SOMEONE SCREWED UP! This Ford Mustang 5.0 Coyote Engine WAS Nice. Full Teardown Reveals $$$ BLUNDER

- Today's teardown is a 5.0L Gen1 Coyote V8 Engine from a 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT. This 420hp, 390lbft of torque V8 is a core return from a local salvage yard. I don't always get details on these engines but I was told this was from a 2013 with 126k miles however many date codes inside say otherwise so I'm not sure that info is reliable. Being it was a core, I didn't get a full story with what happened to it. I don't buy a ton of coyote core engines because they are pricey and often hurt so bad there's no money to be made parting them out. Only the right set of circumstances make buying a Gen1 coyote a sensible endeavor. Overall, I quite like the gen1 and gen2 coyote engines and I think with average or better care they can last quite a while.
Thanks to @TheMeganBerg for the cameo 🤣

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto recycling business. Part of our model includes buying and dismantling blown up, core and bad engines to salvage the good parts and recycle the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.
I really. hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

Is anyone else so sick of the timing chain guides joke that you skip ahead to avoid that same joke for the several hundred time? It's time you give Thor's daughter her hammer back too lol. Now that's a joke 😎 lol
It never gets old
Glad you saved yourself the 1.8 seconds 🤣
No, timing chain jokes never get old👍
Like the timing chain and the water pump jokes. Keep it up Erik!
I just wonder what the affinity for the chain is about
The shot of water out of the plug hole was absolute gold!! Hahahahaha
I was eating & it almost went the wrong route. The tears & coughing were worth it.
Money Shot!
How could it turn over with that much in the cylinder, it would either hydro-lock or it's fake?
@@alro2434 If it's been sitting in the rain there's every chance it had enough in there to shoot out. Doesn't need much in reality. Even if it was faked, it's funny as !!
I launched trans fluid out of a cylinder once like that. SOmeone had tried to check the rings for compression and put WAY too much fluid in there.
Did we get a Mrs. I Do Cars cameo? Sir, you definitely owe her a nice steak dinner or something, (and no, a used water pump is not an acceptable gift.) Thanks for the vid sir.
😂😂
He brought a used water pump to bed once and she had to remind him of the no car parts in bed rule. So he should already know that idea is out. 😂
Used water pumps are how you woo the girls. Not necessary after they say 'I do'. :p
Why do you think he saves all of the chains.
She is significantly older than him, but whatever floats his boat.
I only just noticed Eric’s wife was reading a brochure for the 1996 Mazda Miata. She truly is his soulmate. 😅❤
Nice job with the packing of the 3.6 Pentastar for Rainman. hope he returns all the fasteners to you…lol…thanks for posting the Coyote tear down, looking forward to seeing this!
When he turned that board over 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol, that was funny, I think Ray's marbles were scrambled after that unboxing.
Eric should have filled the box with shipping peanuts!
A lot of fasteners
He said he was going to build a deck!
You and your lady girl wife made me laugh so hard that I may have pissed myself... thanks 🎉😂
😂😂
It’s a squirter!
Eww, you might wanna see a doctor.
Eric, A bonus suggestion. On one of these teardowns, please consider dingle ball honing a scrap block with surface rust or minor scratches so we can see benefits/limitations. Your camera is so good I think it would be cool to see what could be done. Please and thank you.
That’s a good idea!

I got to tell you Eric watching Ray unpack that engine i just could not stop laughing. Well done sir.

