Coyote Engine Teardown, Part 3

I decided to tear the engine down further, not trusting what I was seeing in the cylinder bores.  The plan is that if the bores need only honing, I may just replace the rings and have the block honed & surfaced.  If the bores need more than honing, I will consider new forged pistons and rods.

Coyote Engine Teardown, Part 2

The Coyote engine cylinder walls weren't as good as I had hoped.  This means a further tear down.  Pictures of each cylinder wall:

Coyote Engine Teardown, Part 1

I decided to tear down the Coyote and rebuild it while the car chassis is in Oregon. 


Here's the engine with the intake and injectors removed.

After Blasting

I was really unhappy with the rattle-can undercoating applied by the previous owner, in an effort probably to hide some of his handiwork.  It's all gone now.


Note the rear corner issues.

At the Blaster

Well, part of my car returned.  The trip to the blaster took two full months, from May 12 to July 10th or so.  I'm told the blasting operator had surgery and was unable to finish the car.  

Stay tuned, I have about five more posts being readied to release in the next few days!


Looks pretty good, but needs more blasting.
