11-14 Ford F150 5.0L Coyote Teardown: Shop Says "Its bad", They Weren't Kidding!

- With as common as Ford's 5.0L Coyote V8 is, the fact that its been nearly 2 years since I've torn one down was a travesty! This particular coyote is from a 2012 F150 with 220K miles. A shop condemned the engine and the owners called a salvage yard to sell the truck, where I then bought the engine from it as a core.
Lets just say, the shop that condemned the engine... they were RIGHT.
If this is the first video you've seen on the channel and you're wondering what other engines I've torn down, you can find all 120+ of them here:
• Blown Up Engine Tear D...
Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area, called Importapart. Part of our model includes buying core/blown/failed engines and dismantling them to salvage the good, usable parts for resale. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do!
You can peruse our inventory of parts and parts cars at www.Importapart.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
I hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

Every time I watch a video here, it makes me feel like I need to change my oil.
Check out the engine oil level at the same time.....
Thats how I felt when I saw the subaru engine teardown a couple weeks ago. Like "OK I'm gonna give my own subie's engine some needed care now because this just makes me feel bad for it."
I used to go 5k miles but now I'm changing every 3k miles.
@@kthwkr mine is brand spankin new, book says every 10k miles, i do it every 5
@@kthwkr What brand of oil? I'm running strictly Mobil 1 Extended Performance 20k with M1Ep filters and changing around 5k-6k with a moderate amount of highway miles
It always amazes me that people will spend $50-70k on a vehicle, and then neglect changing the oil or any maintenance.
It had 220k on it, so the vehicle certainly wasn't worth that when the engine cheked out.
An 11-14 f150 was never worth that to begin with
@@davidstewart4570I suspect the person who put the first 150-160 on it wasn't the person who put the rest on.
Yup straight up vehicle abuse.
Common Core etc
A testament to the engine quality. It went 220,000 miles with relatively poor maintenance, and the failures were universal, meaning that eveything was failing simultaneously, rather than an outlier part that cratered the engine early by itself. That is about the best you can ask for - have everything wearing at the same pace.
Every once in a while even Ford builds a somewhat decent engine.
@@scottysgarage4393Better than the junk Chevy shits out
@@scottysgarage4393 Yeah, overall from what I've read, their Coyote engines are pretty rock-solid. It's easy to see why Ford sells so many F-150s with them.
@@scottysgarage4393,The ford 4.9 liter inline 6 is arguably one of the best engines ever built. I have one in my 94 F150 2wd 5 speed. It is 29 years old, and runs like a swiss watch, so I'm not sure what, or how much you know. UPS has used this engine forever.
@@jima3129 Yes? The 300 is a great engine. The 302 was pretty good, as was the 351m and the 460. But that was a long time ago. Ford mostly threw it away in '97 with their morbid fixation on sticking OHC in trucks.
And no, the Coyote is not rock solid. It's far better than the Triton but over 100k miles they are notorious for top end noise and issues, which is why used Ford resale continues to be far below every other truck but the Titan.
Just blows my mind to see these tear downs….when I was a kid ….40+ years ago….roller rockers, windage trays etc, where the stuff of exotic high performance racing cars,etc……now it’s an everyday thing…..lol😂
Yeah, it's amazing how far engines have come. Cars in general. I'm driving a 2022 Honda Accord for a little while and it has the idle stop "feature" (some people call it a bug). Having grown up driving carbureted cars it's a bit disconcerting when you engine suddenly shuts down when you stop at a light.
@@Andrew-ep4kw
I agree. And l don't like it for the extra wear on the starter.

Best one yet Eric.
@440c I just had 3 goes to read it once 😂
Have a 2012 Ford F150 with this same engine. Was interesting to see what it looks like inside. It has 260,000 miles and still runs great. Changing oil every 5,000 miles. Thinking about going out to check the dipstick right now.
Great video. First time I've ever seen a 5l coyote motor torn down. That's a cool little motor. No wonder people like them. Double overhead cam, four valves per cylinder, cross bolted lower girdle- hemispherical combustion chambers, cylinder oilers,
- that's some cool engineering.
Thank you
Agreed
it almost like they were watching n52 videos
That engine takes the words, "it's toast," to a whole new level. They turned that crank into a welding machine! Thanks for another great video!
Damn right
That poor engine screams neglect, what a shame. Great teardown, I shed a tear on almost every one of them because most could be avoided, but some of the complete devastations are just too intriguing in the aspect of commitment in going all the way to the bitter end.
