Shelby GT350 5.2L Engine Teardown - What went Wrong?

[@infinitehoodedgaming]

I really would love to see a 5.2 build with Jordan. It's always fun to watch a pro work.

[@Prochargedbeast]

Hell yeah that’s why I went with Jordan over anyone else cause he’s a perfectionist.

[@Coyote9smilespergallon]

I built my entire 2010 5.4 by following Andrew but mostly Jordan and their build videos!! AWESOME!! He literally taught me how to set the play in my crank lash, I used the Molnar Rods Diamond pistons accufab tensioner and chains boundary gear ARP bottom side and head bolts cam gear bolts washers etc but I did my own heads! That’s where I went wrong but I was out of money! If your thinking of building your own go back in Andrew’s archive and follows him and Jordan!

[@Tyee2]

Jordan is one hell of an engine builder, best in the business imo.

[@Alex-cj8hh]

Can Modular headshop do more tear down builds on their channel or you film them for them? these are enjoyable.

[@Prochargedbeast]

Let’s do this!

[@GtFrank_5.0]

Sorry to hear man, hope you come back stronger than ever

[@craigmcleod5032]

Jordan definitely has vast knowledge of that kind of work . Louis has a great support group to build a better BEAST!

[@dailylife3975]

If I ever had a motor built Jordan would be the guy I would go to I love the way he builds his Motors so meticulous

[@800R]

Hopefully you sleeve it and keep it a flat plane crank with lower compression if your going with boost. You need the flateplane crank sound.

[@Prochargedbeast]

Yes sir! I chose to sleeve it and lower the compression and I kept the flat plane crank.

[@brandongardner9829]

That young man really knows his stuff

[@DerekBaranProductions]

So, what was the reason Lewis was on 93? I know he was running E85 all the times I saw the car!

[@Prochargedbeast]

We were out of e85 in Daytona so I filled it up on 93 till it got back in stock.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

@@Prochargedbeast oh damnnnnn that frickin sucks man… Daytona area runs oht of E like that!?

You'll have it back and running better then before

[@humbertocoria3329]

Great Video. Great team of experts. MHS looks like htey know what they doing. And no theres not much videos on teardown on this particular videos. I baught a gt350 from auction and came with a bad engine, after doing research i end up buying a new long brock from ford on my dime with discount help from a friend at ford. She’s running strong now. Good luck on the new build motor. I would keep it N/A. 👍

[@tomkjr1]

Great video...I really enjoyed the tear down. Can't wait to see what Louis decides to do next!

[@JBWHITEGT]

Looking forward to the build. I know who im gonna let build my 5.0 in then future.

[@smcsmc4209]

Oh man sorry to see that. I met you in Florida a few months ago at cars and coffee and boy you have a beautiful car.

[@robertwhitey6621]

Have you tried a heat gun on the back pulleys to expand it a bit, don’t need to get much over 225-240 degrees to expand the back 2 pulleys enough to remove the front press fit pulley.

[@2vgod460]

K1, weisco combo? Maybe

[@paulhudgins5120]

Really want to see this build by jordan, sucks for Louis and the boosted gen.1 Voodoo, too much boost.

[@Prochargedbeast]

It’s all good I’m very happy this happened, I’ve been wanting to pull the engine and have it built for awhile now and now I get to turn it up to 1200+hp. Hell yeah!

[@rggt6225]

Love seeing Jordan work.💯💯💯💯

[@marklowe7431]

MHS would be the perfect place to bring in Barras from Australia. Some of these beasts making 2000hp on the street now.

[@lakerdude42]

So from a 2019 gt350 owner who is on the fence about boosting. Am I presumably safer since I have the newest gen engine ? Sucks to see it but I'm sure he'll build it back better.

[@jamespurvis8880]

The dipstick bent was pretty funny. I have 2v out of a 2003 explorer was thinking about doing coyote rods and decent forged pistons for a turbo application say 700 crank hp on pump gas. It has a set of Cushman stage 2 cams in it as well. I got a 306 pushrod motor now in a 90 Foxbody but always wanted a street turbo combo.

[@commycomentor9695]

How much timing and boost??

[@ericchacone3876]

I noticed some bearing wear , this is just like e92 m3 s65 v8

[@TheNORegretShow]

I am not even gonna lie. I would not even know where to begin looking at an engine teardown. I will leave this to the professionals and pay them to do it for me.

[@JohnH46307]

Love seeing this content. I had a built 5.4 2v with tfs 38cc heads and mhs did a great job on porting and polishing them. Degreed the cams and made a shit ton of power. Had a D1 procharger on e85. I miss that car. Going to pick up a 15+ gt soon. Lol

[@CT-pc3rh]

Jordan is awesome. Great guy. Nice video Andrew.

[@Jackslade84]

So what octane should u use 🤔

[@JohnnyGo243]

Crazy what a fuel system and e85 can do for a boosted setup 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@w.branch1096]

I pray I never hurt my 5.8 but if something ever happens, I'd love Jordan to build it 🍻

[@Twentyfoursilver]

Go with a sleeved block and quality parts for more smiles

[@tahoemk1685]

cracked block resulted in hydro locked simple as that. Cheap as aluminum blocks no wonder

[@craigc9181]

How much boost where you running?

