Diagnose & Repair a Cracked Cylinder Head : Cracked Cylinder Diagnosis: Finding the Cracks

[Olddog231]

if you drained the cooling system before opening the engine you wouldnt have that mess

[PASCHDigiMedia]

It aapears to be a late model thinwall casting, judging by the OEM roller stamped steel tappet guide. Don't bother sleeving that block. Either get a Dart block or shop around for an early block part no. C9OE-6015-B(8). The bearing saddles are fully cast (machined surface from the oil pan rail to the registers for the main caps) and there is metal for four bolt mains for caps 2,3 and 4. The only problem is that there is no casting extension for the air pump on the right side, one must be fabbed.

This happened to my E39 BMW M5 3 years ago while doing 140mph. Engine overheated and pissed coolant into the cylinders, nearly wrecked the whole engine.

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

its not clean due to the wrong compression its clean because every time that cylinder fires it make super heated air and the coolant turns to steam thus steam cleaning

[joeymdorsey52185]

@AKIman522 Right on!!! theres no replacement for displacement...

[AKIman522]

@joeymdorsey52185 Not if you want torque, there isn't. Gotta have cubes. Horsepower sells cars, but torque win the races.

[arnoldt14]

I SEE A BIG CRACK the end

[1972FordF150]

@MrButterneo LESSON FOR THE DAY: NEVER BUY A TOYOTA OR A MAZDA

[AKIman522]

@1972FordF150 Right, so don't buy a Ranger, an Escape, or an Edge, because they are a B2500, a Tribute, and a CX-9. :P Ford uses Mazda's cars as their own.

[1972FordF150]

@AKIman522 I think I'll keep to my old Ford's. Not that 1990's crap and newer. The early 80's stuff and older I'll stick with lol

[AKIman522]

@1972FordF150 Well, I'm driving a 91 Chevy truck, and it outlasts just about every make and model of new shit, so I agree. 20 years and no problems except a new alternator deserves applause. I see all kinds of new cars break down every day.

[1972FordF150]

@AKIman522 Those are nice trucks. The 90's Chevy trucks are good. it amazes me how much new stuff breaks down and the old stuff rarely ever breaks down.

[AKIman522]

@1972FordF150 I worked on a 85 ford with a 302 just the other day that had been sitting for 5 years, all i did was put carb cleaner in it, then it gave a huge belch of flame at my face and started. lol

[1972FordF150]

@AKIman522 That's old stuff for ya lol

[theonlyonexxx]

how you ganna fix that crack? weld it? how much it cost?

[Jafromobile]

Um... I dunno if it's just me or something? That's a cracked block, not a cracked cylinder head.

[leaper1950]

@Jafromobile These morons don't know what they are talking

about - fancy posting shit like that on a site like this!

[comelunch103]

MUSCLE CARS=RED NECKS-

RED NECK FOREPLAY:

GEIT IN THE TRUCK BITCH!!!!

JAJAJJAJAAJJAJA

i THINK AMERICANS ARE VERY FUNNY,LIKE MONKEYS...

[TX97SR20DET]

@comelunch103 We think less of your people. Trust me.

[comelunch103]

@TX97SR20DET trust you??

first lean how to express,ignorant farmer,,,

second,fuck your mother red neck!!!!

[TX97SR20DET]

@comelunch103 There's not a farm around here anymore you silly imbred bastard. Fuck my mother? I hate her too after she cheated on my dad 12yrs ago.

[comelunch103]

@TX97SR20DET ,thats explains all ,,youre maybe inbreed,t.v. addict.

you are full of hate ,like 99% of american families,,

and I think about america,cuz is the cancer of this world.

soon it will be diferent,and you will beg to come to south america,junk food addict,

p.s. you dont need a farm ,to act like a red neck,,its in your blood..

[TX97SR20DET]

@comelunch103 Your an ignorant person. Give up on life. Your assuming too many things.

[comelunch103]

@harleysatt123 ,your comment shows your low I.Q.

80 % of the world thinks like you,and thats why we as human race have no future,

all americans shit in their own back yard,thats why youre so hollow as a country.

lets face it;NOBODY LIKES AMERICANS ANYMORE,,OR,YOUR FAT GREASY BELLYS.

