If this is the very first teardown you've found on this channel, here are some of my favorites:

Today's subject is a very ruined 1.7L SOHC Vtec D17A2 from a 2001-2005 Honda Civic EX. This engine is also found in other Honda and Acura vehicles in other parts of the country.
This particular engine has over 200K miles which is pretty common for this generation. While it did look like this engine was maintained fairly well, something caused a catastrophic failure which led to this engine being on my stand. Lets tear it down to figure out what may have happened here.

Why am I doing this? I own a full service auto salvage yard in the Saint Louis Missouri area called Importapart. Part of our model includes buying core or bad engines and dismantling them to salvage the good parts from while recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.

I hope you enjoyed this video, as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
