WELL ITS JUNK NOW! Nissan Titan 5.6L V8 GRENADES ITSELF From Neglectful Owner! Full Engine Teardown

[@robertnichols2283]

I’ve been in a car that spontaneously ventilated the combustion chamber (blew a head gasket at 25psi boost, inflated the aluminum radiator like a balloon) and melted a piston (same car, not mine, engine builder scammed a friend) but never a thrown rod. I hope to never experience it in my own car, but experiencing it in someone else’s might be an automotive bucket list experience.

Combustion pressure into the coolant passages are fun, I had to limp a car home 60 interstate miles by stopping every 5-10, grabbing a towel, and burping the radiator.

You are spot on with your guess on why your van burns oil. The VK56 manifolds will crack, causing a rich condition. The rich condition causes the catalyst to fail. When it fails, your engine will eat fragments.

Here is a video idea for you. Something completely different. It would take awhile to shoot but it would be a way to demonstrate this point. Find a vehicle that has easy access to the crank, either by scope or pulling the pan, drive it daily twenty miles one qt down for a week. Pull the pan, document it and then refill it two qts down. Process and repeat. When the engine fails tear it apart and document what the significant actions that took place and how many started when only one qt down. Pull apart different types of transmissions and explain how they work. Pull an rear axle apart. Pull a Trailblazer front diff out! (That might be too epic though.) Compare and contrast engine longevity by displacement and brand. Just some ideas. I loved the BMW fuel pump video you did which got me into this channel. I hadn't touched an engine teardown since 1985 because I just didn't have enough skills and experience tp put them back together. Maybe a motor reassembly video. Pt 1. Engine disassembly Pt 2.

[@jeffmccrea9347]

A quart every thousand miles is a good thing because the catalytic converter needs lubrication too, doesn't it? My first car was a 1968 Chevy Bel Aire bought with 61,000 miles on a 307 engine in 1974. I tinkered with that thing every day to learn about it. Eventually, I bought a Quadrajet carb from a 454 motorhome and the intake and a set of power pack heads from a 1966 283 Corvette. I got everything reworked, jetted down the carb and put it all together at around 70,000 miles. I pounded the piss out that poor thing at the cost of 3 rebuilt Power glides in 40,000 miles but that engine never left me at the side of the road. I always used 4 quarts of 40W Valvoline racing oil, 1 pint Marvel Mystery oil, 1 bottle of STP oil treatment and an STP silver bullet double oil filter every 3,000 miles. Every 3rd oil change, I would pick up 2 oil filters, my usual change, 3 quarts of 49c recycled oil and 2 quarts of 59c transmission fluid. I'd change the filter, put in the shit oil and trans fluid and Idle for 15 minutes then change the oil again. The shit oil, after 15 minutes idling, came out looking black like the 3,000 mile oil. Then I'd change the filter again and put in the good stuff and be on my way. At 95,000 miles, I took off the rocker covers to adjust the valves and the heads were clean as new. My father bought his first new car in 1974. A Pontiac Catalina with a 400 engine. Whenever I did his oil changes, he insisted on Quaker State Delux 10W30 because that was what Pontiac recommended. At 50,000 miles, his rocker covers started leaking a bit so I went to change the gaskets. The carnage I saw shocked me. I literally had to go into the house for a teaspoon and a wire coat hanger. If that engine had never had rocker covers, the heads would have been overflowing sludge. I literally had to spoon the sludge off the heads, pull all 16 pushrods, take the wire coat hanger and rod them out. It was so bad that the rockers were showing serious wear at the points where the pushrods and valves contacted them. From then on, he had me using my oil change formula. I couldn't even imagine what his oil pan looked like.

My theory is that some restriction in the exhaust caused by a partially blocked cat increases blow-by, pushing oil into the PCV system and into the intake to be burned. Some kind of catch can or oil separator that drains back into the sump would probably have helped these engines, if that's the case.

[@truracer20]

On Sunday I replaced the upper radiator hose for my wife's best friend on her 14 Jeep compass, she brought it to me with a coolant loss concern. My first check was oil, 3 quarts low CHECK. After replacing the ridiculously overpriced hose I talked to her about the importance of checking her oil, regularly. She said she assumed that as long as there was oil on the stick it was good. Then she digs out the oil change sticker from her last Walmart oil change 6-10-24 or 165,000 miles. Sure it was only 6-8-24 but it was at 169,000 miles... I didn't see any oil leaks and didn't read codes but I assume it burns all that oil and the MIL is likely on for catalyst efficiency. Poor lady is upside down with this thing and I didn't want to scare her. My parting advice was to check the oil weekly and never let it get below the hash marks.

[@Posichronic]

The stock exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking on these engines, which then screws with the O2 sensors, which screws up the fuel ratio, which then starts eating up the catalysts causing bits of them to get sucked back into the engine. It's a 'when' not 'if' situation with the OEM headers that's why so many run aftermarket headers.

45:38 "What kind of temperature does it take to turn the crankshaft blue?" If I'm interpreting that color and the various iron color temperature charts on google correctly, the approximate temperature needed to produce that coloration is about 600F. Since I also see some gray mixed in with that blue, those regions of the crank would have been pushing close to 800F. Normal operating temperature for an engine is what? 220F? Maybe a little more?

[@georgekeller3721]
