I’m on my second new edge Mustang GT with the 4.6L 2V. Not a power monster but they have been such good engines to me. I’ve driven them both hours and hours non stop higher RPM range and they never skipped a beat. The only caution with a 4.6L that’s almost two decades old now is the timing chain guides get worn and the tensioners bust through them. If you take the oil cap off running and here the chain slapping it’s time to pull the cover before it takes the motor down.

Both my sons work for Ford and they see lack of quality everyday,some of the things they say are sad,Its quantity over quality everyday!People pay alot of money for quantity built crap.

Exact same thing happened to my 2013 F150 5 L motor. 101 thousand miles and check engine came out with PO four misfire. Took it to two different shops and eventually replace the engine as the trucks in great shape otherwise. Just couldn’t stomach spending $75,000 on a new pick up. Thank you so much for this information. I searched the Internet extensively last year and just couldn’t find information like this. Long time subscriber and will always watch your videos.

@RareDivers Ай бұрын

My 2013 F-150 developed the same compression loss symptoms last spring. Research led me to learn about this exact issue. Symptoms crop up around 100,00 miles. I was at 105,000 when the misfires finally tripped the check engine light. (Idle was extremely rough since I bought the vehicle 4 years prior). One shop wanted to engine swap for $14,000, which I thought was a rip off. Another shop said they could tear it apart, send off to machine the heads and re-assemble with proper valves for just less than half that. Elected to do that, and it turned out extremely well. Never was a recall or announcement made about this problem from Ford, as it affects all 2011-2013 truck Coyotes engine, but forum posts confirm this affects 2014 models too. Like someone else in the comments said, these are ticking time bombs sadly.

Ford may put the issue in a TSB for service techs,but don't look for any news release to the public! Add in the mileage when things crop up, and you see why Ford just ignores the issue! It's no longer a warranty repair at 100K unless you have an extended warranty! At this point, the dealer personnel try to blame it on your maintenance and cry not covered under warranty. Now they hope you go for a cash repair! Cha-Ching!

People are so dramatic. All engines will have a “common” failure point. Being something that occurs at a higher percentage rate. Thanks to the internet you have a few guys post on KZfaq or a forum and act like the engine is a “ticking time bomb”. Not at all. This is a fantastic engine. This failure is rare. I saw it twice when I was a dealer tech and the fleet I work for now has a few hundred of these engine and we haven’t had this happen ever. We literally had never done a base engine repair on any Coyote engine until the phaser issue popped up on the newer trucks. Even still, though not minor, that is the only failures we have seen on any of them. By the way, I can search all that and run these reports through our fleet management software. As a side note. KZfaq claims the 10R transmissions are garbage. All we have had done is software updates. These are all work trucks too. Often pulling trailers and almost always carrying cargo.

Former Ford tech, moved into service management, dived for the hills just as fuel injection was coming on but have never been able to chase the gearhead outta me, lol! Work IT now, it's ironic that all of my new skills are transferable too. Had a '13 150, 5.0. cyl 6 started missing intermittently around 100,000, put up with it until 200,000, then it became a daily occurrence... low, rough idle, check wallet light on at every stop. Found cyl 6 had 90# compression, grrrr. Put a tuner on it to raise the idle speed, Torque to kill the check engine light often, and drove it another 100,000 miles. Down a little on power, but I spend most of my time on the highway anyway and it was still just doing it's job. the 5.0 has problems just like any other engine, but this one wasn't giving in. Just traded it for a '24 F150 XLT 5.0. Looking for another 300,000... Thanks for posting, you've saved me a ton of aggravation over the years, and I'm sure for many others too!

Machine shop thing is no joke. Few and far between for sure. We had 2 local ones near us (30 mile radius). One was in business for a long time, their lead guy ended up buying the business about 10 years ago from the original owner and now just closed this year and retired. The other shop is still open. He used to be one of the lead machinists for the other shop and went solo a couple years before the other place sold to their other employee. He's now a one or two man operation with the old wise guy from the place that closed helping him part time setting up racing engines.

Yeah, its becoming impossible to operate one anymore. Where's the business? Shops just quote used or reman engines now for anything because techs are overworked as it is. The labor $ isn't worth it, so that just leaves DIY project people or race car guys which not every area has enough of to feed a shop. And that's not even getting into the problem of all the knowledgeable people retiring and taking their secrets to the grave, lol.

While the 5.0 is actually pretty good overall, the main issue is people just like to bandwagon whatever they purchased and justify it to anyone who will listen. A lot of times its old people or fudds who insist that "Turbo engines aren't reliable" just because its unfamiliar to them. They usually follow on Facebook just to see the ecoboost issues so they can talk smack on their friends that have one. That's why Brian gets so much hate when he talks about coyote issues, it shatters the reality that these people "chose correctly".