YOU AND YOUR MUSCLE CARS BELONG TO A MUSEUM IN A VERY DARK AREA OF HUMAN HISTORY NAMED: ABUSE OF RESOURCES.

RED NECK MUSEUM.

[TheDrakenZ]

@comelunch103 you're not thinking much better with your plain ignorance on the subject of muscle cars. An ottoman cycle engine is only 30 percent efficient regardless of fuel consumption. Immense heat generated from engines show how inefficient they are. People who work on these engines and fine tune by porting and polishing the heads or valves, polishing the intake or the carb venturi. This shit is an art and you're just as ignorant as the rest of us.

[huertaim]

@comelunch103 your just mad your country couldn't develop as fast. the shit is why learn english thats right because america has the greatest impact to the world.

[comelunch103]

fuck you to mother fucker,,,muscle cars are gasburningexpensivefor idiots cars!!!!

japan is leadiring fast clean car tech. for decades,look aoutside on your street..you will see the future,all fords looks like japanese cars,

fuck you red neck,you slimmer fagot.

[HarleySatt123]

@comelunch103 We're all gonna die sometime, why not enjoy it with some hydro-carbons.

[joeaccord23]

so if theres one crack in one cylinder, it affects the others as well....this was interesting video. i luv these auto videos on youtube.

[chase312]

I've been to this shop before. Awesome place!

[comelunch103]

hahahaha shitty american engienniering!!!! viva toyota,ahahhahahaha

[chpjimmy]

@comelunch103 all toyota motors are aluminum. once you over heat one your done. how is that great engineering? its a light pos that cost less to make. And yea toyota engineering great company kill families with the death pedal. yea thats how you win over new customers. my great ass american motor is cast iron. beat the fuck out of it and it still keeps on going. viva toyota?? what a fag

[MRkallek91]

@comelunch103 dude, fuck you.

america is the ultimate home for cars, your pos jap crap is just a copy of everything.

[PadrinosDchicago]

dam i have the same exact problem....is there anyway that the crack be refilled and remachined...i need to know asap so i could take it to get it done or if not so i could throw it out....thanks.

[toiasoia51]

Lowering the head give you more response but the increased pressure always there this will happen soon or later. I don't understand having a car like that takes all your money but drives like cheat that takes about what 6 seconds in the best chance instead of 3 to 4sec.,that you can never be challenged to run and make some cash and make your girl embaraced !! well but I think that is the spirit of the american muscle anyway, on the beach having some beers!!! \\\\nuevo M5 gobierna el mundo!!!

[ford1979truck]

cut the block in half u got a 4 banger LOL JK that motors fucked

[kickfreak23]

does this happend if yu bore out the engine?

[redA4Turbo]

thats a very cool block hahaha

[hubbard771]

@kickfreak23 when you bore a engine It increases compression and lowers tolerance. Normaly I'd say no but it just happened to my 304 one week after.

[jimmy101112000]

Well this calls for cylinder sleeves which might make it stronger or not. But this option will require new rings and pistons.

Or replace the engine block.

.

[Kpeters]

How to diagnose? LOL pulling out the head completely and seeing coolant on the pistons? That's pretty obvious unless your car was COOLANTPOWERED.

[yambo59]

-- Well THERES your problem....... lucky its only bad on the one side......!

[godklr]

Has this engine been machined? to increase capacity. if so, this may have caused the crack.

[ianneiltongson]

your lucky if the cracks are on the cylinder liner only...you can replace engine cylinder liners...dont need to replace the engine itself.

[marek0086]

how do u know its an Aluminum block??

[anguianoerik67]

time for a new motor

[AFish1111]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay sham WOW lol

[xWARBRINGER]

mustang?

guessing a 76-ish, ghia maybe.

lol, my cousin gave me a 350 chevy motor, i got it all stripped down, and a whole side of one of the cylinders was missing =(

it was left in the back of his truck and water got in the cylinders, and in the winter it froze and busted the side of the cylinder. first motor i stripped down of course =)

[mattdaman666]

ouch expensive repair.

