The FASTEST Way To Kill A Powerstroke! Engine Autopsy Shows Why You Should NEVER Make This Mistake!

For parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at Sales@importapart.com
FINALLY! An engine so many have asked for me to teardown on the channel. This is the 6.7L Powerstroke turbodiesel out of a 2011 F250 with 160k miles. This was from a truck bought from the Copart salvage auction that was supposed to "run and drive". Clearly, this engine did not do that in any capacity. This is the FIRST 6.7L Powerstroke I've had on the channel.
So today we tear this engine all the way down to find out what happened to it. Why did it need to be replaced? Could the failure have been avoided? What parts survived? Thats the goal of this video.
The 6.7L Powerstroke replaced the very much unloved 6.4L Powerstroke for the 2011 model year, and to this day, is still in production. This produced 400hp and 800lbft of torque in factory trim. These engines seem to have a lot more support and love than the two previous Powerstroke iterations.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto recycler. Part of our model includes dismantling bad and core engines to salvage the good parts for resale while recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, we simply sell parts to those who do.
