Yeah, a lot. Maybe I shouldn't threadjack, and go start another post. But I am willing to tease you with a couple of riddles:
1. Why do Coyote's start ticking after their first oil change?
2. Why do Coyote's running under Factory Ford rev-limited ECU's start ticking?
3. Why do Coyote's spin rod bearings?
4. How long does it take to spin a rod bearing before your crank sees permanent wear?
5. How long can a rod bearing spin in the rod before it goes from a tick to a knock?
6. Who is the idiot that invented split cap rod end forgings?
7. What is the oil path in a Coyote, and who thinks the heads need oil before the crankshaft?
Lastly:
8. How many different 1/2 RPM noises can come from a DOHC engine with 32 valves, rockers, and cam lobes?
9. Why does Ford's TSB consider all typewriter tick noises to be from the same root cause?
Answer these questions, and you will know what I had to think about while I replaced my Gen 1 Coyote crankshaft.
