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:

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 [email protected].   

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!