Why do you care ?
@@kenj.8897 Really, Guess I'll see your engine on here next.
It's amazing isn't it how people throw money at good thing even if it has problems and procede to neglect it royally it's disgusting but as someone else said we live ina throw away society
That and high revving will destroy any engine.
Ride to the wheels fall off
As a diesel engine guy I am thoroughly impressed by the design of the bottom end of the engine. Now I’m not surprised by how much HP the coyote can make.
I have the same 5.0 Coyote in my 2013 F-150 STX. Almost 139k miles and it still runs great. Great torque, great HP, and great reliability. Gone on multiple road trips, using 4x4 high long distance. It won't let you down.
I have the same spec truck 2013 F-150 STX 5.0L SuperCab, have about 144k on it now.
It was running a little rough when I purchased with 131k miles, 2 years ago.
Had to replace oil pan gasket seal, oil pressure sending unit controller, and the coolant tubing and reservoir. I optionally replaced the standard air intake with Roush Cold Air kit.
After all that it runs a lot smoother.
Other than some surface rust on the rear wheel wells and under the cab, pretty solid truck.
I'll probably add a UPR oil catch can and aftermarket exhaust next, not sure which yet though.
I have the same truck, just bought her with 105k about a month ago after my old chevy 350 finally quit on me. So far Im in love.
I have the same truck with the same mileage. In the past six months I’ve replaced the blow motor and resistor, the oil pressure sensor and the water pump. It wouldn’t start recently and I found out there’s a replacement kit for the fuel pump fuse. Fuse #27. You should check to see if yours is burning up so you don’t get stranded.
@bobsmith-ji2uh I had that problem before with the fuel pump fuse. I sadly got stranded because it burnt up but I had it relocated. But I love these trucks, they are solid.
Tonight's lesson: a little oil goes a long way. The dip stick battle was a bit of a disappointment, but a great teardown, Eric. Keep up the great work! 🎉
I have a 2014 F150 with the 5.0. It uses a little oil between changes, but overall I really like the truck and the engine. It has about 165K on it. I was very interested in watching this video, but now I have a strong urge to go check the oil level in my truck again. 😄
Yeah this was blatantly obvious that the owner rarely changed his oil. To have every hearing go bad has no other explanation.
Change your oil every 5k miles and use liqui moly or amsoil if you want to keep it for a long time.
what he said..5k..synthetic oil is rubbish..
I've owned several 4.6s and 5.0 Coyotes and the one thing I always do is changed the oil every 4k miles running Mobil 1 and also change coolant every 16 months. My 96 Mercury Gd Marquis has 681k on it all original and the only thing I ever changed was a water pump because it was leaking. Trans fluid I change every year along with the filter.
My 2012 f150 has 222k miles. Synthetic blend 5w-20 and filter every 7500-8000 miles. Zero issues. Never had a CEL. Typically mototcraft brands I have used others. Body is rusted so bad it's not worth the $2500+ for timing overhaul
Did you check/change your oil yet? Was everything ok?
As a retired master mechanic, your definition of cleaning up with a little sand paper is different than mine! The front rod journals look like where it may have started. A religious oil change interval would have helped. I've gotten nearly 300k on many of my engines. But I also do oil analysis periodically. And I've run all the Big 3 engines! Good stuff!
Oil analysis is a valuable tool . Worked 45 years a on rotating equipment oil analysis can tell you a lot.
There was no sludge! The oil present did not look all that bad, time for a change. There wass oil in the head, so what caused the bearings to fail...."Poor Lubrication" or what would be called "Vaiscosity Break Down".
I´v alway´s said "follow the owners manual recomendation".
After seeing severla videos like this one I´v gotten suspisious of useing a 20 weight oil.
For me being a chevy guy and never seeing one of these apart before i am impressed with the parts and design, simple maintenance this would still be running
I agree somebody run dog crap outta that thing and very few oil changes
My days of working on engines was decades ago. I'm amazed at the level of sophistication for an engine that is being used in an F150. Compared to an old Small Block 302 that thing is like a race engine. Cross bolted mains, piston oilers, and those sexy heads. Must be expensive to produce versus an LS or Hemi, and then somebody abused it. What's interesting is that it appears to have had oil changes as there was not a terrible amount of sludge, if at all, but then for some reason was run dry. My guess is this was a new owner that picked it up off the used car lot then just drove the heck out of it. Ouch.
