Welcome to the channel where we teardown engines, try to figure out why they failed, and see what can be salvaged. At this point, I have over 80 videos of teardowns with various engines and various failures! Here are a some of my favorites:
Mercedes OM642 Diesel, The MOST disgusting teardown to date:    • Mercedes OM642 3.0L TurboDiesel V6 Te...  
Honda J30 V6. One of the worst bottom ends we've ever seen on the channel, that's NOT what I meant.

Today's subject is a 3.6L direct injected V6 from a Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, or Saturn Outlook. This engine is the predecessor of the 3.6L LFX which is found in the Camaro, CTS, Terrain, G8, Caprice, and LOTS of other GM products.
Unfortunately I have no backstory as this was a customers old engine returned to one of the salvage yards I do business with. As you can quickly see, this engine suffered a violent and catastrophic failure. Could this have been avoided? were there signs and symptoms before the point of no return?

As always, I love all the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
