My name is Eric and I own and run a full service niche market salvage operation in Saint Louis, MO. Part of our model is buying blown up and core engines and tearing them down to sell the parts. I rarely get a story with these engines, mileage and history are usually completely unknown.
This particular core is a 2012 Mustang GT 5.0L Coyote V8. This is the very first of its kind in our shop. This teardown went pretty smoothly, this is actually a VERY easy engine to work on. This engine is found in 2011-2014 Mustang GT, and its variant in the 2011-2014 Ford F150.
If you'd like to buy parts from this engine or others I've torn down, shoot us an email at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
Hope you enjoyed this teardown and thanks for watching!

The most common cause of Ford V8 failures is the loose nut behind the wheel.
And a lead foot.
It’s the ford logo in the front
They circle the problem on the front for ya.
@@ernestjohnson1807 Haha, so original!
@@ernestjohnson1807Damn you Ernie, my Raptor is grumbling at you.
Granny only drove it to church on Sundays. Of course she raced it the rest of the week. 😂
If she was anything like my gandpa then yes! Race duty, church duty and normal city duties like going to the grocery store and forgetting to turn the tune down before grandma had to go get said groceries!
I think the church was 1/4 mile away from home....
She raced and never changed the oil…
The church was only a 1/4 mile away.
Never lie to your mechanic or doctor they will eventually figure out the truth.
I have a 2011 Ford F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 138,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast.
They're good engines, but like anything else, preventative maintenance is everything. I do synthetic oil changes every 5000 on my 5.0 F150 and I always use Motorcraft oil filters. Neglect or abuse any engine and eventually it's gonna fail. People skip their oil changes and use garbage parts then can't understand why shit goes wrong.
@@Sagittarius-88 I use synthetic oil for my F150 as well.
Never seen a Coyote Engine torn down before. Looks like a nice, well built engine. And thats coming from a LS guy. Thanks for sharing the engine tear down.
yes it does....coming from a old ford guy and a guy that has scene alot of chevys--and they are pretty tough.
the coyote got good parts
Yeah I was surprised at how simple it actually was for what it is.
Failure analysis is a compelling thing for automotive folks. Years ago I ran a national trade assn. for maintenance management professionals. At our trade shows, the parts failure analysis presentations were always the star of the show. Add to that a guy with a pleasant personality and competent knowledge, this channel is destined for a million subs at some point.
This great man and his great TH-cam channel is/are destined for the YT Stars! Fred
"Maintenance managers" encounter a lot of "catastrophic failure", do they?
I agree.
Agreed and on point.
New rocket ships are awesome, in e'ry way. But fancy parts do make for fancy repair bills
I’m thinking this engine lived a ¼ mile at a time.
With Nos😃
And in those 10 seconds or less, it became free (of this mortal coil).
More like it was someone who thought they were into cars and bought the status symbol. And then didn't know how to take care of it. They probably went to the discount tire store and bought the cheapest offered for the vehicle as well.
The whole vehicle will be in salvage sooner rather than later, and the owner will think the vehicle was all hype, never realizing they were the problem.
Good eye. It looks like the wrist pin ripped the piston bore out when the driver lifted at the end of the 1/4 mile. appliedspeed.com
@@dalestephan6777 absolutely, and a lean fuel ratio.
One of the best engines out there. Love my 5.0
Apparently the guy that owned this coyote didn’t love his enough.
same here
I really like watching these videos and I appreciate the lack of music. Air tools and electric wrenches make their own kind of music. What amazes me most about these engines is the basic designs remains the same with a lot of add ons.
Truly all round good engines tend to be like that.
"Something regapped this spark plug for us" hahaha
It's a Ford... surprised the spark plugs came out...
@@BuzzLOLOL usually they shoot out😂
@@geronebner9535 Only really on the 4 thread motors, but yes that was a problem for awhile. Other end of the spectrum was never getting them out in one piece...Best thing you could do on the 5.4 was buy it,, get home, let it cool for 8 hours and pull the plugs, lather on some quality anti sieze and put back in.... for 75,000 miles.Never could see them going the 100,000 they said they'd go.