Something that amazes me... almost all of the engines Eric tears down have windage trays. Back in my heyday NONE of the engines I ever worked on had a factory windage tray. Another thing, almost all of today's engines have stud girdles for the main bearings, or the mains are part of the girdle. And of course all of today's engines have 6-bolt main bearings. In the past, everything was just two bolt mains except for the very hi-po engines, which had 4.
Yep. The newer engines are definitely works of art. I tell my customers don't listen to these extended oil change intervals at all. If you are running good synthetic and a good filter I still never go past 5k miles, even less if it is forced induction. I change the oil in my cars every 4K and I run Mobil 1 with Wix filters. The people that change oil at 10k are just begging for trouble.
@@stevenyoung3360and usually just right outside of warranty too🤣🤣
I know that many people when they start hearing knocking will change their oil in hopes of it fixing itself too
@@stevenyoung3360 Yeah, there are even people who "recommend" changing the oil every 3k or even less on turbocharged engines (which is pretty much all of them today), but if you are putting a lot of miles, that means a change twice a month or even more which is just insane.
Notable that Coyote is now double digit years old. Time is flying and I feel aged.
Just wait, it gets worse

@@zenjon7892 Yep, you in for a big surprise.
Hey sir, you may not think what you’re doing is significant but your videos have become my FAVOURITE content on yt, I’ve grown out of games and memes, and love your videos, I just want to say thank you and I appreciate your humour 😊
I've had two coyote F150's and loved both of them. They ran really strong and idled very smooth. Like any engine you have to change the oil frequently. I did every 4k. I never had any issues at all. This is probably the reason for most internal failures. I think 4k is the max for any engine oil change length.
Do you stick with the recommended 5/20 oil? I have a 5.0 2012 with 140k and went with Amsoil 10/ 30...runs great so far
The old bearing delete mod. Excellent choice
Weight saving 😎
@@Trendyflute You beat me to it...
From the instant you pulled that first valve cover off, I was 99% sure the engine died from oil starvation. It looked bone-dry inside with lots of oil varnish. Just goes to show it doesn't matter how good a design is, no engine can take being run with low/no oil for very long.
I agree with you here. The coyote is a tried and true engine that is hella reliable. Based on the oil pump condition on top of cam, main, and rod bearing journals, this engine was clearly starved for oil and i too would suspect it began with poor maintenance and ultimately led to oil starvation thereby killing it.
Yup, when he said some oil deposits, I was like errr that looks like burnt oil deposits on the cam actuators and chain. They look almost blackened. Heat and oil starvation. I dont want to ever see that in my engine.
Bingo PAL 😢
@@cnrails wasn't it odd to see Motorcraft plugs and oil filter on it though. As if it were dealer maintained and then not. New owner likely never used a screwdriver for anything or only as a chisel.
@@DoRu42 well I’ve seen people with OE stuff but run them 80,000 miles on the same oil and filter.
I was stuck by how clean the intake ports and valves were on this high mileage, neglected? engine. The PCV system is really scavenging the oil well. It is amazing to see.
I really enjoy watching your videos, very informative and interesting. I've done minor repairs but not a major tear down. I find your commentary humorous, light hearted but full of useful information. Thank you, keep doing what you're doing.
The Facebook algorithm probably thought you were looking to trade ammo. It doesn’t know the difference between a 9mm socket and 9mm ammo.
Well 10mm is way better than 9 even for ammo. :) some will say. I guess for sockets as well...
The way the pistons drop right out under their own weight, very low tension piston rings.
Low tension piston rings, leads to oil consumption, greater than what used to be "normal."
High oil consumption, running on little oil, bearing wear accelerated... what Eric found.
I would say the vast majority of oil burn is due to low tension piston rings. What a ridiculous idea those have been. My wife had a Yukon XL that started burning oil at 35k miles. Everyone told me it’s the cylinder deactivation. Wrong. I disabled it at 50k miles and the oil burn stayed the same all the way until we sold it with 215k miles.
@@hokie9910 some low tension piston rings are good design. like toyota. stop buying shit GM and FCA.
cool story bro
@@mann_idonotreadreplies Toyota had such a bad problem with high oil consumption due to low tension ring, that resulted in a class action lawsuit. Toyota came up with a mod to fix the problem. The Car Care Nut on TH-cam. had a good video on this. They and other manufacturers now proclaim that 1000 miles per quart of oil is normal.
