RTV sealant is used only at joints with leak potential. Single links and phaser sprocket (dual sprocket) marks go toward the outside (exhaust side). Each crank is dynamic balanced to the Manley/Mahle reciprocating mass. However, when installed in a vehicle, cylinder head removal could prove impossible with studs. I … [Click here to read more...], Although I focus great attention on how a transmission is built, installation and proper adjustment after the unit is installed are just as important to durability and longevity. Here are the cam phasers/sprockets and secondary timing chains. L & R has opted for a stock replacement oil pump for this street Coyote. We teamed up with a host of manufacturers and L&R Engines to build us a Coyote engine for road racing duty on Project BOSS 302Revival. Note that the double link is on the left (intake) and the single link is on the right (exhaust). Although the Coyote appears complex on the surface it really is a simple engine to build and service. To get longevity and durability, a transmission must be properly … [Click here to read more...], Because the Modular V-8 has so many different applications, it is impossible to detail all the removal and installation specifics here. LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK … [Click here to read more...], The FE Ford engine was released into production in 1958. The next engine Tim Eichhorn and the crew at MPR built for me was a Coyote Modular Motor which made well over 1,000 horsepower- first with a supercharger and later swapped to a twin turbo setup. Starting with a single Sunnen rod heater Larkin built his own machine shop. While most know that Coyote 5.0 engines come from a 2011-current Mustang, they are also found in F150 trucks and can be purchased at a bargain. You have the option of upgrading your Coyote any way you wish: hotter cams, forced induction or nitrous, and more. Both parts BR3Z-6019-G (plus front main seal AT4Z-6701-A) and BR3Z-6881-M can be purchased for around $150. Stock hypereutectic pistons are marked in this fashion for proper installation. All components that came out of the engine during disassembly go back into the same engine. L & R Custom Engines leaves nothing to chance. The electronic torque wrench is positioned and the trigger pulled. If there’s a snag in the assembly process the problem is flagged, a meeting is called, and they find a fix. (215)-675-8485 L & R is installing a new Ford Performance Racing Parts BOSS M-6303-M50B steel crank in this Coyote, which is being dynamic balanced at this time along with new Eagle H-beam rods and Mahle forged and coated pistons. As these engines arrive at PAS and are uncrated, they are checked in via the bar code, and reassigned a PAS bar code that follows the engine all through production. You will notice that the Coyote engine utilizes RTV sealer at joints and seams where the oil pan meets the block and where cylinder heads and timing cover come together. Crankshaft endplay is checked and documented. Inside is MMR’s billet steel gears that are bulletproof. Never has this been more crucial than with Ford’s Modular V-8 because of the many variations produced since 1991. Ford has incorporated the windage tray and pan gasket into one convenient piece for the Coyote. The exhaust phasers have two sprockets each. Cams are then checked for freedom of rotation, but are not fully rotated because of valve-to-piston clearance issues. Rings are match gapped to each cylinder, and then installed on each piston. Mahle coated and forged pistons are assembled onto Eagle H-beam rods. Andre stresses the importance of generous amounts of assembly lube on the Coyote’s main and rod bearings and journals. You can copy and paste this link to share: https://www.diyford.com/how-to-build-ford-coyote-engines/. Don’t worry though, all the links are color coded and the motor doesn’t have to be degreed. The cam journal torque sequence is also critical (shown here) and must be followed to prevent cam distortion and engine damage. Assembled pistons are assigned to a specific cylinder. The seal is seated as shown. These low priced 5.0 engines can be found on eBay and Car-Part. At PAS, all components are thoroughly cleaned and prepared for reassembly as an Aluminator crate engine. MMR even has a nifty oil pickup stand that is designed specifically for ARP main studs and provides a perfect pickup height. If the take-out engine is in good shape, these F150 5.0s can handle around 500-horsepower with a power adder. The Ford Performance all-aluminum 2018-2020 5.0L Coyote crate engine is a modern 5.0L 32-valve DOHC V-8 that uses advanced features like Direct and Port Fuel Injection, Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT), high-flow cylinder heads, and heightened compression ratio to deliver 460 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm and 420 ft.-lb.+ of torque @ 4,600 rpm (with premium fuel).
