1. This engine was a collaberation between Ford, PSA, And JLR back when Ford owned Jaguar Land Rover. This engine was also used in Citroen and Peugeot cars of the same year. I know because I used to work for Citroen, which is now part of Stallantis…. They have a coolant housing in the front of V of the engine and they always fail and leak, because plastic fantastic!!! I noticed that’s missing, They also came in single turbo and twin turbo variants. I have worked on many vehicles with this engine after leaving Citroen. These engines are prone to this failure too 😜 I’m not shocked

2. These JLR engines in F-150s never caught on with consumers. I’ve never seen a single example in the midwestern USA. In general, V6 diesel engines are junk. Ive never seen a successful example. The inline 6 engine from GM is quite reliable and has been very successful.

3. I have what may be a dumb question but i'm going to ask anyway. Is it normal for the banks to have the timing chain on opposite ends?

4. You went back to front. Eric would have a coronary

5. Man, That plastic bolt almost twisted and almost broke. Strange.

6. thats not a ford ……. its a KIA engine

7. 29:16, I wound the video back and you did loosen them

8. Check out LRTime to ghet a full explanation of what and how this happened and how to prevent failures on tghese engines.

9. 39:20 how did the bad cylinder’s wall look?

10. 32:07 really

11. The problem with all diesel engines, as well as engines with direct fuel injection into the cylinders, is that sometimes the injectors jam and spill fuel, which causes a hydraulic shock. But most often, the piston simply burns out in diesel engines.

12. Holy block buster batman

13. The insurance company will want their money back now they know it's been modified.

14. Yay! Another Eric "I do cars" video.😂

15. Ray its your hands you need to look after ,After years of spannering i cant hold my knife or falk ij my hands .Its so humiliarting when you cant uswe your hand anymore .

16. So, I guess the Customer caused this problem by over tuning the engine causing more stress then normal.

17. REMEMBER WHEN A PERSON COULD BUY A QUALITY VEHICAL(AND FOLK WONDER WHY THE CHILDREN STILL LIVE AT HOME)WHAT GREAT VID

18. Thanks Ray, that was fascinating.

19. Also I'm sorry but uh, if this engine was tuned that technically invalidates any warranty that may've been on it, even an aftermarket one. 😡

20. I loved watching this video. Two mechanics goin' at an engine together! 😀

21. Hollow cam shafts with pressed on lobes? What could possibly go wrong there? IMO, that was the source of the failure.

22. Somebody summon @i_do_cars

23. Over tunned engine is probley not guaranteed at all. One of those companies put up quite a bunch of flack for a repo van I bought back in 2001 when the engine expired four days after leaving the lot, after I bought that Insurance, They refuzed to pay for many reasons, I called the INSURANCE COMISSINER in Oregon they made One phone call and the engine insur. called me in about 15 mins after I was on the phone with the Comissiner and they paid for a complete new engine as it had only 2700 miles on it the day I bought it. I will never have extra Ins. again.

24. After market car insurance does not pay the money for the paper it is printed on. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

25. ERIC, AT I DO CARS would be proud.

26. I was wondering could the timing chain have broke first

27. It's hard to justify owning a vehicle motor cost so much to replace

28. Loved this autopsy video collaboration!

29. This was a great video. I have never seen an engine do something like this. Although I do own a Ford Expedition 😂. I know this engine was a diesel and mine is not.

30. Ford bought Jaguar/l.androver/Volvo in 1986 with all their profits from super sales of new redesigned Taurus cars.

31. Eco Diesel is the Mopar V6 3.0 liter. Or does Ford call it the same?

32. I'm a little late watching this, but in the 70's I worked at a John Deere dealer ship and found a 3010 with this kind of failure and was traced to a bad injector that flooded the cylinder and hydro-locked that cylinder and bent the rod that broke the side of wrist pin hole out of the piston. Destruction continued from that point on.

33. Am I the only one thinking modern trucks are getting too-big to have such small engines?😕

34. V6 engines never have as much torque as inline engines, especially a diesel engine.

35. Maybe that's why it blew up no chain

36. So $15,000 is supposed to be a good deal? I hope you guys have a backup career in mind because that's not going to be something I'll be investing my money into after how much these vehicles cost to have this happen more often now is simply unacceptable no matter what!

37. The small diesel engines would be just fine if the EPA would keep their f*ing fingers off them. No US auto maker is making a small diesel, they buy them from other countries and then the EPA modifies them. Then they sell them to uneducated customers. It does look like the owner had fun showing off doing a WOT "rollin' coal" burn out.

38. A over rev failure all day long. Diesels limit the full rpm the engine will achieve you can literally floor the throttle in neutral and if rated rpm is 2100 rpm thats what it will go to and you can hold it all day long. This is because the engine module a generic name some call it a ECM some call it a PCM we will call it a PCM anyways the fuel rate is controlled by this only letting the engine go to the rated rpm. A mechanical failure of the injector is out of the control of the PCM a injector only one that sticks open will flood the cylinder and with EGR will make its way into the rest of the engines cylinders a uncontrolled fueling. I have seen this being a heavy truck mechanic. You will see piston to valve interference causing the press on cam lobes to spin on the shaft. This was a over rev caused by a rouge injector.

39. Let me set the ground rules for the comments I’m about to make. I’m not a mechanic,so cut me some slack if I don’t have the correct understanding or use the right terminology. To my understanding of how some diesel engines work,they have a return from the injectors. Is it possible that (if)this engine has a (return) that the injector for the cylinder that failed somehow failed to allow the excess fuel to flow,resulting in full fuel pressure to be injected into that cylinder? Thus the over spray on the piston . Just a theory / idea / question ? If what I’ve said makes no sense then it simply verify’s that I’m not a mechanic.

40. Watch "LR time " for the trials of owning Landrover with same engines

41. Well ray …that was different love the content

42. Bwaaaahhaaa 😅

43. Terrible engines even in uk they got a bad name

44. There is nothing normal about working on a Ford😮

45. Man I love land rovers. You can drive them around and when needed you put the car in spicy mode and your engine doubles as a claymore mine.
