I Had To Buy ANOTHER Engine For My Not-So-Cheap SVT Cobra (Things are not great)

This car is kicking my ass but i'm far too stubborn to give up! Engine #3 is here! Will this be the engine that gets this car running to perfection? (not holding my breath lol)

[@joecatarino727]

Hey Chris, I’m leaning towards the supercharger assembly. Since you are using the S/C from the cursed engine, I would suggest you throw some dye into the oil so as to make it easier to determine where it is coming from if your new engine produces some smoke as well. Keep up the great videos.

[@mpe331lx]

Before you drop your blower assembly on the engine that's going in, I'd seperate it from the intake, check for oil puddling in the intake, pull the brick and clean it out. The oil around the intake ports was either from reversion, or was being sucked in through the pcv (which will puddle in the lower and brick)

45:47 looks like it was bored without a torque plate. JAMSI did a video showing the difference with red dykem. Those bores look oversized for the pistons. I wonder if it was “just honed” but went too far. Measure the pistons and bores with a micrometer to confirm clearance.

With heads off. Can try placing rubbing alcohol in the combustion chambers to test for valve leaks. Spark plugs in. Or Bring cylinder heads into dark room and look for light past valves. Can place alcohol or gasoline on top of pistons rotated half way to see if their not sealing. Check for cylinder wall taper or ridge at top. Shake valves to see if the guides are tapered.

"Fully rebuilt with all the trick parts...lost the receipts..." So that's the guy that Derek from Vice Grip Garage always jokes about.

Definitely through the piston rings

[@thefastmango6597]

Chris I’d seriously consider checking out that blower on the original motor. Maybe its leaking oil into the intake.

[@user-oi4in1cx1f]

Those valve seals are new, pull them now and see if they are still good. I bet you’re on the right track with suspecting other valve guides are bad. I mean is the only way oil can enter the system after the engine is tuned off. The oil around the manifold gaskets I would contribute to before you deleted the PCV, residual left over.

[@JASPACB750RR]

With all this engine removal work, you should get a tubular K member and put it in there. Doesn’t really help any for ease of install, but any future work is so much easier. Replacing engine mounts, exhaust manifolds/headers, it’s lighter, and less likely to gather dirt and crud on top of it and start rusting out like mine did and most tend to.

[@johnnydanger57]

Wrong hone grit, or cross hatch angle. Break in oil may have been synthetic. and possibly as you stated glazing from idling, but that's rare...

[@ShawnsterZR1]

The fact that you have oil pooling on top of the pistons leads me to believe it's coming in from the top end. Could be from the intake ports or could be leaking past the valve stem seals still. What you could try is to position the engine so the head is parallel to the ground, rotate the engine to where the intake valves are open, then flood the upper head with oil and watch the cylinder for leaks or seepage with your steerable scope. If that doesn't show anything, the seals are probable good and the oil is coming in via the intake ports. I'm leaning toward the valve stem seals though because all of the pistons had oil pooled on them. There would be at least a couple of cylinders with the intake valves closed and if the oil was coming in the intake ports, it wouldn't leak past the closed valves.

Im going to say ring issue or cylinder bore issue. Id measure those cylinders before taking it back to the machine shop. Have your own before and after numbers. If that machine shop messed up there should be no charge for additional work and you may want to think about another shop? Havent been following the build so not sure about specifics on that motor.

[@chrisross6848]

When you tear down the bottom end check the orientation of the piston rings of the ones with oil. Ring rotate around the piston naturally during there use. Maybe there might be a machining abnormality that is causing the gaps to line up allowing oil past the rings. (Just throughing ideas out there).

if it was rings or valve issue i would think the puddling would be isolated to that particular cylinder. since it's puddling in all cylinder i think the oil is coming through the intake. probably just needs a catch can

It would suck if it was something simple like oil leaking from or into the supercharger, or if the pvc valve was messed up and the supercharger sucked oil in from it. Could be oil stuck in the supercharger and just getting sucked into the engine a little at a time.

[@greghaub1571]

I dont do alot of this work anymore but I know there are only two places for oil to come from with this type of problem, especially after shutting down the crankcase ventilation. It is getting by the rings or the valve seals. New valve seals only leaves the rings, ouch. I find it really hard to believe a new set of ring and hone are alowing that much oil by. Good luck with the new engine, part out the one that is a demond.

[@deeolusanya9325]

[@jbp1981]

These cobras can be a money PIT these days. Buying a "cheap" one doesn't leave enough meat on the bone for any potential issues when the price between the cheapest one on earth and a known good one is only about $10-15k apart. I'm down this rabbit hole now with one that needed a transmission. A trans, engine and a partial IRS rebuild later, I'm finally back on the road.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

ha, i feel that

[@brendangustafson7389]

My built 4.6 2v burned oil the same way. Started about 500-600 miles. Had Patriot heads on it that the machine shop vacuum checked before i assembled and were sealing. Those heads were known for guide issues. Seals hold up for about 500 miles but get trashed because the tolerance on the guides lets the valves wear them out. New guides and a few new valves and it’s been kicking for 30k miles. Had the motor out and apart once before that thinking same thing as you it was the oil rings. Rings looked fine. Did a hone and fresh rings and sure enough still drinking oil. Pulled the intake after running oil was pooled on top of the valve like you showed in a previous video. Just my 2 cents

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Interesting. Thanks for commenting!

