[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 16143861, member: 17953"] Mostly true. The 18+ Gen 3 has major strength improvements in the block vs Gen 1 and 2. They've also moved back to 12mm head studs vs. 11mm in 13-17 motors which is huge as the cylinder head will stay planted much easier under boost. The rods are the same as Gen 2 (tough as hell) as are the pistons save for the dimple for DI. The rub on the Gen 3 has been the spay bore lining in the cylinders. There are reports of it flaking off in some engines leading to premature cylinder bore failure (piston slap and bore scoring). Apparently the plasma spray process was farmed out to someone other than the shop that did the Trinity motors and the Voodoo. Once Ford gets their arms around the spray bore issues, the Gen 3 is going to go down as the baddest, strongest, most efficient Coyote to date. I will wait until they fix the liner issues, then I'll buy a Ford short block and build one on the side for my TT car. A brand new Gen 3 short block is $2050 today. [/QUOTE]
