Ford Aluminator engine teardown with Justin Pawlak | Corpus Christi | McGraw Ford
The Ford Aluminator engine, a high-performance crate engine from Ford Performance Parts, is the focus of an insightful teardown led by Doug from Ford Performance Parts and Justin Pawlak, a Formula D sensation. This engine, known for its robust build and reliability, has been put through rigorous use, participating in eighteen events, including eight rounds of competition and ten demos and exhibitions. The teardown aims to reveal the durability and performance of the Aluminator engine, which has been boosted beyond its natural aspiration to endure higher stress levels. The session is conducted by Jimmy, a seasoned prototype engine technician well-versed with the Coyote engines, highlighting the engine's capabilities and resilience after extensive use.
The Ford Aluminator engine stands out for its remarkable features and engineering excellence. Starting as a naturally aspirated engine, it has been enhanced with a supercharger, significantly increasing its horsepower output. The engine boasts forged internals, including a forged steel crankshaft, iron main caps with four bolts and side bolts, and a deep skirt block, contributing to its robustness. The use of aftermarket Manley rods with ARP bolts and forged Mahle pistons further enhances its durability. Despite the extensive use and high RPMs, the engine's components, such as the bearings and cylinder walls, remain in excellent condition, showcasing its exceptional build quality. The teardown also reveals the use of a standard oil pump with billet gears developed for the Cobra Jet program, ensuring efficient oil circulation and reliability.