@@raoulcruz4404 Correct. The 1ZZ is a mess of an engine. Every manufacturer has several engines that have issues.
Kudos, kudos kudos!! A peek inside the oil filter would've been interesting, but you never disappoint, Eric. Thank you!
Great show! Thanks! I am considering rebuilding my 2004 Ford F150 4.2L because all the salvage engines i have found in my area start at 120K miles.
Such satisfying pops on those cam bolts. The rod bearings out of those first two cylinders aren't just well done, they're CONGRATULATIONS!
I like how when you were using the air gun on the last bolt you went back to regular speed. A lot of us really like the sound of the air guns.
not me
Like Garth in Wayne's World😆
3:38 -- "Uncle Rodney, are you there?" Gearhead comedy gold!!
Great job man, I love your funky comments and the way you speak to the engine, it almost appears as if it talks back. And the bearing sea was a nice touch. God bless you 🙏
Another great tear down Eric, keep them coming. I was thinking your engine stand needs a custom catch tray underneath that sits on the legs. Maybe someone with a 3D printer can make one for it.
I use a plastic tray from a dog cage
Got a 2014 F150 with the Gen 1 5.0. Very reliable truck I love it. Only problems I've ever had are the dumb coolant rings near the thermostat. Replace every couple years as they leak during the cold Canadian winters.
Yep!! I've replaced those rings twice and the whole Y-spliiter assembly once. That's literally my only issue with my 2011 5.0 as well.
Did you have to replace transmission lead frame?
@@greghoffman3146 nope not yet. 170,000km
Thanks for the great, very informative video. I have a 2019 F150 Gen. 3 5.0L Coyote, and seeing another Coyote completely torn down is very enlightening. Fortunately, I do take much better care of my Coyote than this owner obviously did, going no longer than 5K miles with my oil change intervals. And, I use 5W30 full synthetic because I started smelling gasoline in my catch can, which I assume is unburned gas blowing by the pistons and further diluting the oil in the crankcase, hence the reason for the switch to 5W30.
Wow, listening to those cam cap bolts is so satisfying!! The best cam cap bolt sounds ever
If I’m not mistaken I think metal starting changing color around 700 degrees Fahrenheit but depends on that bearings metal type it could be higher or lower. Id say those front pistons seen 1000+ degrees Fahrenheit… 5.0s are monsters
By the condition of those two rods and bearing foil, they were probably glowing shade of amber.
@@czarekaj1098 Let's say they hit a dull amber glow, that's about 1,000K which is 726.85°C aka HOT
@@jmcarreiro I think you a very close to the temperature that the rods and crank were heated up to. It might be even higher considering one of the remnants of the bearing was spot welded to the crank. That would be somewhere around 1350C
Steel goes to that nice deep blue at around 550-600F, the rods themselves definitely were glowing then turned black by the oil carbonizing as they cooled off
another great vid! would love to see a 2.0L or 2.5L skyactive engine, they supposedly have some cool technology in them
I own two 2.5 Skyactive engines. Entirely reliable, thrifty, and smooth. VERY satisfied Mazda owner hete.
@@rogerhenry3481 I own a 2.0L skyactiv. Pretty peppy little engine.
The supply of failed skyactiv cores might be a bit lacking, that engine is known to be absolutely bulletproof.
I been asking for that engine. I can’t find a single teardown on the entire internet
I have a pre-Skyactiv 2.5 MZR engine. 292k and it’s never been opened. Still gets 28mpg. I worked at a Mazda dealer when the skyactiv came out. It’s also about the same time Mazda moved all their production back to Japan. Our warranty claims weren’t zero, but they were few and far between. Usually it was little things like window motors or AC relays. We also sold Nissans and their warranty claims were ridiculous. People would cross shop the two brands and 75% went to Nissan because they had better rebates and financing incentives, but the cars weren’t nearly if the same build quality of Mazda. There’s a reason that Nissan is the Chrysler of Japan and Mazda is continually in the top 5 of quality. My mom has had one for 3 years and gets 35 mpg and hasn’t had it to the shop for anything other than a tire patch.
I'm a ford driver and this is really great. I wish my drill drivers were as fast as yours. Thanks for posting.
Enjoy all of your teardowns. thanks.
I LOVE how you treat the components of the engine. Thank you. When you slammed that guide rail onto the ground, I laughed audibly. Cheers!
