Teardown GM L92 6.2L Escalade Denali Blown Engine, Worst One Yet!

Teardown video #4 is in the books, whatever that means.
In this video I teardown a core GM 6.2L L92 V8 Engine from a 2007 or 2008 Cadillac Escalade or GMC Yukon Denali. This is a VERY common core engine through our shop and you get to see just what I do when I take these engines apart.
I own and run a full service auto salvage facility called Importapart, and we trend towards the niche markets. Engine parts are a big part of our business. Right now, the easiest method to buy parts from us from these engines is on eBay at this link. www.ebay.com/sch/importapart/m.html?_trksid=p3692
You can also email us at Importapartsales@Gmail.com, or call us during
regular business hours at 314-502-3104
If you haven't seen the other tear down videos, check them out here

Also check out my other videos on my dumb projects like my LS swapped Land Cruiser.
Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

I would find it very tedious (boring) if I was just pulling them down since I'm an electrical fitter/mechanic who has rebuilt them. I've never had to fully rebuild a GEN3-GEN5 Chevrolet V8 engine,all my LS1 has had done to it is I replaced the hydraulic lifters which got mushroomed in the engine block as I needed to use a set of multigrips to pull number 6 exhaust hydraulic lifter out of the engine block. I replaced the timing chain with an upgraded Rollmaster timing chain & sprocket kit to an LS2 type because they have thicker links than the LS1 timing chain ,it was a bit loose & I had to pull the timing cover off to replace the leaky gasket. I've resealed the engine but all of the pistons, rings, bearings & even the valves haven't been touched,the valves didn't leak when I tested them with acetone for leakage,it had done 337,512 kilometres (209,720 miles) back then in 2018. It's coming up to having done 363,000 kilometres (225,558 miles) now & the repairs were done over 2 years ago, the engine hasn't missed a beat in that time !
