CRASHED Victory Freedom 106 Ci Polaris Engine & Transmission Teardown. BIG damage from a wreck!

i had a pretty tough time picking out what to tear down this week there are a lot of bad engines here i could have picked one of the many bmw hot v twin turbo v8s that are here i've got four out of the car and one in the car note to self or anybody else don't buy an early n63 just save yourself the hassle i also have a bmw m62 v8 i've got a land rover lr3 v8 i've got a porsche cayenne engine a porsche 928 engine and plenty of five threes i could have torn down those are all pretty cool and we'll get there but i wanted something different you know outside of the box so i i'm a motorcycle engine here and transmission's part of it it's right there let's clutch area i don't know what i'm working on here i mean i do know it's a victory freedom v-twin it's a 106 cubic inch engine and it's a polaris engine i guess this polaris is victory and it's broken it's not blown up i mean there might be some damage inside but it's from a very wrecked motorcycle and it came courtesy of another local yard of route 3 auto salvage thanks mike and i've never worked on a motorcycle engine ever so this will be a first so this is an overhead cam v twin i don't know what degree v it is room temperature all right all jokes aside this makes about 92 horsepower and a little over 100 foot-pounds of torque which is pretty good for this this is very compact but most motorcycle engines are i don't even know where to start but i'll show you the damage the head is broken here and i don't know if there's like a something to mount the engine here or maybe it's just the broken cooling fence because it's air-cooled and it's got a broken crankcase here so not really a repairable thing or something i'd feel comfortable repairing but still plenty of good parts that are apparently really hard to find this engine did spend some time in the outdoors so there's going to be signs of moisture and rust in the engine cylinder walls tops of valves hopefully not in the crankcase but i still have to be extra careful taking this thing apart because a i don't know what i'm doing and b it seems that everything that isn't broken has some sort of value i didn't even see half of the parts listed on ebay apparently they're tough to find regardless i only have one major concern with taking this thing apart and that is that not that is a big knot and i'm worried that i can't get it off don't come on well of course there's one place we start and that is the plugs well the plugs look okay but there's definitely some rust on that one and it's a wet rust what do you call wet rust i think i think it's just water so we're gonna find some rust inside this engine i suppose we'll start here and pull the rear valve cover off yes that's what we're gonna do there we go oh that's kind of neat so this is pretty neat there's your timing chain got your camshaft here and it's interesting as a camshaft for one cylinder so we haven't seen that on the channel except for the dodge ram that made it that way and yeah i don't mean i don't see any damage or anything in here and it doesn't look like any moisture was in this part of the engine onto the front you know what this is taking entirely too long this also looks pretty clean no signs of moisture in there either all right next i'm going to remove i guess this is a crankcase cover or timing cover the timing chain is on this side of the engine the tensioners are here i'm going to take this out because i want to see how this is going to come apart crying out loud the dipstick what the do i just pull on it even a motorcycle engine i don't know what to do can we can we get it off this way ah well it's dry inside the timing cover you can see our trigger wheel here it's got a crank sensor mounted to the actual timing cover we've got two chains they're ganging up on the crankshaft here i'm not quite sure how we're going to turn the crank over i guess by this is that is that safe i might uh yeah we might try that i don't want to break that bolt off nope don't want to go backwards [Music] is that reverse thread kind of feels like it nope all right so this is dangerous oh it's locked tied it in i think yeah so we're not gonna be able to turn the crank over by that i'm glad i didn't go the wrong direction and uh i'm not quite sure what to do next well this chain tensioner is going to be a lot easier than that one i'm going to use a wrench on that this one will be i shouldn't have said anything it's fine don't look now i'm i'm also concerned with the length of this tensioner is we may have to pull this cylinder head maybe we're going to find out aren't we no problem okay so that didn't really do much for me i i see what i think i'm gonna have to do next is remove the bolts from the cam gears i think we're gonna have to uh there's just an eight millimeter here oh i hope i don't drop this one bolt oh that one's gonna be a lot of fun we're getting there come on okay that bolts out and what the does the chain not come off of this cam gear oh yes it does there's the cam gear at least from the rear no yep front cylinder head i don't know what i'm looking at you know what i'm going to do the other one first that's less than ideal thinner wrench this time that still had a little bit of tension on it and i was able to get that out with the bolt in it before we start pulling the heads loose i need to get some of the stuff that's shared between them i guess there's some fuel