Very clever to sneak up on that 2nd main bearing cap. I can tell, you startled it loose!
Cracking of head bolts reminds me of popping bubble wrap. Satisfyingly addictive sound.
Great video! I love engine tear downs and rebuilds! I don’t do them myself but I am familiar with engines. This was a well done video and it was great to see the results of a catastrophic failure. It is amazing what we humans have created and how robust something like this V8 engine is while at the same time susceptible to neglect and poor maintenance.
I recently bought a new F150 with 5.0 litre V8 Coyote engine. I am hoping to get a lot of miles out of it and intend to take care of it.
I wonder how much material was in the filter ..
Nice job as always
I can't wait for these videos. They really make my weekend
I wonder what the inside of the oil filter looks like.
Shit that is probably a metal portrait inside their
Thanks for the vids. I've only seen a few and wonder if you ever cut open the oil filters to see the mayhem inside?
I like to drive without the radio on sometimes just to hear how the motor and transmission are doing and listen to any changes. I like Eric said the driver of the car had his radio full blast.
Great video! Would Love to see a 7.3 Godzilla tear down!

This video is like an Auto Shop Action Adventure movie, and I enjoyed every moment. I was considering buying a 2013 5.0 F-150 very soon. Seeing the teardown gave me pause. And at the end you are standing by a GM-800 Silverado, very much like the truck I now have with a Jasper 5.3 rebuild. Think I will hang with my 2000 Z71 for a long time. Regards!
Great video Adam, I enjoy your expertise on engines and your funny movies. Take care.
Mine is a 2012 5.0 with 93K and I have been using BG's EPR and MOA religiously in it.
Had the oil pan off last month and it looked beautiful in there.
Thanks for the video, very entertaining.
My 2012 has 222k miles. 7500-8k mile intervals. Typically motorcraft brand but always 5w-20 and filter. Zero issues. Never had CEL. Body is so rusted its not worth the $2500+ for timing overhaul.
I have found by far what keeps engines clean is quality oil and rpm. I regularly red line shift everything I've ever owned, and the insides are always spotless and the piston rings are never stuck. Stuff gets gunky and starts having problems when oil is not well cared for and it never gets exercised. Cam phasers do much better when regularly stroked throughout their full range of motion, which requires regularly driving the engine under all types of load scenarios. Maintenance and quality consumables keep engines alive much longer. Heavy use doesn't really affect most decent modern designs within a reasonable vehicle lifespan unless you're trying to set mileage records. I have had stuff that was always meticulously maintained and beat on for 200k, and the only reason it uses oil by then is from running inadequate aftermarket air filtration the whole time.
That Coyote and 10-speed in a newer F-150 made a Ford man out of me. Got 32mpg over 200 miles on back roads of Texas but after the gas-mileage run when I needed some "push," it had plenty. Sad to see one in dismal condition.
Was it mostly downhill? Lol
In a naturally aspirated 3.5, standard cab, short box, two wheel drive, 2016 f-150 I get 15 mpg.....six speed.
@@goosedeathable 10 gears + VCT = good mpg.

Class action lawsuit for the 10 speeds. Sign up
Usable parts are the inlet manifold, the crank pulley, the coil packs and timing covers, the rest is good to be sorted into 2 piles, steel, aluminium, and melted down. Wiring harness can be used for spare parts as well, like if your friend Bubba removes a coil pack using Blue the crowbar, and does not undo the bolts or connections.
The Coyote Engines are overall pretty damn good. I have a 2018, F150 with the 5.0 and LOVE it. My last trip from NM to WI we were getting 25.7 mpg. It runs like a top, smooth as silk, lots of power when necessary. The 6 speed trans still works perfectly. It has 110k miles and it sees the dealer for oil changes, etc., very regularly. The body is as new. When the time comes I intend to replace the power train & essentially have a new truck. It will be worth it.
All 2018 F150 5.0's had 10r80 transmissions. How'd you get a 6r80 in yours?
@@02autogt and how did he get 25.7 mpg’s ?😝
So avoidable! Most manufacturers say wait for the oil life indicator to say it's time to change oil, but I stick with every 4K miles.
Would love to see you do a GM 4.2 inline 6 like the Trailblazers ran. Be interesting to see the crazy axle going through the oil pan design on that.