"Mechanicly regapped" is certainly a phrase that has entered my lexicon.
Your teardowns are becoming my favorite thing on youtube! You can film all of the engines you get in regardless of how many you've already done and I will watch every single one of them.
Precision transmission has torn apart 100+ 4l60e's on his channel and it never gets old.
Yeah, precision transmission is interesting, but he shows way less about assembly, That’s what I want to see.
Of course it never gets old, it is the mystery and finding out what has happened that is interesting.
Think of it as an automotice Sherlock Holmes, who murdered this engine or transmission!
Me too. I love it when a “professional shop” rebuilds a trans, then he has to fix it with 5 miles on the rebuild.
Precision transmission is awesome. That guy is a national treasure
@@CMDRSweeper "Who the hell would watch someone tear down an engine?"
Two hours later . . . "Huh. I wonder if this one is going to turn over."
Would’ve loved to have seen the fram filter cut apart to see if it went into bypass and did filter anything.
It's a Fram so it's probably the reason the engine failed in the first place
With fram, failure is not an option, it's a guarantee.
@@DJ-sr9yq
Sad part is Fram used to be good stuff 30-40yrs ago. IMO WIX is the best aftermarket filters now. Purolator is good too.
Incredibly knowledgeable without being cocky is a rare and refreshing combo. Great channel and work as always Sir!
There are several channels with knowledgeable and humble guys tearing things apart. Some of them put things together too! precisiontransmission, vicegripgarage, ...

I was going to throw away all my 9mm sockets, but now i have a reason to keep them.
Apparently a Prius 3cyl has 9mm 12 point head bolts
Everytime I get rid of a tool I am not using I suddendly out of nowhere need it for a job!
Back glass surround on early 2000's ford trucks....9m.m.
Finding a 9 mm bolt is like finding a unicorn
@@fastyzzzff 3/8 works if your lucky lol
i've never tore down an engine before but these videos are badass. it's kinda like solving a mystery as to why the engine stopped working. i'm hooked
Dude if you can go get a cheap harbor freight engine and tear it down and rebuilt with aftermarket parts hahahah make a race engine
You can do it yourself, but start small. Look for people throwing out weed whackers or lawn mowers and have fun.
Me too.
I did pro lawn equipment my employees fucked up to total distruction.. I have a very old echo blower ... 20 years old .. still my favorite as far as power to weight.. a fat new guy put regular gas in it and ignored the heat and noise and motor slowing down till he locked it up .. I was devistated .. I took it all the way down and got the rings unstuck .. there was scoring on the cylinder wall but I figured what the heck .. let's see if I can't put it back together just to find out .. It's back together and still running like a top .. I was stunned ... I do all my small moter stuff now and it's normal to see the kind of scoring the coyote had .. For some reason these just keep going strong .. the scoring doesn't seem to impede the motor at all .. to this day I've lost a lot of motors but gotten them all back just by a quick teardown and look see.. I have put new parts in some that were really bad but their all still chugging ..
I got to be the dumping ground for all the large companies here just to find out free of charge what lead to the destruction so they could manage their employees accordingly .. I've only lost one kholer motor on an xmark but it came it with inspection holes in the block .. Employee fail and fire situation .. If they don't own it they will knowingly run it into the ground simply just so they don't have to go to the truck and get it's back up unit .. Thousands lost simply bc an asshole didn't want to have to walk 5 Xtra min ..
Yes this is the world we live in .. And no , there's nothing we can do to fix it.. We are all doomed in a few generations
Good teardown. I have a 2014 F-150 with the 5.0L. You hit it on the head. Oil starvation. Being a retired auto tech with 40 years busting my knuckles, it's all about maintenance which includes changing out ALL fluids with manufacture spec fluids. I always told my customers that I can do everything you need done but you have to bring your vehicle in for service. Most of them trusted my advice. Although the synthetic blend oils say you can go 5000 miles on an oil change, I'm old school and go 3000 on oil and filter and 30,000 miles on a trans service.
It would have been really really interesting to see what the inside of the Fram filter looked like!