Great content! My 2017 has 26k on it and I’d like to do something with it. 👍👍

[@justinh6120]

There has been known issues with the gen 1 5.2 engine blowing gaskets because lack of material in cylinder 4/8. Supposedly, it was fixed in the gen 2 cast. I don't think it was detonation by the looks of the pistons. i'd say it was the block crack/head gasket that caused this damage just due to the amount of power being made and cylinder pressures.

[@shanefowler9443]

That's why I keep my 2016 technology package gt350 with 30k miles on her stock and change the oil every 3-4k miles. Shes running great

[@timwebster6496]

So how much would a gen 3 block run someone?

[@Prochargedbeast]

Sleeved gen3 block is 3k

[@michaelkennedy2528]

Sr. Jordan doing a necropsy on the beast.

[@scottieray]

The flat plane is already high-strung in stock form. Power adders is not what the flat plane can take. Ford chose to go back to cross plane for the GT500 for a reason. Probably costs as much as anything.

[@jeffklonowski6816]

I know right. Even a few of the gt500 engines have popped

[@marcog6470]

@@jeffklonowski6816Naa, unless 1400-1500hp is were things get sketchy with the gt500, other than that the predator is built for pressure.

[@mathewryan466]

I have a question- did you say that this combination of driving on a cold night, with 93 octane fuel in the tank (along with being boosted), were conditions likely to have caused this engine failure? What?? 1- 91+ octane is required 2- What's wrong with driving on a cold night, so long as the engine is sufficiently warmed (at operating temperature) when you start doing pulls and exceeding 4,000 RPM?? Am I missing something?

[@MustangLifestyleTV]

More boost (from cooler denser air) + less octane (he should have been running e85) + high rpm high speed pulls = detonation.

[@mathewryan466]

@@MustangLifestyleTV oh, so the octane should have been much higher? I see..

[@trentmcelroy2456]

Truly do not understand why folks buy these to supercharge them… this motor was not designed for that. You’re spending 2x what you could for a 5.0 and getting a lesser motor for what your intentions are with it. Ya ever wonder why the GT500 is not a flat plane and doesn’t rev to 8200rpm… this car is the perfect NA machine with a suspension to match

[@coltoncaskey5781]

That just simply isn’t true. The owner himself has admitted this was user error. He was using 93 fuel on a cold night street racing, at that boost/power level, he got exactly what he was asking for. People get the gt350 and supercharge it because 8250 rpm’s and lots of power is addicting!

[@jhempsrt4]

A lot of people just don't understand the shortcomings of a flat plane v8.

[@AntMan351]

@@coltoncaskey5781 so would it be better to use E85?

personally if i was gonna get a gt350 i wouldnt touch the engine. i like it for what it is. i guess some people just always want more though

[@billjames3030]

Why buy a GT350 when there's 5.0 cars running 9's all motor like Steeda ? I got a 2020 PP1 and raced a GT350 from a roll and he could not pull half a car length on me. 40-150 mph race....

So basically the tune was not calibrated to handle conditional overboost? Whoever tuned it didnt put in limits or failsafe values? Real Nice.

How much is a voodoo block ?

Like 2k from ford performance but they said it’s a 5.2l “ coyote “ not voodoo for some reason

[@avocado9763]

Hi Jordan, would you buy a gt350, a shelby gt500 or just keep it simple and get a mustang gt ? The 350 has had a lot of engine problems. The shelby gt 500 seems better with less engine issues. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[@lhv8]

You guys rock

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

With the money spent on these cars you would think e85 only for 14 psi.93 pump I would only run 10psi max don’t lower compression get enough octane or back down the boost if you don’t have the octane

9:53 LOOK AT THE SMALL LIFT SURFACES OF THE CAM LOBES THEN A FLIMSY CHAIN UNDER ALL THAT SPRING LOADING OF ALL THOSE VALVES , TO ME THIS IS WAY UNDER DESIGNED, TAKE A LOOK AT A TOYOTA ENGINE IT HAS DOUBLE THE SURFACE CAM LOBE TO VALVE AREA, THEN A HEFTY WIDE NOTCHED BELT THAT WONT STRETCH AND HAS LESS CENTRIFUGAL MASS THEN A CHAIN AT 8K RPM, EXAMPLE Toyota 1UZ FE V8, 2UZ-FE , 3UZ-FE, IT WONT COST MORE TO HAVE A MORE ROBUST VALVE TRAIN SYSTEM, KEEP THE OIL PAN METAL TO COOL THE OIL BETTER WITH FINS, DONT USE A PLASTIC OIL PAN IT RETAINS THE HEAT

You may as well start looking for a flooded eighteen or newer flooded gt . That way you and lewis can both have a win.

[@derekdyer3929]

Correct me if I am wrong. But wouldn't it be best to spend the extra money and add meth/water injection when adding boost to high compression engines. Also wouldn't good heads make a huge improvement. And just as I am typing this at the end you answered my assumption. Drop some compression. Wish these guys would learn, or at least ones building make some suggestions to owners.