Made for O'Reilly auto parts standard filter for valvline instant oil change places and smaller business owned places. More than likely the owner got the jiffy lube special. We dumped the oil changed the filter forgot the oil then when we started it up it started to knock and we realized our mistake. So we dumped oil into it praying that we were fine but nope we just bought another engine.
A few years ago I had our local shop do an oil change and other mechanical repairs, they dropped the oil and changed the filter however the parts didn't arrive on time for the power steering issue so moved the car outside to start working on the next car on the schedule without refilling it with oil. I arrived to pick up the car when they started it to bring it back inside to complete repairs and was not happy to hear the valve rockers clattering away. Immediately asked if they put oil back in and then they checked and admitted they forgot refilled the crankcase drove it back in the shop did another oil and filter and change and told me if the engine blew up within 10,000 miles they would replace the engine free of charge. Not sure if they would have told me of their mistake had I not witnessed it personally but hope they would have.
@@evanschmidt5624 10,000 miles? Yeah, if that was my car they would be replacing the engine, now.
Yeah having seen a lot of jiffy lube horror stories in the comments of various videos that was my first thought.
@@evanschmidt5624 I th ink I would've gone home, drained the oil - ran the car for a bit, then put the oil back in and towed it to them - that damage may not show for a while :(
@@evanschmidt5624 I hope you made sure it blew up within 10,000 miles.
The look on you're face when the water shot out , still laughing.
This could be a series within a series.
Annual August 5.0 Coyote tear down.
I saw a tip from a Top Fuel team for removing the crank - use a shop towel as a loop around one of the lobes towards the rear of the engine, and use your hand on the front of the crank. That way you don't need to awkwardly squeeze your hand inside the block to lift it up.
Love your videos! The oil change scenario is likely correct. I have an older JEEP Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L inline 6. At 160,000 miles, the dealer drained the oil, put the bung in and then drove it around to the service desk and left it idling while I was waiting to pay the bill. It was a very cold winter day in Canada. Five minutes later, i drove out to the street, looked at the gauges and saw no oil pressure. So I made them change all rod and main bearings, crank seals, timing gears and chain, oil pump, valve stem seals. However cylinder walls were glazed and probably some wear on the cam bearings. Crank was fine. Now at 300,000 miles it still runs strong but has quite a bit of blowby on piston rings. Time for a full rebuild now.
The cutaways are quickly becoming some of my favorite humorous segments of these teardowns!
That was hilarious you two, absolutely did not see that cameo coming xD
This engine is rebuildable. Cleanest internals I have seen.
Uncle Rodney comes to visit almost every video I love it😁
Maybe change it from uncle Rodney to rocking Rodney. Nah.
A relative left a car for an oil change, sometime after the oil was drained but not refilled somebody went for a joyride and killed the engine. When picked up it was full of fresh oil.
And?
C'mon now....
Lol sure
@@babydriver8134That's the entire story. They dropped it off to get an oil change. The mechanic drained the oil but forgot to fill it back up and went for a joyride. They realized they had messed up and when they got, back they put in oil to make it look like they hadn't done anything wrong.
@@NightStalkers-hx3dq I have a grand Cherokee 4xe in the shop for supposed warranty. They had it towed in, claimed it would not start or drive. The block has a crack the size of the Grand Canyon, and I found engine bits in the belly pan. Oil looked fresh and clean on the dipstick, but the oil filter was old and full of metal. You’d be surprised what people will do.
My other thought is somebody took it to a shop. They told him what came out and it went home with fresh oil to get it out of there.
Jiffy Lube strikes again 🙂🙃
A money 💰 💰 shot 😂😂😂😂
As a Chevy guy I hope all the coyote guys take care of their motors and enjoy them.
Lol time bombs
lol time bombs is far from the truth brotha
@@TheFukmookthe stop the bashing you sound foolish!
The coyote engine will never be the heart of any problems with a mustang. It's the driver's and how they cannot avoid people watching on the side of the road when leaving their local cars and coffee
As a Coyote guy I can tell you we tend to over maintain our engines because we enjoy them 😂
The water squirt was historic. :) I'm guessing that you're right about an oil change error that spun those bearings. Definitely a shame.
I Do Cars special guest star appearance !! 😂
@5:55 - Eric - you are like a kid with a squirt gun. Love ya, man.
Eric, your reason for the lack of COYOTE engines is understandable, Oh boy, you live a dangerous life! Soak the wife maybe not a good idea. One serious comment, Your assistance in the Pentastar engine rebuild and GIFT was a very generous and helpful occasion, the packaging caused many a laugh including from Ray.
As always, thanks for the Saturday night entertainment Eric.
Oh, and as a bit of a nerd, I'm waiting for the night you call the cam phasers the cam photon torpedos. :D
Thaank god it's Saturday night! Something decent to watch on youtube, besides reruns of course!
This has to be the earliest you've ever caught a bearing failure. Rodney is still raising his fist to the door.
My guess is this owner either changed his own oil, or had a shop that actually looked at what came out. Either way he saw the glitter and noped himself into a new engine.
Another possibility is the owner noped himself into a sale (via an oil change) and whoever ended up with it caught the glitter and changed the motor.
Either way this didn't get driven long at all with the failure in place.
The water thing 😂😂😂
Hi Eric. Love your channel. Previous Ford tech here. I'm betting that engine got ran low on oil. I've seen damage from forgetting to put any in and you will see destruction on almost all the bearings. The two you had were damaged toward the back of the crank which is furthest from the pump. Seen a ton of 2v mod motors just like this.
Whoever changed the oil probably didnt realize that motor is an 8 quart capacity oil change.
Just like a lot of U-Haul techs aren't realizing the new Transit oil pans are 12 qts when the old ones were 6
Got caught not pulling the stick.
@acemobile9806 Holy crap. Three gallons!? That's almost as much as my 7.3L Diesel. Yep, not checking the stick got many of my lube techs in hot water.
@@ryanhoaglin9907 yessir, they made a running change at the end of '22 for the '23 & up but no TSB or nothing was issued to my knowledge. I dumped 6 in, pulled the stick & nothing, dumped in another & still nothing, knew something was wrong then. Looked in the owner's manual, sure enough there it was in black & white. I'm a contractor & notified the shop manager but they knew nothing of it & even had the nerve to question me until I took pics of the manual page & sent it. Funny thing is they had 1 at their main shop they were pulling the engine out of with only 8K miles, bet someone didn't fill it all the way.
The change only applies to the N/A 3.5 & not the turbo motors which is silly because the turbo needs it most. The oil pan is a huge rectangular block casting that looks like something off a drag boat, has absolutely no slope & takes forever to drain. I'm sure Ford did it partially to extend OCIs & give huge fleets like Amazon peace of mind. Old stupid UH still insists on changing oil at the old schedule & it comes out still looking almost like honey. I take that stuff home, filter it & make black diesel.