I too almost fell out of my chair when you found a use for a 9mm socket! Anyway great video, these teardowns are some of my new favorites to watch.
A 9mm works when rust/corrosion takes its toll on 10mm bolt heads
Crazy seeing my fav retro tech guy comment on my fav engine tear down guy's channel :-D
Hi, Adrian!
@@tstahlfsu Same here. Finding a comment from Adrian of ADB & ADB ][ is unusual, to say the least! Fred
I worked in a bike shop, as in bicycle, for about 8 years and just about everything was 9mm. Maybe they're made just for us.
Looks like everything in the ACME warehouse attacked, landed on and blew up on the Coyote while he was wearing that dreadful green "ACME Bat Man's Outfit" xD
Whenever I get channels like this randomly in my "suggested", it usually means you've hit the algorithm. I would expect significant channel growth in the future if you're not seeing it already
Such an amazing engine, it's much smaller in displacement than the Chevy and Dodge offerings but it produces similar power.
This went from a salvage operation to a postmortem very quickly. At least you got a cool new Ford branded boat anchor.
Plus he has yet another "trophy" for his Front Counter! Fred
I'm sure his metal buyer is happy!
1:59 There's your problem right there. The loop on the dip stick broke off and the owner just said, "fuck it".
I love these videos! You're a natural at presenting and should have 10x the amount of subscribers. Keep up the good work!
One thing I've definitely learned from this channel is that modern engines are mind-bogglingly complex.
Your fastforwarded impact hammer footage sounded like sci-fi lasers going off everywhere. :D
Fun teardown! That thing got rekt hard.
FRAM Bomb Detonation! I had a friend in high school who bought a '67 mustang with a 351 swap that had a FRAM on it. He complained to me about an idle tick and low oil PSI; I said 'change the oil put a Motorcraft or Wix or Purolator filter on it'. We did that, oil PSI went from 4-6 at idle to 30+ and the tick disappeared.
This is why you never use FRAM. I don't think the oil level was low in this engine, I think the oil PRESSURE was low due to that oil filter.
FRAM Ultra’s are great filters. Motorcraft and Purolator’s fail quite often as seen on BITOG.
@Derek Young It’s looking like some spin-on Wix part numbers have become repainted Purolator’s. Just Mann & Hummel trying to squeeze as much money out as they can.
I'm so glad I found this channel I've watched every engine teardown. You make a 30min video feel like 5 minutes I could watch these all day
Great series of engine teardowns, we get to see engines torn down that most of us would only see pictures of in a manual. Keep up the great work.
When I found your channel a couple months ago I watched every vid you did across a weekend. Great stuff and keep up the good work.
I am amazed how complex the coyote engine casting are
We really appreciate you taking the time to break these down and show us the epic fails, Cheers!
Your videos are pretty much the only thing on here that excite me. Love these tear down videos. There's no shitty music, you're knowledgeable and the camera work is great. I feel like I actually learn stuff from your videos!
This channel is pure video gold. Thank You so much for taking us along with you on these "adventures". Fred
Adam Sandler tearing down engines! Who woulda thought? We all gotta look like somebody and Adam is a spectacular talent. Thumbs up.
He does reminds me of Adam Sandler almost.
Second video of Eric's after watching the LS 7 litre teardown and I went looking for this comment LOL.
This guy has more talent than Adam Sandler...
Automotive autopsy, love it. In my fifty years of mechanical experience I have never heard of a BAD BATCH of oil. More like never changed it, granny loaned her car to her teen age grandson WILLIE who put his right foot to the floor and left it there until the engine blew and the noise interfered with his favorite radio station. He limped it home to granny's in a cloud of blue smoke. She invited him in for a plate of home made cookies. Granny was never the wiser. The wrecking yard offered her a hundred bucks and she took it.
first vid iv'e seen and you've earned my sub, good audio, good visuals and good commentary. straight to the point with no bs.
