Check out a few of my favorites!

This engine, with only 71K miles, was replaced with a good used engine, but why? Was it what usually plagues these engines or something else, perhaps an outside failure? That's the point of this video! To find out what happened, why it happened, and what parts survived the failure. Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one! -Eric 00:00 Intro 03:10 Pulling the plugs.