Better mpg, better safety, less emissions, more features, and more power from newer models pretty much left the older cars in dust.

This makes the 2nd valve issue I've heard of with Ford's valve supplier. The Broncos had bad valves also a few years ago.

Would really enjoy seeing all of the issues with each version of the 5.0. Just courious if the plasma bore liner will make the list of issues.

I recently fixed one of these in a 2013 with only 63K miles! Took off the heads and had a machine shop fix them and they could not believe the truck was so low mileage.

Bad heat treat on the valves, supplier level issue.

My 2013 coyote blew up after a head gasket job, havent torn it down yet, so we'll check for that when we tear it down

Great video and thanks! Unfortunately, I have a 2013 F150 with a 5.0L Coyote engine 🥴. It is running well so far, but good to know if it starts to have a miss... Bummer...

@user-ut6ji8my2h Ай бұрын

Brian is as good as it gets if you own an F150. My 2004 5.4 Runs like a swiss watch because of him. 170k miles. I did a complete timing job at 153k miles preemptively after watching his 4 part series. I went even further and replaced everything up front + the oil pump while I was in there, plus all the roller followers, lash adjusters, and cam solenoids. Why Ford is having issues with valves is beyond me, as this technology has been well known for a very long time. Maybe they decided to go import? I have never run into a " sunken valve " issue in my life and I am 77 years old.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Got the Reman engine in for 10K Cdn. I thought it was maybe a dealership making profit thing, but wow do I feel batter after seeing this. Thank you for the best FORD content literally ever made. Wow, video of the year for me, really hits hard

@mysock351C Ай бұрын

If you left it like that it would eventually end up burning a valve. It’s possible to fix the heads yourself, but once a dealer and machinist get involved it gets expensive.

Thanks for the information about the 5.0 coyote engines. How about information regarding 2011-2014 Duratec/Cyclone 3.7 V6 Engines?

Thank you FordTechMakuloco for sharing your source of knowledge and experience for these engines. In your opinion, which year F150 with the 5.0 V8 has the fewest problems overall? Thank you very much, appreciate your help

On the other hand, I have 2012 F150 5.0 with 215000 miles. Nock wood, no issues except the famous tic wich happens randomly since about 60K miles, but Ford say its normal. There even is a TSB about it. But thanks for the video, alway learning.

@jamram9924 Ай бұрын

This happens to vehicle manufacturers with their secondary parts suppliers. GM had the issue of collapsed lifters, although no recall was issued, a TSB was published.

I have a 2.7 T...2018 MKX with the first gen engine that doesnt have the PORT injection. What w 11:27 ould be 11:27 good practices i could do to help slow down the carbon build up of these engines. Thank you for your great videos.

@DDescalchuk57 Ай бұрын

We got one in the shop that has a bad intake valve on cylinder 8 customer opted to do a cylinder head. Waiting on the head from ford. Was a pretty easy diag, relative compression test showed it was down . Then leakage test showed intake valve leaking into the intake

@Bill_CBR Ай бұрын

I wonder if you could get an inspection camera/scope down inside via the sparkplug hole with a mirror attachment and see the face of the valves enough to see if they had that issue?

@ShersGarage Ай бұрын

I have seen that issue few times. My uncle had that happen in his truck around 180k. What a shame! Those are great trucks! I drive a second gen coyote, aside from intake runner problem, there are not many known issues.

@pauljanssen7594 Ай бұрын

Yep there are two engines that have this intake valve problem I still remember the Ford 400 engine with bad valve springs.

@user-vp7lu7be2n Ай бұрын

At least a set of valve springs on a 400 would be relatively simple to replace!

I would love to see the various differences in the Coyote generations. As well as the differences (if any) between Mustang and F150 Coyotes

@kylebeach2316 Ай бұрын

The mustang coyote 5.0 is way different then the f150s 5.0. The mustang 5.0 has a slightly higher compression, different head design, the whole front plate of the engine is different as well. While the f150 is drastically held back with power by lower compression different heads and front plate. That's why the mustang 5.0 can rev higher then the f150. If you want too rev too 8500 rpms you might as well just pull the engine out of a wrecked mustang and swap it into the f150.

@jowens1126 14 күн бұрын

I had this exact same problem on my 2013 f150. Same cylinder valves were eroded, compression dropped significantly and was having misfires at idle, no issue under load. 145k miles. I just had the engine replaced for $8k. It was worth it to me because the truck was in perfect condition otherwise. im now 60k miles into the replacement engine with no issues..