This has got to be one of the most disastrous teardowns we've seen yet, I think it's easier at this point to count what parts aren't smoked
well the skinny rods & gerotor oil pump & case remind me of the same items out of a carbed 1.9L 1986 Ford Escort. Only slightly beefier. : l For 'Coyote' use I suppose...... ??
@@timewa851 Remind.!! Is that because there both Ford.!! Hmmm.!!
From one gear head to another this is one of the best on U Tube . Keep up the great show .
These videos are really good , he’s kind of like the dexter of car engines . Once that engine hits his table , its game over . Very impressed with the knowledge and facts thrown in . Great work !
Well, I have to commend you on very informative and entertaining videos.
Your videos popped up on my feed last week and i am addicted. Your camera shots are excellent as well as your narrative. Your dry humour definitely make the videos enjoyable - THANKS!
"That's a lot of damage" - Flex Seal Guy
Love these videos. I am obsessed with topping up and changing oil after watching engine videos like these! Great job!
This motor likely died from overheat or boost, the first gen has bad coolant flow on the back cylinders, and they like to run out of ring gap and either score the shit outta the cylinders creating a massive compression leak, or they just make piston mcnuggets and adjustable rods like those one did. Usually the trucks score the walls on an overheat, Usually the mustang models make nuggets and stuff.
Congratulations on your new v6! Really enjoying your videos, one on my fav TH-camrs for sure.
Keep the teardown videos coming man. You present the content really well. Well lit, good camera angles, knowledgeable presenter good mix of humor. If you bought this motor for scrap you still made money off it just for these vids.
Dude I have a gen one Coyote in my Mustang. This videos very informative. I do all my own repairs But this motors been awesome, Easy to work on an easy access For most repairs.
Coyote is an amazing platform and honestly one of Ford's best engines.
Thanks for doing these videos. Your take on the damage and cause is always very enlightening to me.
Great content as usual. Really like seeing the inside of these engines can’t wait for your next post
Really love your videos! Keep up the good work Bro, your making fascinating content... 👍...
Im a simple man. I see a teardown video in my notifications and I immediately click on it
Dude. I remember thinking when you were near 1,000 viewers and saying everyone should sub because this is great content. You’re blowing up now!
Awesome teardown and analysis. And no music, THANK YOU FOR THAT!
I can't wait to see new engine autopsy. Love channel.
Need to open up the oil filter up next time.
You definitely can break a cam cap loosening or tightening them unevenly. When you do its not like you can just get another easily since they are line honed in a set for that head. Ask Tom if you ever want to hear about him trying to get a replacement.
I like your humbleness and gratitude. Its great to see the inside of a 4.6 and a 5.0 . It appears, they have similar timing chain and valve train designs.
Your videos help for me to understand the true simplicity of Ford's OHC Design.
I really appreciate your videos, well done and narrated. Very informative thanks for doing this! 👍
You sure know your engines. This is my first deep dive of a Coyote engine here on your channel. Thanks for sharing. Big Al.
People hear the "Ti-VCT VVT DOHC" and think it's complex, but honestly this engine isn't too hard to follow, unlike the German counterparts.
That Fram is actually an Ultra which is a great filter. Synthetic media, silicone valves, etc. Definitely a higher end filter.
Agree. Some of their stuff isn't bad, at least in recent years. Although on anything I can (even if it isn't Ford), I run Motorcraft filters. Very well built at a surprisingly cheap price.
This. Fram isnt just "orange can o death". The Ultra is probably one of the best filters out there, fairly inexpensive and very readily available.

Excellent presentation, super good video. I have watched several of your tear downs now and all of them are really really good. No back ground music is a huge plus. Very informative. Thanks for doing these. Keep it up. Gave you a thumbs up, would give you two if I could.
Just subscibed after 2nd vid. I like tge teardowns and the variety of motors. Once you know your field of work, every nuance tells a story of basic fact. It does not lie. Shared to my wife whos gearhead brother surprisingly never shared this knowledge with her. After just one vid she has a better understanding of the engines she speaks about being a 'car girl'. Priceless. Thx for your vids and keep up the great work.
I'm not a car guy but I find your videos fascinating.
