I have found myself tasked with building a coyote from a 2016 5.0 that recently didn't like boost or winter gas. Car is procharged and belongs to @StormTrooperST Car was running fine and made loads of power. As soon as they switched to winter gas we lost cylinder 8. The factory ring gaps are way too tight. The gap on the compression rings were 0.016. For boost thats no bueno. There was no damage to cylinders or block. This will be a stock bore motor. Cylinders are getting honed only. Motor was removed and now the fun begins. MMR supplied all the forged parts. Motor is getting Manley forged pistons and rods, MMR billet oil and timing gear, all long block bolt are ARP, and MMR upgraded timing chains. Heads will remain stock. Cylinder 8 valves will be replaced and chamber polished. I'm dropping the rotating assembly off tomorrow to be balanced with the new rods/pistons. We are shooting for 900 whp. I will keep you all updated as the build progresses.