@@acemobile9806 Wow, good to know. Yeah, I would expect the turbo engines to have the big pan, not the N/A. I'm betting they did this because they know people don't check the oil between services. One reason I like BMW, they throw a light when they're one quart low on oil.
As a mechanic , i will say that these engines are pretty reliable. Neglect and timing chain jobs are usually what kills these engines and its why i pull them. Low nasty oil , or way overdue tensioners and guides eating pistons at the end game are majority of the problems i get. Personally i love the coyote engine.
These Coyote 5.0L motors are very oil heavy and require around 8 quarts on an oil change with a filter, so your oil scenario sounds very plausible. I was blown away how much oil these motors hold the first time I did the oil on my F150 myself. These motors are super durable and will last a long time if you take care of them. I have over 350,000+ miles on my 2013 super crew F150. It's one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.
A local dealer performed an oil change on my 2018 2.7L F150 about 4 years ago. They forgot to put oil in it. Luckily for me, it failed in the service bay rather quickly, before I got on the road. It was a PITA, but the dealer replaced the engine with a remanufactured unit.
Is there - or will there ever be - an engine on this channel that has failed for something other than an oil problem? I've watched dozens and they have all been oil-related. Take care of your engines people. The oil is the lifeblood.
Wonder how long before we see a siezed turbo V6 out of the 3rd generation tundra on the stand... hmmmmm
I'm surprised all the engine videos on YT by Toyota techs on the ttv6 have not been pulled. I know Toyota is cringing over the bad press
As a Toyota tech, all the ones I've seen are getting rebuilt with new short blocks. New heads and turbos too. Probably won't see one for a few years. Everything goes back to Toyota for warranty.
Really strange that they won't sell us complete engines or even just long blocks. Hopefully they can admit they screwed up someday.
@@jimmyaber5920 I was a Toyota master tech for years and this ain’t their first black eye. They generally get over their big screwups pretty quickly by taking care of the problems quickly. They aren’t the company that they used to be when I started with them in the 80s but when you compare how they handle their screwups to others in the industry they are still very good at fixing problems quickly.
I can not get over how much you resemble a young strapping Adam Sandler
How nice to see you hear the TROUBLES in the engine before you you even went the first 360° good job Eric 😊
@6:05 bad really bad, never ever make Mama unhappy.
I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I'm old enough to have figure that out.
😂😂
If momma’s not happy then nobody’s happy
@@dirtfarmer7472 happy wife, happy life :)
I bought a 2009 mustang GT with a 4.6L. At about 90000kms the oil changes have root beer sparkles in it. Everything sounded good. The root beer glitter stayed for about 50000kms and then disappeared. The motor has 250000kms on it now and is still excellent. The dealership had no idea what the glitter could be and of course they "couldn't see anything in the oil". There was plenty. Maybe it wasn't metallic. Maybe it was a plastic or a coating and not anything bad and once all the plating fell off it was done with.
Lol that pentastar crate reveal was hilarious 😂
What reveal??
Your 5.0 teardown made a great soundtrack to this evenings Olympics track and field.
That water gag was hilarious
Mustang owners are great! Their boneheadedness ensures there will always be plenty of work for mechanics like me!
I have to be very careful with my 1973 Mach One (351 Cleveland) and my 2022 Mach One, they are both squirrely as hell when they break loose. Think cars and coffee.
Same was true when fox body mustangs were new. Maybe that's why there are so many still around. The boneheadedness (good word by the way) created many a fox body to sit for years before finally getting sold then turned into a race car in the past few years.
@@TheBandit7613 I did a cobra IRS retrofit in my 86(wish I still had it😕). That balanced the car out so well I had to work really hard to breaks the tires loose. I couldn’t believe how good it handled after the swap.
@@kd7cwg did you have the Termi crossbrace on it? That brace was added to help quell wheelhop.
Funny. I see more mopars and LS's in here than I do coyotes. Must have something to do with their trailer trash owners.
That oil filter should have metal in it based on the failed bearings.
No metal, low oil
Oil was very clean - meaning that fresh oil was added to the engine.
12:13 this code is the factory that machined the block used for production traceability, usually they mark the month the day and the machine that made the block, the qr code is used for automation on the production line and for information on who produced that block.
I wonder how many of your viewers understood the Dan Hurd comment. Not something I would have expected from this channel for sure. I am a BC boy so I do know of Dan Hurd.
That joke panned out!
I’m from BC too, watched Dans’ video before this one 😂
That crank would get a hand polish, block would get a hone and send it for my own stuff and would last a long time. Mine has been beat on for over 2yrs and looked that bad or worse when i freshened it up. My engine came from a shop that swapped it out because Jiffy Lube changed the oil and did the ole double gasket on the oil filter, lasted till he did a 3rd gear pull and smelled oil and when he looked behind him it looked like a nascar engine let go. J/L came out installed another filter and oil but when it started it has an odd sounding chatter so they arranged a replacement.
Core cost me $250 and was complete intake to pan with the JY harness and ECM
When your about to remove the cam phasers, turn the chain tensioner 90° it will help slide chain off.
I have no idea why you are so excited 🤣
Loved Megan's cameo, and thanks as always for what you do - always the highlight of my weekend!
This engine was one of the cleanest I’ve seen on this channel. All it takes is running it low on oil just for a few seconds to make all that good maintenance worth nothing.
06:00 1996 Mazda Miata Brochure. Nice! I miss my 1994 Miata, what a fun car.
But can you find the chrysler 2.7 to tear down? That would actually be awesome.
great distance on the water flushing sir she looked genuinely shocked and another superb tear down thanks again
Really wondering where that big blob of anti seize came from and what it was intended to do? I watched Ray (Rainman) pull all the screws out of that crated engine, funny hearing him cry. LOL Great that you guys are helping that family !
The "scuse me" edit got me lmfao
I think the waterpump bin needs to go another level with a basketball hoop overhead, just to add to the fun. Great video as always Eric. Love your work
It looks like Jan 29, 2021 at 6:16AM
6:16am is too close to shift change...ain't no way anybody stamped that motor then, unless they were on OT, then I guess it's a possibility
@@williamstamper442 Thats all fully automated in the manufacturing line. No human hands had anything to do with stamping the date on that piece or even saw it take place.
Problem is this engine came out of an 11-14 Mustang.
A beautiful engine.
I find your videos endlessly fascinating! How long does a teardown typically take in real-time for you?
Really depends, this one was about 3.5 hours of filming. I know these engines well. On complex engines I haven’t done before it can take 8-10 hours to film
@@I_Do_CarsI’ve wondered that myself. I do dirt bikes and other small engines but never torn a truck or car engine down 🤙
@@I_Do_Cars Cool! I love watching mechanical teardown/rebuild videos like yours, and watch repair videos.

