech's a bad name. I'm an Eagle Scout and, like yourself I can't look someone in the eye without knowing for sure. your honesty will make you successful.!👍
"malice in the combustion Palace" hahahaha awesome sir!!!
That's what she said.
That one got me too. Thought I had heard all the good ones. Gonna have to use that at work and crack up the other guys…🤣
One of the best foundations for making big power, for low dollar.
i just got a gen 3 5.3 froma silverado for free, it didnt spin all the way, but after disassembly i learned it was simple, one of the cylinder walls had some surface rust, so i got that cleared out and got the engine honed and now shes smooth
Since watching this channel I start all of my problem solving with “let’s pull the spark plugs.” So far nothing has had spark plugs to pull but some day!
Wow, a good Iron 6.0 short block. Pay the man and haul it off for scrub, cam,rod & crank brngs. Add fresh wide gap rings for 10-20 psi boost or bottle. Keep it under 6K rpm for you daily's 600+ HP fun runs.
"Malice in the combustion palace" That's why I watch this channel!
SATURDAY NIGHT TEARDOWN!!!! LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!
There's always something new to learn. Whether it's the mystery of how this engine died, how to check if the engine is good enough to sell whole, or can my front end loader get this crankshaft to turn over, it's fascinating to watch you work. The jokes are good, too! Using Toyota bolts to increase reliability in a German engine. That's just priceless.
Imagine what a Toyota logo might do!
A pushrod went in, and a pretzel came out. That's a cool trick!
I like how you speak using proper grammar and there's no funky music or preamble. The info you provide is pretty cool. And holy hell those plugs are gapped to like 1/16 inch
I'm not sure what is so satisfying about watching you tear down engines, but I love this channel!
I have a hard time explaining why I'm often late to gatherings after you post a video because I'm the lone gearhead in my bunch of friends/family, but it's worth it... somehow.
"... but c'mon, he was tearing down an iffy iron LS 6.0L! I gotta know why it's there...!"
Cheers brother!
I always enjoy, “this is in perfect shape” - clang!
Thank you for not using profanity. I admire how you walk up to an engine and have complete access to everything. Very fun to watch!
I'd prefer more profanity! Because I'm an adult and I don't get upset about other adults using words I don't like....and it's morefun.
@@breadlowry so when my wife and three older girls are in the room, what's the proper solution?
@@candesearl headphones are still a thing.
@@candesearl your wife and three "older" daughters are incapable of hearing profanity? Is your wife a child bride and your daughters toddlers?
... you wouldn't like my parts store...😉
Profanity is welcomed, because vehicles are frustrating to no end.
Amazing the simplicity of pushrod motors vs overhead cammers.
now gm pushrods are shit with displacement on demand hehehehe
Keep the tear downs coming! Watch em every week!
Thanks for presenting another interesting teardown video, very enjoyable as always, thankyou!
Glad to see someone not afraid of harbor freight tools
Very good video. For me, it is, and always has been, time well spent watching your work. There's always something to learn, and your presentation is always right on point! Thanks!!
Thank you! Another great Saturday night video.
I never do this. But I have watched 2 of your videos and subbed. Your knowledge about each different engine is paramount. Keep delivering great content.
Your statements at the end regarding time really showcase your integrity. Very hard to find business owners who understand that. You’ll continue to be very successful if you keep that attitude.
Thank you for the video, Eric!
I really enjoy watching you solve the mystery of the failure
I have 0 knowledge about engines, but for some reason it's very calming to watch this. :D
I really enjoy the methodical process. It's curiously relaxing.
Thanks for the Saturday Night Movie! As always great job and keep it up!
I really like your videos. I have learned so much from watching you work.. These videos gave me the courage to replace my cam bearings. Thank you ...
Man I love this channel. You rock. Can't tell you how many videos I've watched.
Best part is the videos never get boring or old idk how.
Keep it up!
I properly sniggered with the pushrod art you created. Thanks, needed that!
great video-cut, great build insight.
You are a weekend staple here !!! Thanks for the great vids
I appreciate your honesty…lost on this world …you represent what you sale with a clear conscience…that’s awesome
Been watching these tear downs for a while now, and just realized you’re in the stl. I’ll keep you in mind next time I need some nice used goodies!
My favorite part of Saturday is here
Just found your videos, on the 4 L V6, and 8L Ram V10, amazing. Searched your videos and found the one for a 6.0 I have in my 2008 Suburban. Loved the tear down to see internal guts. Taking care of mine to last a long time. Videos are awesome. Thanks.
I love these tear downs man
I have so much mad respect for your integrity, Eric. I definitely know who I should email first if I need replacement OEM parts for any engines I need to crack into, myself, or if I want to get my paws on a block to work on. :)
"Now we are going to remove the dipstick" no need I'll see myself out.
Ugh, why did I have to say that.
Let me get your coat for you...😁
@@OgamiItto70 dipsticks come precoated
Pretty sure that's what was in my favorite work truck I ever had... 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4.... It was over 350k miles when the transfer case blew up for the 2nd time, and they junked it... engine still ran fine though... Great job on this one.
Very different... I saw your Porsche video first. I really enjoyed learning about what you look for in a used motor.
Hey Eric. Still looking forward to a 6 liter powerstroke tear down whenever you’re able to get your hands on one. 😉 keep killing it
Dude! So cool finding the EXACT person that used the motor and put ALL of those miles on it.
I appreciate the entire video but what stands out above it all is the humor.
how many people LOVE their job, you are one of a kind, I loved both of my jobs but they were hard on my health
Great videos Eric, love the attention to detail. Would like to see some more modern Mazda engines. Personally have a 2.3 mzr that's enjoying sucking the life out of my wallet. Keep up the great work!