injection hardware that's the idle air control right here now we have fuel lines how do they come off of the rails ah i see how we can do this somewhat easy so first we'll remove the ignition coil and bracket okay so there's two bolts here that hold the fuel rail down and we're gonna hopefully be able to slide them off at the top of the injectors we've got these clips injectors actually might just come out of the cylinder head that would be nice let's try let's see if all blue will help us here okay apparently the injectors want to stay in the head which is okay we'll just make this side easy i said make this side easy come on wow okay fuel rail's off so there's two different size head bolts here there's the smaller ones that hold the outside here and then there's the four bolts that surround the combustion chamber so i think we're going to start with the small ones first and hopefully i can crack these loose without turning the engine too much now for the bigger bolts and this might be a little challenging we're just going to pretend that didn't happen and i'm going to have to find some other way i guess i could use an impact but man that just doesn't feel right oh we we cracked one loose so uh huh see if pistols just lift right off am i missing something oh i see pull the cam out of the head the valve train and drop it that's fine okay come on and no let's give it a little help all right so here's a head gasket check out that damaged doll that's likely from the accident because that cylinder head has damage in that same area that looks pretty decent not a lot of signs of moisture in here not a lot of carbon that's what the inside of the head looks like this is pretty awesome man if cars are so simple you could just remove a single cylinder's head here's the valve train with the cam in it i am not going to be pulling this apart it's going to stay together just like so now i think we can remove the lower the cylinder bore i think this is called a melon no it's a they're jugs not melons i think they just they just come off right you just give them a little help and they just pop right on off at least i think so yeah that's it at least i think that's it and we're stuck i guess we should probably take this a little further apart all right again we're going to start with the outside bolts first when i say bolt i mean nuts okay nuts okay pull the valve terrain and the cam out now we should be able to lift the head up well some chain in the way here okay there is the rear head oh that let some water in here's the other cylinder head the rear and you can definitely tell this thing sat with the valves open and on its side it's got lots of rust and it'll probably clean up so you can definitely see some rust at the top of the bore here i don't know if we can get this chain out enough to get anything else apart but one thing i did notice is this is uh coming apart here and oh come off of there head gasket is off all right i'm not going to try to remove this jug yet we're going to start pulling the crankcase apart now we're going to try to get this trigger wheel off my feet slowed that crash down so there's a whole bunch of stuff in here we're going to just take all the bolts out see what falls off and there's one chain rail nope we're not throwing that one probably could though so lower now look at that chain it's pretty interesting looking chain the outside links they kind of like encapsulate the cam gears i don't know what the terminology is for this but most chains don't look like that there's another rail looks good nope kidding another one another beautiful chain yeah there we go all the rails are out i'm gonna take a minute clean all the stuff up and flip this thing around now we can take this cover off okay so this is going to puke a bunch of stuff on me or is it even going to come off i don't really want to pry on this i don't know i don't know what i'm doing obviously i am not doing something right i think it has to do with this it's part of the train by the transmission shifts here this is the clutch oh there's stuff in there that's that's reassuring oh there we go that parts wow that's pretty cool so here's your stator i know that much and a little bit so inside your cover here you've got your stator this is like your alternator generator charging device and then here's your clutch and other stuff we're gonna have to get all this apart i guess this is where the shifter moves everything it's right here i can't actuate that by doing anything so i'm not quite sure what the next step is we just start taking things apart yep that's what we're going to do let's zip this little cover off [Applause] this cover is damaged here yeah now we're getting somewhere oh there's a ball bearing a bunch of gears and stuff i guess this is for the starter yeah that's what that's for that's starter right here and when i took that out it just fell apart okay see if we can get this off those are apparently tight it's because i'm using my backup impact today it's not quite as strong there's bolts on the bottom how am i going to get to those this is how okay oh wow starters ruined so the front of that starter housing that's from the impact that's a pretty good hit it's damaging stuff like this now we can get a better look at the damage on the crankcase oh see right through it first thing i'm going to try to do is remove this clutch i have the crappiest snap ring pliers known to man so this might not work too good man these are about as useful