I've been tearing down engines on camera for 2 and a half years! Search my channel to see what I've torn down. Here's a few recents:

Today is a little different. Today we get a look inside an LS1 engine that was in hurricane Ian's storm surge in 2022. This 5.7L all aluminum v8 was in a 2002 Camaro Z28 with just 40k miles.
We tear this engine all the way down to see just how bad salt water is on the inside of an engine.
This was one of the toughest LS based teardown I've done, and took about 30% longer/more clips than most of my LS teardowns.
Why do I do this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto salvage business in Saint Louis, Missouri. Part of our model is dismantling core and blown up engines to salvage the good parts for resale. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do. You can expect a new teardown every Saturday evening!
I hope you enjoyed this video as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
