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:
Neglected VR30DDTT    • 60K Miles on 1 Oil Change!?! Infiniti...  
Poor Honda S2000 F20C    • Honda S2000 F20C1 Catastrophic Engine...  
The Nissan VQ40DE I saved from the scrap pile    • Found a Nissan VQ40DE In Scrap Pile, ...  
Honda J35 that deleted itself    • Obliterated Honda Accord J35 V6 Teard...  

Today we tear down a highly request Nissan VQ35 from a 2017 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid. The VQ came around in the early 2000's and has been a staple in the Nissan and Infiniti lineup since. This version is a direct injected VQ35HR which in the Q50 is found in the Hybrid models from 2014-2017.
This particular core is blown up BAD, but how did it get so bad? How did the driver not shut it off at the early warning signs? Well the answer may surprise you. We tear this engine all the way down to figure out exactly what went wrong and how it got so bad.

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 buying blown up engines and dismantling to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild or repair engines, we simply supply parts to people who do! I've left links at the top to reach us about parts.

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!
