The LS is easy tho, it breaks off at the o-ring just past the exterior which lets you push the remainder inwards with the right sized drift.
@foxman1052 жыл бұрын
The loose screws on the outside can happen because of the heat. If gasoline burned, it's over 900 celsius fire. At that temperature, alloy looses any heat treatment properties it had. I'm honestly amazed that you got a good looking engine core in the end. I'd be very interested in seeing a shop clean this and build this into a normal engine and see how it fares. Considering it got unevenly heated and then rapidly cooled, there's a good chance it's hiding some interesting internal stresses in that casting. I wonder if with normal operation heat cycles they'll Dissipate or will they end up utimately warping the engine. This is like a science project. I have apsolutely no use for it but I would love to follow the journey of this block, maybe even buy it if I lived in Freedomistan and try to take it for a journey my self. Make a Pontiac Phoenix LS swap to make it appropriate.
@misterdeedeedee2 жыл бұрын
thats what i was thinking, especially considering head bolts are torque to yield. when brought to such a high temperature it basically annealed them, relaxing all of that tension and removing the clamping force they had on the head. and also yes, im sure that block is sure to have some stresses and warping at least on the thinner features like the unsupported portions of the cylinder walls and the rods themselves.

Cooked gaskets can have the same effect. (Basically the gasket material burns away). With high temperatures the bolts can also get longer and lose temper (which is why reusing bolts under these conditions is a particularly bad idea).
@dobbinj2 жыл бұрын
I agree with the thought process, but there isn't that much gasoline at the engine. A little in the fuel lines and what not, but the fuel pump didn't keep running fueling the inferno. Once it get going it was probably mainly a big plastics fire. Still nasty, but I dont think plastic burns as hot as gasoline. I would love to see what the future holds for this block. If it really did get that hot it could develop some interesting inspection ports in the near future! LOL

I went through the teardown history and I don't see a 3rd generation VW EA888 1.8L engine. That's the one I'd really like to see. The 1st gen EA888s were notorious for intake valve buildup and turbo oiling/cooling issues. The 3rd gen has those issues solved and it's got some interesting features like the integral exhaust headers, liquid cooled turbocharger and othersm. Please teardown a 3rd generation 1.8L VW EA888!

Another great teardown! On an LS, the rear rods and mains actually get oil first. The oil flows from the pump straight back to the oil filter, then to the lifter galleries and off the lifter galleries to the rods and mains rear to front. Oiling issues will usually show towards the front of the engine first. Love the see a Ford 6.2L or an Isuzu 4HK1 diesel (NPR/NRR/NQR) teardown.

When my dad was a truck driver, he was in Minnesota in winter. My dad ran his truck all night because being from Florida, he didn't have an engine heater and he knew not to let the engine get cold and freeze. Well the guy next to him didn't listen. But that guy decided to light a trash fire under the engine. He got the engine block good and warmed up alright. He heated the oil pan up so much that the oil pan exploded off the bottom of the engine, caught everything else on fire and torched the front of the cab. It was so cold they couldn't get the water hoses to pump, so they literally got a snow blower and blew snow all over the engine to put the fire out.

12:30 Good example of why I like to run pushrod engines at about 4-5k RPM for 15 seconds or so after doing major work requiring new pushrods and/or rockers once they have had some time to break in. Stops the pushrods from just staying in one spot and scuffing real bad like that. They need the high RPM to ensure they actually rotate around like they should, otherwise it tears up the ball and seat.
