And the rest of it can be boiled down and made into glue.But at least after it reaches end of life, you will be able stock your freezer.
Hands down the Ford 7.3 gas Godzilla motor. Fresh pushrod design that has been overbuilt and understressed
He can't counter because the truth hurts...Do you have some information to counter the guys video?

Not exactly...Not a “car” engine but I really think that Fords new 7.3 gas engine is going to be around for a while. Seems to be well liked in pickups and medium duty trucks. I foresee a lot of school bus fleets going that direction. Cheaper maintenance, none of the emissions issues of diesel, etc.
He won his case hands down.Musk said he has private equity to take Tesla private when the stock was dropping. He is court for that "misleading of investors" at the moment if I am not mistaken.
I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
“Years ago” Harley-Davidson also warned against use of “synthetic” motor oil in their V-twin engines because it was ”so slick” the crankshaft ball bearings would slide rather than roll. Of course “synthetic” was fine once they had their own.Years ago, there was a thought that higher viscosity oils would result in a roller "skidding" over the camshaft. When we developed roller cam followers for OHC engines, it was immediately clear that they rolled very well with 20W-50, even when cold, but that was not a pushrod engine.
Good one. Test drove a couple and IMO the power was fine - just impossible to find a mid level F150 with a locking RE (then) …Using the above criteria as the predominate points, I'd have to say ...
Ford 3.3L n/a v-6 in the F150. Hands down.
Longevity: This engine is part of the Cyclone engine series; a very robust and long-lived engine with no real issues (other than water pump, which I'll discuss later on). These engines make enough power to be very usable, but not so much as to stress themselves.
Simplicity: It's got DOHC with DAMB, no turbo to leak or have wastegate issues, it's PFI, etc.
Ease of maintenance/access: Because it's in a normal truck chassis, it's longitudanly orientation is the epitome of simple. Nothing complicated on this engine and everything's easy to get at. Further, while the transverse version of this engine has some waterpump issues, the longitudinal system is MUCH simpler to work on, and for some reason seems to have fewer pump issues.
Added bonuses: decent economy; aged enough that problems are pretty much non-existent and parts are readily available; UOAs for this engine series shows very lower wear rates historically