as a wet cardboard box all right i think i'm starting to get it here yeah this will get her off then there's a there's a big nut behind there i hope we can get that nut off nope nope shouldn't have said it that way two big nuts to take off in this 15-millimeter bolt we're gonna start here we'll just go across and see what happens oh we're shooting stuff apart oh so that's coming apart we'll look at that in a minute well that's a pretty massive piece i'm not taking this apart sorry guys that's the clutch that hopefully i don't need to pull it for this but i feel like i need a puller for this last stitch effort to get this flywheel off so i don't have the bolt that you use to thread into the center pushes it off the crank i use not all blue here but i used ooh that's hot that's very tapered i use my i'll show you what i used i used this this did a really good job of getting that off and i'm actually going to pull the rest of this apart laying on its side so this should just come right off so this messes with this and as you would expect there is somewhere on this whatever this piece is called i don't know i don't know what i'm looking at oh boy another snap ring and then there's this now this clip i can get that off i have the tools for that just like so this is the starter gear i don't really know how any of this comes apart yep that's just going to stay like that and then this giant snap ring yep that's going to be fun the opposite this time oh we can do this yeah we got this oh no so there's springs that sit in here let's see if we can't get this all right parts are coming out what are they i don't know so there's the wear and as you can see it's like all on the same side of these ramps it could be from normal driving or maybe riding it a little aggressively i don't know spring sit in here i don't know if i was supposed to take that apart but you know what they came apart now i'm just going to start zipping these 10 millimeter headed bolts out and we'll see what happens oh that's funny this impact doesn't have the umph every time i loosen one of these bolts it at me i don't know what that's about [Music] [Music] a lot less bolts on it i think i can get these off i don't see how that's gonna happen i don't think the piston can come all the way out of the board can it and this is obviously not gonna it has to come apart unless it doesn't go far enough to get the wrist pins out i don't i don't know oh here we go look at that nope nope there we go that's pretty awesome what cool parts even if these aren't any good these are cool okay oh that piss is just flopping all wet and noodly-like i just i gotta get i gotta how oh that's neat i think this is just stuck at the bottom of the bore i really don't want to go beating on the piston [Music] i don't know what that was oh it's one of the cooling fins that must have been cracked just going to get that piston down and i don't know if i've moved it i think i moved it oh look at that the crankcase is starting to split that's good i think i don't know if that's working or not usually this would start moving something if it needed to but this is not moving anything i guess i'm going to take the studs out i think that's what i'm going to do now we're going to get the studs out which is just going to take a little bit i'm going to take two of the nuts that held the cylinder heads on and we're going to lock them together as tight as we can and then i put my wrench here and that'll the it'll jam them up on the threads and they should come out pretty easily that's much easier hmm this doesn't want to come out of the of this thing neither does this one this one has a doll stuck on it it must have come in come out or got it looks like it's got damaged in the accident so now i just have these two we'll get these two out and that should give us some more room to work with and we should be able to split this crankcase open all right now we can see what's going on here nope we can't or nope that that that helped us kind of let's see if we can split this crankcase see what happens i don't know that this is going to come apart or not but we're going to try we're going to get whatever this is i'm not quite sure what this does maybe like an ignition module or voltage regulator just making stuff up now that was definitely holding those case halfs together though i don't think this is going to do it but i'm going to take this nut off that does it i'll be shocked that did it no way or it did something do i have to take these off does that hold anything are there any bolts in here i don't really know what else to take out i guess i could take those torx out i just don't think that's it see if this does anything little spring i guess i could have done it if that's it i'm going to laugh i'm probably going to laugh either way ah that was it that's the shifter part of the shipper i guess trying to get you guys a good vantage point oh gears and stuff okay transmission like the actual transmission pull this aside this is pretty cool in here there's an oil pump counterbalance and there's the crankshaft which is uh pretty giant for you know one journal can i just force this chain off maybe yeah that's cool it's just like one like a belt you just roll it on i guess well it's kind of messy in here oh there's a shift fork will this fall over nope okay so i'm not quite sure how all this comes out this is what shifts it this is you rotate this this is what that flower looking gear was on this will probably just