Subbed and started watching this channel about a month ago. Great content!
never in my life have I used a 9mm socket. That was hilarious! Love these videos, I just bought my first BMW with the N55 motor and watched that tear down as well. I'm totally hooked on your channel ;-)
Thanks so much for doing these videos! They are really interesting!
Pretty nice engine, looks like a good design. Oil nozzles/piston cooling etc.
Been waiting for this one 🤘
I really like your videos. I have learned so much about engines.
These modern engine teardowns are extremely helpful to today's techs. New subscriber here.
The 5.0 coyote is a hell of an engine. It makes a lot of power from a fairly small displacement, mostly from the 4v heads. They are just humongous though, for a small displacement V8, and that's because of the heads too, lol.
Neat to see the inside of this engine. My wife has a 2012 Mustang GT. I have a 2017 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 engine.
Have 120,000 absolutely no problems 2012GT auto, ran Royal Purple to about 70,000 then shop stopped carrying it, would have cost me 140 for oil change. Burns 1 quart between a 5 thousand oil change, with spirited driving. I dont go with the 10,000 oil changes. A good high milage synthetic. Car still will go 150mph with confidence. Probably put in a Ford Performance Crate Motor at some point to last, untill 2035 when we cant but fossil fuel. Enjoy....
Love your vids!!...
Interesting a/f and very easy to watch... well done👍🏼
Great sense of humour. Love the teardowns - keep them coming!
I would have liked for you to cut open that oil filter to see whats inside.
it's a fram, nothings inside the filter. It's all in the engine.
That went out with a bang and not a whimper.. Like to have heard that one.
I'm more of a Ford person than GM, , watching somebody tear down a Coyote makes me appreciate the beautiful and effective simplicity of LS engines.
Coyote's are fairly simple compared to the more exotic OHC engines.
Thank you. For us old car guys its a very informative venue. Keep up the good work.
You should do a duramax and a 6.7 powerstroke if you ever get your hands on one, since those would be incredible to see
Love the coyote v8 thanks for the teardown.
Oh yea me to. Got a 2011 gt 5.0 stang, love it. Just bought a new ,, bbk oil seperater, works great, on the 5.0 litre stang.
Keep up the good work man I would easily watch u do a million of these tear down there informative pleasant and funny 💗
Really enjoyable videos! Thank you. Keep it up!🤙🤙🤙
I never realized how big the heads are on these engines. Makes the entire assembled motor just massive!
Yep. Over head cam motors are not tiny even when they are considered lower "displacement" for a v8.
That’s an overhead cam engine for you.
Oil starvation. Probably had their oil changed at Walmart.
"She didn't pay extra for all 8 quarts"
@@Tarkov. bruh you have no idea how often people flip out when they find out it says 'for the first 5 quarts'
i remember a guy saying 100$ for an oil change?! WHY?
sir your lexus takes 9 quarts full synthetic, you specified mobil 1.
@@bradhaines3142 that shit is just gimmicky especially when you consider your average bonehead consumer. I understand people are cheap and ignorant but that sounds like a gimmick to me
@@JR-uc1of whats the gimmick? the first 5 quarts policy? wrong word for it, id say its disingenuous. though most cars are 5 or less, more and more use more of it. almost any truck is going to be 6 or 7, and a lot of luxury cars use 7+, any diesel truck is 10+ but those owners tend to know that thankfully.
It's amazing that these engines have so many moving parts. Love it.
Eric, I truly enjoy watching your teardowns! I am a retired mechanic of 45 years. You make me laugh every time you say “Probably blew up at idle” !
Please keep up the great work and you can work on my car anytime buddy!!!
Danny
Thanks for this teardown. I always wanted to see it's guts. And yes the teardown confirmed what I thought. It's just as overly complicated on the inside as it looks from the outside. xD
Yes they sure are. I promise you the current engine is far worse. I know cus i work at the plant where these are built.
"Metal Sludge" great name for a heavy metal band,,
Sludge is a whole genre of metal and I'm not pulling your leg, there really is an entire music culture around "sludge metal". Pretty cool music too :-)

Like someone else mentioned, sludge metal is an entire sub-genre of heavy metal. If you're interested in some good examples, check out Acid Bath, Eyehategod, and Down!
