    I have a crankshaft that was damaged by my stock timing gear in a 2011 Mustang GT when the keyway blew out. If I send a picture, do you mind letting me know if you would recommend using your billet timing gear on that crankshaft or if I need to replace it? Thank you!

    Coyote Crank Timing Sprocket Failure

    I've found sprockets that have exploded and caused the engine to need a total rebuild, but I haven't had much luck finding any where there's a damaged crank but the rest of the drivetrain is still intact. It's a pretty legitimate concern that I might not get the position quite right. I'd guess...

    Coyote Crank Timing Sprocket Failure

    I'd guess that I've probably done between 15-20 launches with the car over its lifetime, with probably half of those coming from a roll. I can't speak for the previous owner. That does make the most sense of anything as to what could've been the cause though. As of now I think that my plan is...

    I feel like I can say pretty confidently that it wasn't. I bought it in 2015 with 26,000 miles, and from everything that I can tell I've been the first to really break into it at all. The only evidence I've found of anything being touched on it prior to buying it is the spray painted red intake...

    Coyote Crank Timing Sprocket Failure

    Honestly, I would have ordered the billet replacement the minute that I saw that the stock part failed had the crankshaft not been damaged. Now I'm wondering if doing so would just be throwing good money after bad and it'll fail either way unless I replace the crankshaft, if that makes sense.

    Coyote Crank Timing Sprocket Failure

    I didn't word that very well. I don't have .002" of slip between the new sprocket and the crank. The damaged portion of the crank is .002" smaller than the undamaged portion. The Ford Performance timing kit actually just includes another powdered metal sprocket. I just have the stock sprocket...

    Coyote Crank Timing Sprocket Failure

    Hi All, I haven't seen a lot of information anywhere about the stock coyote timing sprocket, other than MMR's posts about their billet sprocket and how they recommend it for any boosted application. For a bit of background, I have a 2011 Mustang GT with the 5.0 V8 and the MT82 6 speed...
