This is not your average Saturday night teardown. For this week, we are tearing down the 5.2L V10 from a 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Peformante with only 20,000 miles! This engine allegedly failed at 7,000 RPM and the destruction looks the part! This engine made 630hp and if there’s one thing we’ve learned on this channel, the more powerful engines tend to destroy themselves better!

Every week I post a new teardown video of a blown up or suspected bad engine. Check out a few of my favorites!

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don’t rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do!
As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

00:00 Intro
02:26 Mounting the engine to my engine stand, ITS GONNA BE FINE
04:46 Poppin’ Coils and Zippin’ Plugs. WHY WON’T YOU COME OUT?
06:27 Removing the upper intake plenum
07:57 Looking down the intake ports and OH MY, where did it go?
11:32 Removing the oil filter and inspecting for metal bits
12:34 Unbolting the upper timing covers
14:28 Unbolting the lower timing cover and
16:57 Timing system reveal. What, you thought this would only have one chain?
18:18 Stripping the timing system, and inspecting all components. Looks great!
23:06 Removing the LH valve cover. ITS SO CLEAN!
24:05 Crammin the cam tower bolts loose. These are clearly not TTY
25:20 Inspecting the journals, towers and roller rockers
26:24 Cracking the LH head bolts loose and lifting the head. I figured they’d be tighter
27:18 First look at the pistons and the cylinder head. WE HAVE TROUBLE
28:49 Exotic science
29:11 Removing the right valve cover and cramming the cam tower bolts loose-r
30:47 Inspecting the valvetrain on the RH cylinder head. There are signs of chaos!
32:12 Cracking the right cylinder head bolts loose and lifting the head
32:41 WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT PISTON!
36:39 Some more, exotic, science
39:06 Removing the dry sump oil pump drive
40:28 Starting to remove the bolts for the dry sump pump
44:46 Carefully FORCING the oil pump off of the engine.
46:10 Tearing down the oil and water pump. This is RIDICULOUS!
51:46 Freshly made inspection ports, for your viewing pleasure
52:53 Unbolting the sump plate or whatever this part is called. It’s NOT an oil pan! (it isn’t)
54:25 Prying off the sump plate and hey who put that there?
55:36 First look at the rotating assembly and Its not good, as expected
57:26 Prying the bed plate off of the block and starting to remove the rods and pistons
1:00:23 Modifying things to get the crank to turn over
1:01:07 Turning the crank over to get the final rod and piston out, plucking the crank out and pushing the rods and pistons out of their bores
1:02:35 Complete rotating assembly inspection of destroyed parts, crank, rods, bearings, pistons, rings and block/bores. I think this engine is a future coffee table
1:09:50 Summary
){kind=link}
Loved every bit of it! Nice carnage and keep up the good work. Every Sunday i cast it on my tv screen as relaxation.
Been doing cars for … meh, 25 years – never encountered a broken Lamborghini engine, that said, I have almost never encountered a Lamborghini, either. Anyway. Everything else kinda makes sense in this engine – but puts some things in perspective. You know how long ago they started making pushrod engines in Detroit? None of us were even planned then. And many of them still run. Also, some of the LS engines and even LT engines have been widely known to be some of the most reliable engines ever. I would want to understand Lambo's (well, audi's – is this based on the famous 4.2 V8 from audi?) reasoning for all this complication. Also – one thing I don't understand – the intermediate… lower.. shaft – that looks like a driveline at the bottom of the engine, clearly visible in the flywheel shots. I hope the entire power (600 hp+) didn't go through that. Maybe the front axle only? But isn't Performante RWD only?
I saw destruction similar to that on a lotus esprit . Only cause we could come up with was valve float due to light valve spring pressure.
Somehow I believe you won't be throwing the water pump away.
This truly was a special teardown, and well worth the extra time. An exotic, with beautiful machining, complex engineering, and spectacular carnage – this one had it all, and your usual humorous commentary.
I've scrolled the comments looking for a good explanation for what seems like two independent, catastrophic failures going on at the same time – didn't really see anything. Maybe it saw a LOT more than 7000 rpm? Not sure how that happens; I'd assume the DCT programming would block money shifts. But a serious over-rev might cause valve float on 1, leading to a broken valve and all that carnage, while at the same time a rod failed at the other end – maybe helped by the shock or harmonics from the piston fighting with broken valves at the other end -?
