How A 1600HP Coyote V8 Engine Is Made | Behind The Scenes At FFRE

In todays video we bring you a first look behind the scenes on how a 1600hp Coyote engine is made from start to finish. Spanish version: • Cómo Se Arma Un Motor ...
The process starts with a brand new factory Ford Coyote short block. The engine is inspected and then moved down the production line into the CNC machine. The bore process is then started, It gets rough bored. The CNC machine then gets the finish boring bar in to get the block sleeves to the right size. The next step is the circle interpolate the block for the flange. Final step is now to chamfer the block, deburring, and sleeves will get sized and picked out then installed, Honing, and decking process.

What is the benefit in adding the sleeve as apposed to just use the block?

[@braveheart4lif31]

They aren't 'adding' sleeves, they are removing the factory sleeves and installing new aftermarket sleeves. Factory sleeves have a much lower tolerance for handling boost. Aftermarket sleeves can handle more psi, for longer durations. This is very common with any aluminum blocks, whether its GT-R's, LS's, Coyote's, etc.

[@jasonme3557]

Your gonna get mixed results. I've had a 1000whp f150 for the past 2 yrs with my built motor that I did not sleeve. built it during covid and I had MPR just do the machine work and I assembled it. ( boostline rods and Mahle pistons) a brand new block from ford is only 800 bucks.. anyway I was told to keep it under 1100whp and it should live.

[@TML34]

@@malloymotorsports780 f150 🤣🤣 you’re crazy.

[@farmer3242]

What keeps the sleeves tight in there? They just slid in.

[@satanaz]

thermal contraction of the block before installing the sleeves they heat the block to a higher temperature than its operating temperature. When the block heats up, it expands, making the bore bigger, which enables them to slide the sleeves in place. After the block cools down, it shrinks, tightening around the sleeves. The block will never get up to a temperature high enough during its normal life to expand enough for the sleeves to become loose again, so once they are installed, they are not going anywhere...

[@farmer3242]

@@satanaz awesome thanks

[@williamrose7184]

I’m a little confused because heat causes stuff to expand and cooling it causes it to contract. I watched where they would cool the sleeves down and then put it into the motor and when it heats back up it will never move specially the motor heating up cause that motor to expand and stay in even tighter.

[@satanaz]

@@williamrose7184 cooling the sleeve will make it shrink, so it also works; when the sleeve gets back to room temperature, it expands/gets bigger, and it will press against the block. If you have an aluminium block and a steel sleeve, then it will not get a tighter fit as the engine heats up during operational conditions - that is because the aluminium has a higher coeficient of expansion than steel, meaning that the bore in the block gets bigger faster than the outer diameter of the sleeve, but they take that into account when designing the diameters of both parts, to make sure that they never become loose. If both sleeve and block are steel, then they will expand/contract at the same rate if they are both in at the same temperature. BUT usually the sleeve works at a slightly higher temperature than the block, because it is in direct contact with the combustion gasses, whereas the block is usually being cooled by coolant, so the sleeves will probably expand faster than the block anyway, just because they are usually hotter.

The replacement is boost. I bet if you ran no boost in this engine it would make slightly less power than a stock unit. When cracking 30+psi up it, plenty of power is to be made

Oil squirter block off plates? You'd think leaving them there would be better

They're supplied with oil straight from the mains - they're running 4-digit HP, that's a lot of force pushing down on the crankshaft, they want to keep as much oil pressure as they can to support it. The primary benefit of piston oil squirters is for long duration running to keep the pistons cool. Not really a problem making a 1/4 mile pass.

Do you understand that *ALL* factory aluminum blocks need sleeves over ~1000HP or so(call it "~125HP per cylinder"; a Honda K-series I4 will need sleeves over ~500HP for example)? You have to be living under a rock to not be aware of aluminum LSs(& LTs) and Gen 3 Hemis needing sleeved just like Coyotes. I mean, do you actually think that there's mass production OEMs out there selling 2000HP capable blocks *without any work* from the factory?