I swapped an engine in one of those. The differential going through the oil pan was the worst part of the whole job. I got a used engine and the "new" one they couldn't get the axle assembly out of the pan and it was broken pretty badly. Had a heck of a time getting it off of the oil pan.
If you do a lot of stop and go city type driving your OLM might put you under 4k.
@@stinky817 That's why I would love to see him tear down one of these. I have owned a few of them including the current one that I am driving and I've always wondered how much of a nightmare it was.
I used to be fearful of long intervals, but when I realized my Coyote holds twice the oil my old 302 Mustang did (which would go 4K between changes) it makes sense. If you assume the oil gets dirty at the same rate across both engines, having twice the oil capacity makes it half as dirty for the same mileage driven.
@shortattentionspangarage1312 no, the newer engine is much harder on the oil that that 302
Wow, impressive number of spun bearings!
"something tells me something bad is happening... I'm gonna keep going"
I love this channel 🏁
Thank you for sharing your video appreciate that see what you're showing to me that engine ran out of oil for everything to seize out in turn that's my opinion and thank you for sharing again
The last 10 miles with no oil did the Ford in.
This video reminds me, it's almost time for the next 3K oil change on my 23 year old GMC.
3k miles an oil change I was thinking 1.5k at max I could be wrong but want to keep engine optimal an healthy
Great vid, would love to see an f150 2.7l v6.
Great video! Sure can tell someone didn't check their oil level. Interesting to see how long that engine still must have run to melt the bearings like it did.
Just found your channel and of the 4 or 5 videos I've watched, it has ALWAYS been bearings. I'm going to be damn sure not to miss any oil changes.
would love to see a first gen SHO motor if you ever get them. or a SHO v8 out of the second gen taurus sho, but those are like unobtanium
I second this one. I drove one of the V8 SHO’s for a while. It was front-heavy as could be but that engine was a ton of fun!
@@sadlerbw9 They were all fun and games till the cam sprockets slipped on the cams and trashed things on the V8 SHO's. Very common....enough so the preventative method was to have them tack welded to prevent that slip.
I second this one
@@NCSTANGGUY Sadly, my SHO ended it's career in an accident. Got nailed in the drivers side front wheel pulling out of an intersection with less than great visibility. It broke many, many things and the car was totaled. Poor thing didn't get a chance to die of natural causes!
Thanks for another great teardown. When it comes to engine oil I don't go by the manual or the oil life monitor and stick to 3-4k max even with M1 synthetic.
Someone else who gets it.. you are correct
I have almost 400k on my 97 powerstroke and I have always done 4K mile changes. It holds 14 quarts and costs a ton to change but having the same truck run reliably for twenty some years and 400k miles I think I saved money. I don’t baby the truck either, it’s my daily work truck and never goes anywhere without a trailer hooked up.
Good for you, I do the same. Keep it full, clean and changed.
@@Ws6Msbased on what? If you drive normally and use high quality full synthetic and extended life filter your fluid is still OK at 3000 miles. Throw it away just helps NAPA make more money.
Truck manufacturers do ALOT of testing to set oil
Change intervals. Do you're homework on lubrication, save from cash.
Cant belive I have found someone who talk of car Engines in detail.
I’m always impressed that those plastic chain guides survive the timing chain rubbing against it under tension.
Uncle Rodney gets no respect, no respect at all, I tell'ya. 👔

Nice vid. Took some of the mystery out of what is under my hood ,'14 F150
I gotta admit, I didn't care for your personality at first, but now after watching the majority of your videos, I'm a fan. Love the channel, love the hard work and dedication you put in. Thanks for showing ua all these engines!
It depends on the Steel but those Rainbow Colors can appear around 300-500°C and to turn black it needs to be at least glowing temp 600-800°C
Which translates to what in ferenhyte
Coyote swap the world. Greatest engine Ford has produced. I will have a Coyote swapped vehicle at some point in my life.
Excellent breakdown. What kind of sockets are you using
22:04 im looking at the pattern of debris on the cams… thinking to myself. What kind of sound would you get if you put it under a record needle?
I knew exactly where that metal was coming from. Shame people don't spend such little money on oil changes thinking they're saving money, then the engine goes kaput.
I don't see sludge anywhere. I don't think that was the issue. My hunch (not a mechanic) is that it was an oil burner and it simply ram dry
Love the RX7 on the hoist. That would be worth heaps in Australia
I also liked the bearing sea description. Your the engine whisperer! Also, I believe that color blue happens in the 550-600 range on steel.