@@I_Do_Cars Eric, I grew up in Affton. You didn't film, you recorded.
I about spit my coffee out with the whole water squirting bit. Nicely done! As always, thoroughly enjoy your videos.
That porsche flat 6 lurking behind the coyote in some of the scenes needs to be inspected for IMS bearing wear. Just asking for a friend.
When that water came out i would have laughed harder if it was cylinder 1 and you got a face full unexpectedly
Many a teenage boy knows exactly what you are talking about
This is the best part of my Saturday evening, Thanks Eric!
When you said "walk these off" to the cam phasers, I was waiting for a shot of you walking off with them into the distance.
I was very dissatisfied in not seeing that. Almost hit the bell to turn it off.
honestly impressed how rekt it wasnt this time. hey glad you made a few dollars off it for a change. never stop the hilarious edits, theyre priceless and still only getting better.
That's a over revved motor, Factory is 7800 RPM Redline, aftermarket tuner probably gave it 10,000 and it spun the bearings..
Old Rodney strikes again! ❤ the teardown vids!!!
It's easy to distinguish between a 11/12 GEN1 5L, and a 13/14 GEN1 5L. 11/12 5L uses oil squirters, and 12MM head bolts. 13/14 doesn't use oil squirters, and uses 11MM head bolts. At least in Mustang. Not sure about GEN1 F150 5L.
The sloppy water pump throws/tosses are always funny
I'm so glad you posted content for the coyote.
@6:00 I almost wet myself laughing at that one!
@@GeoffSeeley 😂😂
I’m starting to add up some clues at only 12 minutes in. First the vet actuator that was replaced and second the witness mark on the timing guide 3rd was how easy the timing cover came off. Makes me think someone with limited experience was chasing codes to fix a rough or irrational idle and was focused on timing. The timing cover did not have that factory seal that requires blue and the mark on the guide was either caused during install or when prying the cover off! Let’s see if I’m correct or on the right track! Ok now at 37 minutes in after seeing the oil filter and the bearings I think I figured it out! Someone had the timing cover off and replaced an actuator and potentially the timing chain and guides they improperly re sealed the front cover and ran it low on oil or maybe fell victim to a quick lube forgetting to put oil in it. Either way ran it low on oil starving the bearings and thus losing oil pressure or greatly reducing oil pressure. I don’t think the bearings were gone enough to cause rod knock so I’m really leaning towards an oil change error and when realized they pulled the filter and found the metal. Then replaced filter and oil and tried to continue running it or the owner demanded new engine even after they replaced the filter and oil!
Eric, definitely need to put out an 'OLE BLUE' ! shirt ! Great video as always, Mrs's was great !
Best skit cut away ever!!! Well done sir. Well done!
I bought a 2012 core motor for $200. #8 piston skirt and cyl.wall scuffed. Cleaned up at .010. Thanks for the video.
Let's all hope that was water.... 🤣🤣🤣
Those 5.0 takes a lot of abuse
They really do. I’m a Chevy guy but I can respect any motor that can take as much neglect as an LS can. Like the Honda k series and the 2jz NA motor
@@bubbafett2328 gm 3800, 1uz, 5sfe and the various 90s toyota blocks, H series honda and J's can also take a beating. I've seen unopened J's running 800+ on a turbo almost bigger than the core of the engine and heaps of passes for years lmao.
Excellent Coyote 5.0 is evidence of GM Genius developing LS/LT with K.I.S.S. theory . Not only half as pricey, but in displacements to 7L.
FoMoCo's 2020 Godzilla got them back in the HP/Displacement, simplicity program. More use of it would be good for repower markets, tho.
I love the sound it makes when you loosen a bolt…