I really enjoy watching your videos. They are educational.
I realize you tear down "interesting" engines you get, but I'd love to see a few Mopars if possible.
That does make sense the head was swapped that explains the 2 different sets of spark plugs I’ve seen that before
Another good video dude, keep em coming.
Great stuff, thought I saw an S85 in your shop a while back, would like to see a tear down of one sometime!!
When you said you were going to remove the dipstick, I thought you were leaving the show. Just kidding...always enjoy your videos and comments as you're working.
I enjoy watching you tear these engines down son I really the more Carnage the better
I would go so far as to call shenanigans. This channel is interesting, humourous and oddly hypnotic.
It wouldn’t be a Sunday morning without an engine teardown.
So then, what IS your favorite engine? Either to drive or work on, or disassemble. Pick a category. Given how many engines you've put your hands on, would be interesting to know. Top 5 is probably easier to do.
Yes!
Love 4 cyclinders.
My favorite to work on is the go devil engine used on military jeeps.
Iron Duke is my second favorite, once all the bugs are worked out you can get great mileage.
Third is the hurricane, though it eats gas and has less gas mileage than the go devil.
Fourth is Indian four from the late 30's, makes a great motorcycle.
Five/ super duty 4 just a neat engine.
@@Tee008 you are giving away your age.🙏🙏👍💪
@@craigwhittingslow9689 if early 30s is considered old then sure I'm down for that.
I really like the way you talk to your tools and parts. Very much like me.
Didn't look like the water was standing OR sitting. I thought it was just laying there.
Love your channel sir! Every video is so addictive… I got a huge addiction for how things work and I’m still heavily addicted to the “how it’s made” genre of videos and your channel is a natural continuum for that!!!
I know is a tall order but any chance of tearing down some v12s or w12s or exotic car engines in general?
Awesome, thanks again!
Congrats on the motor teardown
Man this is like my weekly fix. I can't wait until Saturday night Sunday morning to watch an engine being torn down :) learned a ton watching these videos... I am like UT oh probably piston mcnuggets lol
I also need my engine tear down “ fix”.
It doesn't matter how many parts are in the engine. As long as you have technical manuals available and a methodical approach they can all be successfully torn down and rebuilt properly. I play around with the twin cam Porsche 928 engines which a lot of people seem to shy away from. It's no different to rebuilding a lawnmower engine as long as you follow the correct processes and refer to manuals when you don't understand something. I really enjoy your videos 👍
Dude you pulled the plugs back to front. You never go back to front. 😂
There are... complications. 😂
I have been binge watching older episodes while I am on the couch with coof. One thing I would like to see is you do a Miata engine teardown, with a retired Mazda Master Mechanic sitting on a chair giving you tips.
Your comment is 100% spot on . We all get nerves sometimes when we start taking something apart for the first time.
Very cool. Please use CC for those of us who are hard of hearing. Thanks!
UA-cam does it automatically. Just click the CC button.
It would be neat if you could lay hands on something OLD. Like pre war old so people can see how much differently engines were designed in ye olden days
I would also like to see that but I wouldn't imagine he'd make much money off something like that but maybe he can do it for a "xxx subscriber special" or something.
Only difference really is side valves and non crossflow heads
@@alexstromberg7696 there's many many more details that are different. From poured babbitt bearings, rope seals ect
watched a vid on a side valve ford..you can keep them..
Love these engine autopsies. This Shade tree mechanic never gets that deep into a car.
Another great video!
I like the engine stand specific drain pan
My son works for a fairly large construction company, and have many trucks with the same engines. They don't hesitate to cannibalize a old truck that's running to fix a newer one. A matter of seniority! When I was in the Army in southeast Asia, we did the same thing, because some trucks were physically better than others.
I enjoy your videos, thank you
I await the day I see you take apart a supercharged 3800! I love em, maybe I don't wanna see one blown up...
Another great video.
yep, I thought the same thing first time I laid eyes on this Northstar in my aurora , Now that I have it out of the car , its really not that bad.
An algorithm boosting comment for your channel.
I always use a long socket extension. I’ve never thought of using pushrods.
This is like Forensic Files for engines. I am addicted.
Ohhh how satisfying those spark plug wires pops are.. cause its a damn nightmare when they dont.
malice in the combustion palace. That's a new one for me, I'm stealing it!
Hey a sellable LS 6.0 is worth something, and I agree with you to check all the mains... You just never know... At least you have a buildable LS to sell... As always Great video... And like always I'll keep watching
I've got an e46 coupe that I've got plans on building into an LS powered M3-GTR lookalike (as best as I can manage, anyhow). I can't exactly say when that will happen, as I'm a bit behind on bills as I do my best to finish up recovering from a motorcycle accident at the end of May. While I may not know exactly when I'll pull the trigger on buying the LS that will be the basis for that little monster, I *do* know that I'll be buying it from you. I've seen enough of your videos to know that you care about your business and your customers enough to make sure that you're not selling anybody a load of hot garbage, and as an honest mechanic, I appreciate that about you. It won't be today. It won't be tomorrow...but soon enough the day will come that I hit you up and we'll do some business.
...and brother, I don't mind telling you that I'm looking forward to it.
That really high OHHHHH When you pulled the second head, because the video was still at 2x, had us rolling this morning 😂
My favourite saying from this channel is "malice in the combustion palace"... It just rolls off the tongue like a pound of mature Rincewind...
Are you the exception! Are there other yards that are run by someone as honorable as you? I hope so. Great video and I love your ethics.
Love this channel
“Bump stick” is the phrase we use for camshafts. And you bumped it from the back 😆