come right off and then oh a snap ring nope we're we're probably gonna leave that so that shifter rotates pulls it in one gear and out of another moves these tiny little forks when i say tiny it's you know it's sized correctly i think i'm not quite sure how this is going to come out of here we're just going to see oh it's got that big gear on it so i don't think this is not going to really come off with that big gear and i do not have a socket for that here there is no way i have that so i think this is just going to stay the way it is for today that's still really neat so here is the engine side of this here's that massive crank oh now i can get this apart uh what are they 10 millimeters really long rods this is all pretty big stuff here i don't think oh that might come out that way yeah there we go that's a cool piece let's pull this uh oil pump out of here pickup looks oh there's some rtv in the pickup wasn't a lot let's see will this come apart there's like one tool that i think would be perfect totally unnecessary here's the oil pump it's a little a little chewed up wow it's got like a secondary in it i wonder what that's for sure someone knows i haven't seen that before i think that's it i think this is as far as we're gonna get this one apart that's still pretty cool now rods and pistons there we are okay oh whoa that was almost bad it would have ruined some bad parts i can pull this up slide this over here okay oh we got one rod and piston out completely and one that's stuck in the jug the bearings don't really look bad a little bit of wear but it's really it's really fine this piston and rod looks pretty good there's not a lot of skirt wear i don't see any cracked ring lands the rings look good i don't know if there's worth anything but this one this one is jammed in the bore this is coming out one way or the other and i think i think this is distorted from the accident look at that dowel that goes between the jug and the case half and it's distorted and bent and that takes a lot of force all right we're going to try to pull the rod and piston out of the top i have no idea oh yeah oh boy okay well it's got pretty bad wear wow what is that it's broken this is cracked that is that's pretty insane i didn't think there was going to be any carnage i thought it was just going to be broken on the outside so if you look this side not really a lot of wear it's not terrible there's just some dirt and stuff on here but when you get to the other side that's the front look at the deep grooves that piston's wrecked and the reason for that is look at the bottom of that jug i think that's what it's called i could be totally wrong it's cracked it broke this piece from the accident that must have been a really hard hit and then if you look on the inside you can see a little ridge and that's why the piston would not come out of the bottom of this that's why i had to pull it apart the way it i did some deep grooves there you can see the crack pretty much everywhere on the front side of this here's what the inside of the stripped down crankcase looks like i think it's okay the journal looks nice i don't see any damage obviously stuff like this especially after a massive accident should get checked you have quite a few good pieces though i'll be curious to see how this stuff sells that was an entirely new experience for me i've never done anything like that before it was really cool to see how that was put together and it was incredibly challenging to take apart if i'm being honest i had to look up a lot of things and figure things out but it all came apart well most of the way came apart plus i didn't bank on the fact that their external damage would actually be internal damage i didn't think about one of the cylinders being hit in the accident and cracking the bore damaging a piston that was a nice bonus at the end i know bad parts you should i should be mad but i kind of like seeing the carnage just like you guys do this isn't something i normally run across motorcycles are typically better taken care of than cars because for most it's just a hobby and not a regular mode of transportation and they usually don't get neglected so there may not be an engine on the channel like this in the future ever maybe i can't say never but it's not something i normally run across this channel isn't called i do motorcycles or i do bikes it's i do cars and i guess you can add trucks to the end of that speaking of trucks i know there's no bed don't argue about that i've had a lot of questions on this thing every time it's in the video and i maybe i should do a video on it i don't know would that be boring because there's really nothing to fix on it okay that's that's a lie it's a general motors product regardless there's not much to fix on this truck suv and i'd like to answer some of the questions so you might see a video on this thing i might take it to the track because it's not stock it's not that crazy don't think that but it might get that crazy in the future we'll see i've had this truck for six years and i just drive it anyway i hope you enjoyed this video if you'd like to buy parts off of this engine or any of the other engines i've torn down i'm going to leave our email in the video description and you can always check out importerpart.com it's a little rough around the edges but most of our parts are listed there as always i love all the comments all the feedback and even the criticism i love it all and i'll catch you on the next one