Keep up the good work look forward to your videos amazing what people do to engines
The exhaust cams on the f150 5.0 are the same as the Mustang, the intake cams are F150 specific. People usually replace the intake cams with Mustang cams for a nice bump in horsepower.
To get to deep blue, the bearings had to hit 600 degrees F.
Yep. At least. There is a lot of grey too which is even hotter. Those first two rod journals were glowing. Good times.
I've been a full time mechanical for 15 years and can only remember when I was working on my 63 beetle in high school that a few bolts were 9mm. Those sockets are okay for wrapping electrical tape around for tight spaces is all.
Love watching these. Can you show us a video of an engine, maybe a Toyota, that was abused severely? My sister drove an 89 Corolla for a year with no oil changes, and for months with no water in the radiator and it still kept going after it was refilled.
Also, I can't believe those Milwaukee cordless drills will take those bolts out so easily. Nice tools.
Eric, since you did the Coyote, do a 6.0 Powerstroke if you get the chance.

Really enjoy the tear downs! Can the cam journals on the head be rebored and new bearings installed?
So I have one of these that I’ll be changing the passenger side head gasket on do I have to remove the timing cover as a process to removing the heads?
I’d love to know if the oil filter is plugged and if it went into bypass to let all the metal through the engine
Maybe it's time for Eric to add an oil filter inspection to the vids.....for science
@@FrankyRedEyes agreed, get a filter cutter and take a look for metal.
Hey Eric, that was an interesting one. Again as always, poor maintenance. She got pretty hot. It makes me wonder if the bearings oozing out from the rods were next to molten hot. Cheers!
I'd say so. You don't get metal changing color at normal operating temp. 😉
Cool video and all but definitely the best part is that super sweet looking step stool platform @3:58 ... I'm definitely jealous!
I'm impressed that that engine managed to remain running long enough to fry that many bearings haha
Hey, it had them new-fangled extruded bearings!
Thank you for another great teardown video. It looks like you got at least one new socket? I personally think you need an even stronger engine stand than that black one. I hope the current stand does not drop an engine on you some day. A stronger, tougher stand is just the thing.
Safety is key! A beefier engine stand would be a nice addition, but I wonder what the price point would be… Can we crowdfund him one?
@@vater1760 I would donate for that, if it could be a really strong engine stand. Also for some type of combination hoist/cradle/turning device that can support even very heavy engines like the Caterpillar 3126 that he recently tore down. I watched a video from KT3406e doing a teardown of a larger sized Caterpillar engine and that fellow had a pretty beefy hoist and a seriously big forklift to help things out.
My '12 had a SB replacement due to "cylinder delamination." Now have 36k on that new SB and like before, its already knocking like a powerstroke when it's cold. SB was put in under warranty on 2017.
Pale yellow-300 degrees, bright yellow-350, straw yellow-400, dark straw yellow-425, brown-450, purple-475, violet-500, dark blue-525, bright blue-550, blue-gray-575 degrees
An engine will fail, most likely it's the "loose nut behind the wheel" issue 😅 Always great videos 😁👌
30dolla oil changes. Wil. Do I ta ya. God bless amsoil..
You should. Get a sponsor. For a. Good. Motor oil. Royal purple......agip. dura lube. Etc.
@@llineedsadragstrip4089 I get no less than 3 vehicles per month, with no oil in them. There's a magic stick under the hood of (almost) every vehicle, to check the magic oil level. No one apparently knows about it. I call it, the "magic money maker stick". LoL 😆
@@llineedsadragstrip4089 My 2000 Honda Accord is a sleeper. The exhaust alone is $1,000 and a new rack and pinion is going in next week ($600). Full front and rear suspension rebuild last year. New tires going on soon. I drive it like I stole it. No sponsor needed. I do all the work myself. 😉👌
Woo hoo! 5.0L
Have you driven a Ford lately?
Is it really 5 liters, or 4.9 liters, like the old 302? LoL
@@MayheM_72it's 4.9 and still beats a hemi 5.7 and that dog of an engine chevy 5.3 lol
Hi Eric. How similar is thos shortblock to the block of Jaguar/Land-Rover 5.0 you had teared down not so long time ago?
I got my coyote cheap and was in almost exact same condition as this, the caps were in better shape though. I was able to save the block and heads and rebuild it. It was worth it but only just. I did use a forged rotating assembly and upgraded hardware.
