Here's weekly dose of your catastrophic engine forensics! Every week you can find a new teardown of some abused, misused and/or poorly designed engine. Here are some of my favorites:

You guys wore me down. I went out and found a Volvo engine, after YEARS of requests! I know it not a 5 cylinder but that doesn't mean that won't happen in the future. Today we tear down a 2.0L 4B204T11 from a 2015 Volvo XC60. This engine was replaced at just 101,683 miles at a dealership. Today we tear this engine down to figure out why it was condemned, and it what happened.

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling blown and bad engines to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.

I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