[@shane-222]

45:04 oil on the piston and smoking on startup is valve stem. Smoking on hard acceleration is rings. You could have problems with both.

[@Sperggy]

ring wash & maybe a cracked ring land. If you're running an aggressive single disc clutch you may want to throw a dial indicator on & check crank end play. It can cause enough walk to allow piston slap & then the rings wash. usually it too heavy an oil for startup & you get low RPM det.. The one bad cylinder looks scorched, if thats the one with the bad piston it can basically harden the cylinder wall in spots & cause the ring to never seat properly. think like tool hard brittle & not what it should be. If you take it to a legit engine shop they have a digital device that scans the cylinder walls to make sure it can take a ring seat. all the ford 4 valves can crack inside between the cylinders. ford likes to put the engine mounts directly on the the cylinder & it tries to twist the block so 8 & 1 pistons slap & crack the top ring land.(way worse in the coyote aluminum, but still in the 04 years) worse comes to worse just punch it over & go to 10-10.5 to 1 with lower boost on E85. I'd pull it all apart & have the block mag checked for cracks, punch it over enough to take out the bad wall, deck the block & heads, oem mtr mounts & multi disc clutch, go 10-10.5 to 1 & run lower boost. love the channel, just giving my thoughts, the shop looks great & any body worth their salt would love to have any type of life. you could always coyote swap that thang & twin turbo it... just saying. have a great one

My stroked mach1 had dropped a sleeve. 5.3 L Motor would smoke then not smoke. Would then smoke on acceleration. Had it rebuilt with the ford performance cast iron block. All forged internals. Went with diamond custom pistons. 1/10000 in the whole. Engine does not burn any oil. I use Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w 30. My engine builder asked me if I plan on boosting it. I told him no. He went with rings for a NA motor.

[@skwiat]

Used engines these days are a crap shoot with terrible odds. The eBay LS7 engine you put in the red C6 Z06 which I purchased from you was also a dud. Issues with both the heads and the bottom end which took some time to show up. That car now has a fresh LS7 from GM with a 3 year/100k mile warranty and is finally running right.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Was running perfect when I sold it to you. Car absolutely ripped. Sorry it had some issues down the road. Just the way it goes in this sport sometimes. Ask me how I know lol. Glad it's running well now 🤙🤙. Didnt know GM still made complete LS7s so thats a bonus. Thanks for watching

[@galvinSPORTS911]

No. Race car engines in general are a crap shoot. Built, stock, new, or not. You can’t possibly put blame on someone else or an idea without being absolutely positive that something was installed or maintained incorrectly. You can have a brand new motor shit the bed over something minor like a vaccum leak. Education, and persistence are the name of the game in that scenario.

[@landonphillips7013]

Needs a re-hone and new rings. Cylinder walls are washed that's why there is oil on the piston. Probably the prolonged idling without cylinder pressure to seat the rings. Excess oil gets into the cross hatching and is burned in which glazes it over, also not good for tuning and increases odds of detonation. Sucks because sometimes it takes an idling engine to make sure everything is operating correctly. If the compression ratio is different from that other motor and you need a retune take the car to the dyno and have it broken in on the dyno with the new engine. It doesn't just need revs it needs cylinder pressure with load getting behind the rings to push it outward against the hatching.

[@Moore257]

I’d recommend pulling the pistons and looking the rings they may have been installed incorrectly. Also I’d recommend a catch can

[@tomkjr1]

Great video. Sorry for all your troubles with the Cobra, but it makes for good content! Looks like you got a super deal on that rebuilt engine, good luck with it. I went through a long frustrating engine rebuild experience too so I understand your anxiety for the project.

[@stellarreach9093]

I would check the heads, mainly the valves and guides. My 96 cobra has an issue where in high vacuum conditions (downshifting into high rpms), oil would be pulled past the valve seals and into the combustion chamber. Occasionally will burn oil on cold starts and WOT pulls, but never at idle or when cruising like yours. Our cars are very different from each other but maybe your issue could be related to mine. Love the content btw, I really tried to save money for an 03 but 30k+ in todays market is a little too much for me at the moment. Settled for a 96 and have been in love ever since. Hopefully theres nothing serious going on with the original engine, cant wait to hear that thing roar again!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

@@bowlinglefty my thoughts as well. Thanks!

[@coltengottschalk1049]

Coming up through the rings is my bet. If it comes up through one cylinder it is possible the blower can distribute it to others my experience wasn’t tings but a 1/4 hole in a piston. Pushed oil up and into the blower and it distributed it to the other cylinders. Could just have an issue with one cylinder/piston

[@rudy6223]

Another great video Chris! I do have to say that with pulling the motor yet again, I’m surprised you didn’t swap the k-member and control arms and go tubular. I know financially you’re in deep, but for a few hundred bucks you could have done the swap and saved some decent weight off the front of the car. Really enjoying the build though.

I pulled on the rod caps laying under with the k member loose.. found on the 3rd rod journal the machine shop had welder and reground that journal an the weld was jagged and sharp.. eating the bearing. I have only jack stands an am dreading pulling it all back out to change the crank. If you haven't yet man check the rod caps. Those rod caps bolts are torque to 63lbs if I remember right.
