Vortec 2800 4-Cylinder Total Teardown.

I tore down a running 2800 Vortec 4 cylinder engine to see what was going on inside.

I like the autopsy. Is it worth all that work?

[@Large_Sarge]

I love this kind of content. I have been a fan of I Do Cars on youtube for a few years now. He does mostly blown up engines. Seeing how different engines are assembled is fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more of whatever you decide to do.

I’m really glad I didn’t sell that to someone. I had my suspicions on the condition. It’s actually better than I expected, but still nothing I would have wanted to sell as a “good engine”.

[@Apocalypsekiller115]

The urge to leave this thing disassembled in my garage till parts are missing and i toss the whole thing is very strong.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Very happy to see an upload from you. On the "rebuild"... perhaps that's just what they did... took it apart and rebuilt it... without replacing most of those major wear items... just something that was broken or something. They said it was "rebuilt"... not "refreshed".... lol.

[@AustinCoulson]

I didn't think about that. Perhaps it was "reconditioned" with new seals but not a rebuild.

[@Thehelpfulcontractor]

That was a fun video. 👍🏻

[@schweeb9113]

Not sure if you're familiar with DeBoss Garage channel, but they tore down a 5.0 Ford engine and found the same kind of buildup, not sludge, but almost like a varnish. His engine builder attributed it to synthetic oil, along with short trips. Engine never got a chance to get to full operating temperature, and then shut off. And trying to extend the intervals because they were running synthetic oil.

[@AustinCoulson]

Interesting. I will have to check out that video, mostly to see if the pistons looked similar

[@jamesvanhoose3132]

I would love to see the Continental forklift engine done.

[@levidbateman5174]

Very fun video, I enjoyed that, I think the lifters in the 3.6l that makes my Jeep move are even smaller than those… would be interesting to see other makes of 4 cylinders torn down… see the difference in the older Continental block…

[@DericO-rz3be]

GREAT Breakdown and Review... Vortec 4200 in the future?

[@toddmccarter45]

15:11 another solution is to drill a hole through the bearing and the block into the oil galley pressure feeding the rear bearing surface

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHanks, that was good. The modern designs are interesting but ......I'm more at peace with older engines. Then again,...if a newer design can go 300,000....maybe it is worth it....maybe.

[@fearsence2099]

Would be a cool series - would love to see marine engines! Mercruiser Volvo Penta 5.7 4.3

[@geraldtrice4894]

How about an interference engine where the timing belt broke. Always enjoy your skills and level of detail.

[@AustinCoulson]

That is a great idea. I could even find a 500$ running car in terrible shape and cut the timing belt partially and get the revs really going. That would be fun carnage to show.

[@lukeallen6444]

@AustinCoulson reminds me of locking up engines on trade-ins back in the cash for clunker days.

[@dakotamathews7357]

A 5.0 liter Ford or 3.5 eco boost would be interesting

[@malevopfgm]

Great to see you !, I always enjoy everthing you upload, how's the house doing ?

[@AustinCoulson]

I just finished another pizza truck so now I am in full house mode. Pizza truck video should be up soon

[@Anything587]

Just wondering when is there going to be another episode on the school bus play house?

[@lukeallen6444]

Is this a project build or just scrap?

[@AustinCoulson]

My buddy Gavin @deathtollracing picked it up to use the manual trans and frame on other projects so he didn't need the motor.

[@VinyB57]

I may have an idea for you thumbnail..

[@texgibson6236]

Look like no old change and street racing.

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍

[@barryhorne7052]

Flat head continental tear down please .

[@tzrider....7586]

This engine looks like it spent a whole lot of time idling.... Oh, and in terms of manufacturing, lost foam casting is evil. The fumes of the burning foam is highly polluting and a health hazard for the workers. My understanding is its being used less & less because of that.

[@AustinCoulson]

Thanks for the info on foam casting, I did not know that.

[@p.s.1515]

Sorry but this kind a content is not what I'm expected on this channel. I mean it is quite plain pop.