[09204418448]

i dare ya to wipe yer eyes with that blue towel

[armiger044]

i wud but i know what that can do so na, ill pass it to the apprentice haha

[CodyTHEsk8er]

CRAP what can it do to your eyes i got a drip or too in my eye what will happen

[dasikotm]

it makes your eyes go fluorescent green and glow in the dark !!!

[chr1s88blue]

haha!

[robby844]

ive taken plenty of engines apart and when i pull the heads on a in frame i always get water/coolant in the pistons/cylinders.

[newcomer9747]

won't the coolent leak thru the ring gap?

[dasikotm]

yes

[fayo16]

well as the saying goes if you cant duck it....

[30GB]

JB Weld will fix that seriously but wont last forever

[louswire]

gonna take a little more than an overbore to fix that... a sleeve might do the trick... but only in a numbers matching resto...otherwise I'd rather replace the block...

[4CEFEDGTP]

Ima lay it on all of you. Dexcool is orange not green or pink, and is primarily GM vehicles. Green is reg old ethelyne glycol and the pink stuff is non toxic winterizing antifreze for boats and rvs. The orange stuff is WAY more corrosive than the green stuff and make sure you use the right kind because when you mix green and orange it clumps up and will block the cooling ports in the block. PS kieran, im am a pro. State certified in michigan.

[kieran109]

stop all thinking your pro's that you no everything you dont thats why your watching him

[Heneryfordrules]

You have it backwards my freind, green ani frezz is made of ethalineglycol, and silica (sand) Texaco makes a Pink anti frezz, that states on it GM Aprroved! GM may have a green tint looking but it is not green." its been banned in 28 nations like R-12 ,ford is blue and toyota is ornge yellow is all Dex a Cool one man has the pat pending, on Dex a Cool,this is why your pulling the head on thes vehicles green anti frezz only last 8 mths, turns to a acid and eats the system fact

[cool12291]

OMFG SHAMWOW it works!!!

[beboybo]

simply pull the bottom hose off the rad to drain the coolant so you dont make a mess on the floor and fill the bores up when ya take the head off

[jayguy173]

yep dexcool is pink reg coolent is green

some cars used orange type but thats rare

[79Datson]

And toyota uses red coolent.

[VayLoc310]

Looks like that engine is gettin' pulled out of the car and is gettin' a slight overbore on the Rottler machine...

[Heneryfordrules]

Dex a cool is pink not green

[Heneryfordrules]

No dex a cool was made by texaco read some books , green is green and its out of date like you

[skum313]

moe the syCo Is ryt!!

[Heneryfordrules]

Be sure not to use Green antifrez when you put it back togeather, Dex a Cool Or Equevlent, no phophates, no silaca, (sand) green anti freez last 6 to 8 mo,

and turns into a acid and eats the system up, unless changed, all new vehicles do not use green anti freez , and some states its outlawed, but u probly know that , nice video tho, I know anti freez is not spelled correctly its just an old habit catching your eye.gave u 5 stars

[1970bosshemi]

uhh

you got that straight backwards my friend

pink stuff is shitty

all GM vehicles come with Dex cool because Dex cool is a GM product

and everyone i know with a GM runs Green coolent

[LiveLeadStore]

Cracked block, not cylinder head.

[japanigro]

big old rusty crack, lol.

[TTJWT300ZX]

Thats a big crack

[ARXHMalakas]

Doug looks stupid, but nice videos

[cdpken]

Ever think of draining the coolant first?!

[darcnitch]

you cant drain coolent out of the motor, there will always be sume in the waterjakets ,,, untill you can physicaly take them off and move them around to run the coolent out

[VayLoc310]

I thought you could when you remove the freeze plugs...

[79Datson]

If the engine has freeze plugs.

[jayguy173]

he gay

[MoeTheSyco]

the thing about expert villege videos is that they cut them in small films that doesn't have a lot amount of info. Plus the thing that is really sucks is that they don't put which part is first so we know which vid is first and which is last.

[7ford7man]

thats a fucked 460

[vadimo]

cool

[LeoBullterrier]

Hi Doug.

[pinochska]

sucks