hilarious cameo
I think running out of oil is more common than most of us care to admit. For example, my wife has taken hers 2+ quarts (liters?) down twice. The car, a Honda CRV (90K miles), still runs fine, and doesn’t even burn any oil. Can’t complain about that! I have a BMW that burns about a quart every 5K miles (which is when I change it), and every 2500 miles if I drive it hard, but I understand that that is normal for BMWs. I can check the oil from the dashboard, so it’s not a hardship.
Amazing Cameo! Actual Laugh out Loud!
Omfg! That water shooting skit was hilarious! You provide education and comedy. I thank you for that
She's a gusher 😂 5:57
It's been a very long time since you torn down a CAT diesel engine
We're long overdue!
Nah, the people need a Detroit Diesel engine teardown. Fully dressed. Gotta give the old 2 stroke iron one chance...
If there is a next CAT engine it should be a 1160 or 3208T 🙃
I’ve been watching you since 2018 and haven’t watched for a while. I just knew that you’d find success! Congratulations. You seem like the kind of guy that you would want to have a beer with while tearing into an engine.
PO of my LX470 smoked the engine. Did an oil change. Put a new filter on, never added oil. Spun a bearing 4 blocks later.
Thats the funniest thing I have ever seen on this channel so far, the water, You have a great sense of humour Eric, Love It!!!
The dealership wouldn’t let me have any of the 2 that blew up in my truck. 😂 both of mine had torch heads and pistons.

Great to see Mrs I Do Cars again. Sad to see a motor in such good shape otherwise get wiped by an oil change place.

As someone who worked at ESSEX ENGINE Its cool to see the same sticker job I did (white sticker placed on right cam cover)
Love the water pump it's just hanging out trying to look cool 🙂

I heard you can save weight on those if you take the bearings out.