Dude that was so much fun thank you ,👏love to see how things blow.
My daily driver is powered by a 1.3 litre, normally-aspirated, pushrod 4-cylinder motor on which I've been doing ALL the maintenance since 1994. I am stunned by the complexity which motors have attained. At the same time, I'm fascinated by your work, and I wish I was working alongside you, because there is clearly so much that you could teach to me about the practical mechanics of tearing down and rebuilding 21st century motors. I'm now a subsriber, and sense a binge-watching marathon of your videos coming on....
9mm socket (11/32) Subaru power washer rocker arms, rocker arms on some motorcycles, and the bolts holding the glass in the sliding door of a Dodge Caravan.
That's gotta be the most interesting header design I've seen
Ford Engineer made a pair in his garage, seriously..Ford wanted the 2011 to make 400hp naturally aspirated. Engineer said that they had to have these stainless steel tri shorty headers, no matter the extra cost. Hence, they came out with 2011 Muscle Car of the year, 420hp
Great job man. 👏 best educational videos ever, looks like it's doing pretty well.
You are truly the Adam Sandler of the automotive world! Dry humor is great and in a dark alley you even look a bit like him! Keep it up!
Great Video ! Can you do one of those BMW N54's ?
Coyote cylinder #8 is the one that goes when people do bad tunes. I'd imagine that is likely one of the contributors here.
I'm more apt to put the blame on that oil filter. But it's entirely possible.
@@TestECull That, as well as likely just a low oil level/badly maintained as mentioned previously. In 2011-2012, the hypereutectic pistons needed the oil jets to stay cool, so a combination of low oil and a bad tune would nuke the #8 piston pretty good.
mainly onn the fseries 5.0. only the mustangs got the forged oil pump gears. many upgrade that part around the same time they tune it.
Hasn’t oil consumption been an issue with these mills? Spray-in Nickasil coating that sucked?
@@prevost8686 Not on this Gen 1 block, it has iron sleeves.
fantastic video. I check the oil on my 5.0 every week and ONLY change it myself every 4,000 miles strictly.
I appreciate you sharing this with us people you’re a great person and thank you
That looks like some high RPM nitrous failure.
You dont need ring gap or higher octane fuel
Great one-liner: "That's most of the piston." Hilarious. Hurts to see a motor looking like that.
Thanks for the videos. As a retired Auto Tech for mainly imports these are fun to watch. I was in the business for 18 years. First in European cars then Japanese and Korean the final was Pontiac & Ford. I went into IT in 1984 until 2010. I am local to STL. I still help friends with older vehicles as needed as well as their computers. Still have my tools. 😊
What part of town u inn?
Your channel came across my feed so I decided to check it out. Glad I did!!! New subscriber!
The inside of the engine looked relatively clean inside, in that it wasn't all varnished up with dirty overheated oil, so it was not totally neglected. But the oil WAS darker, and thicker than I'd like to see, which made me think it was past due for an oil change, maybe a little low on oil, too. Then it was over revved, and the rod journals furthest from the oil pump took the hit when it emptied the oil pan.
For these DOHC engines which run their cams in aluminum journals integral in the head casting, not running the best oil, thru the best filter media, in no more than 5k mile OCI's is just suicide.
That's just criminal to do an engine like that. However, I think you can get 7K easy (and maybe more) with synthetic oil. No? (Properly filled, of course).
@@scott1564 from factory yes you can, manual says 6k miles. I have a 2016 5.0 with a 3L whipple on it pushing 958rwhp. All that is done to the engine itself is billet crank sprocket, billet oil pump gears, headstuds to prevent head lift and gapped my rings ofc. But rods, crank, pistons, rockers and springs are all stock. All it has had essentially is preemptive work. It is my daily, i beat the crap out of it and it has been going strong for 27k miles boosted. 5.0 mustangs are the best bang for your buck platform to build off of
@@tinchocore6777 I have the 2016 5.0 but in an F150.
