- Today we take a tour of MPR Racing Engines in Boynton Beach Florida. I'm sure many of you have heard the name but now we get a look inside their facility to see what they are all about.
We talk to Tim and Tyler Eichhorn about what they do at MPR, block sleeving and get Tim's opinion on the 2018 tick controversy.
Finally good to hear an engine builder talk about the tolerances in these Gen 3 motors!

Great video, thank you for taking the time to provide us a window into MPR’s world.
As a CNC machinist this is my kind of video content! Very interesting and informative!
Thanks for showing us that. Not only is MPR's work on point Tim is really cool to work with. He treats you as a valued customer, which isn't the case all the time these days.
Thank you for the video! We finally got a honest answer on why the 18s tick.
Great Video, Very informative. Good understand to sleeve or not to sleeve and the Gen 3 Tick. Thank you. Subscribed button pressed!
Thanks for watching!
Your content is amongst the best out there I've seen on UA-cam as far as info and content. I love all the coyote builds and that you guys have fun but still show what your videos say they do without clickbaiting or bs advertising every 2 minutes. Much respect.
Thanks for the tour!! That was awesome!
Ken, great video thanks. I think that is the first video where a machine shop shared their thoughts on the TIC with any authority. Sounds like if you have a good gen 3 count your blessings if you don't get it sleeved.
Nice Video Ken! Tim, Tyler and the crew at MPR are great!
Thank you for the information.Amazing the power these small displacement motors make.
Great Video and information on the 2018 block, I have been leaving comments on this issue for months and a few of the responses have been that the spray bore was done on the 350R. Now I know that Ford cheapened the process, everyone needs to see this.
I LOVE seeing content like this! This is great stuff Palm Beach Dyno!
FINALLY....ACTUAL DATA FROM THOSE THAT KNOW!!
Tony Bolton
Facts and data rule !
0:09 Nice. You're the first shop i've seen that attaches their deck plate with studs vs bolts when the engine will be built using studs. Ive been bringing this up for years with nothing but crickets except Texas Speed that told me it doesn't matter which doesn't makes sense considering the added deflection bolts put into a block vs a finger tight stud with a nut on top.
So the problem is/was someone possible mixing up grade 3 blocks with grade 1 pistons for the gen 3 Coyote cars, hence much more play for the cylinders to slap around.
That would explain why some have a tick.
It's great to hear a master builders input on the topic finally.
Great info!
I have an old factory coyote with mismatched cylinder heads so I believe it. One gen 1 cylinder head, one gen 2 cylinder head.
I bet it’s old stock that needs to be used but at what cost? Now Ford has to fork out engines left and right to fix all these “lemons” out there.
Thanks for the interview pbd
Awesome video! So much misinformation out there on Social and the forums. Great to hear honest information from the best engine builders!
Brilliant!! Thanks from the UK!!
Great information! Thanks for the video!
I hope Ford engineers will see this videos and understand what quality and precision means. I so sure those guys they will build my engine in this coming summer,can’t wait to build my 17 GT the way I want it. I know will not be cheap but I’m sure will well worth the money. Thanks for the video sir,you help me a lot with my future build 🍻🍻
I had no idea the Gen 1, 2 and 3 needed block work. I was under the impression they could take a bunch of power without any problems.
Thank you for the informative video. Thank God someone is willing to tell it like it is. KUDOS
This is such an awesome video. Also the main reason I went with MPR for my GT350 short block. Tim and Tyler really know their shit. It’s also nice to know it’s a family run business.
Great info !
I never knew there was that much variation in a stock engines bore spacing.
Awesome video with great info. Keep them coming!
awesome video Ken!! Great info im going to look into them
Great video very informative! Thanks for the share!!!!
Some very good info! Tks for sharing.
So that ticking sounds isn't causing any issues to 18-19 mustang?
Great info. When someone with experience and knowledge speaks the only thing you do is soak it up.
I've been peeping PBD vids lately. This one got me to subscribe. 🤘
So what sort of power is a 2017 coyote engine good to make with sleeves, forged rods and pistons and a standard crank??
I wonder if they would recommend a thicker oil because of how loose the 2018’s are. Maybe a good 30 grade is better suited for this engine then a 20 grade?
Awesome video! I know it depends on a lot of factors, but I wonder what their turnaround times are on say an engine refresh, shortblock or longblock?
It really depends on the time of year. I'd give them a call and ask!

I hope my MMR engine holds up ! Good vide 👍
Damn good information from a master engine builder it would be cool to see how the NHRA teams build there engines
What level of boost are people seeing heads lift on a stock gen1/gen2 OEM engine
The Voodoo 5.2 is known to consume oil above levels of performance based, built, power adder Coyotes. Is the Voodoo’s oil consumption an inefficiency that is corrected with a sleeved block? , or is it just the nature of that engine and no getting around that
Does the Voodoo engine have iron rings?
I'd love to know how much each level is costing. Is it worth spending the extra money for the support kinda thing.
Say I threw in a set of forged rods and pistons in a gen3 block. Would that fix the sealing issue since the pistons will be properly clearanced?
I know it’s super late but nah the opposite in a way. Sleeve it so the bore is consistent and reinforced. But since you’re in that deep might as well get the forged rods and pistons lol. Then from there you’re golden. Some mild boost and you’re making a reliable street monster. I’d rather keep it around 800hp and have the piece of mind you’re over engineered at that point. 10R80 handles 800. Beef up the drums and clutch packs and increase clutch hydraulic pressure with a trans tune. Would be perfect. 18-19s are the fastest ones ironically btw lol
Thank you Tim.
So a sleeved block will be in my future...lol
Once I boost my 18 I’ll run it around like that for a while. Then I’m sure I’ll need a rebuild the correct way.
Great video. Thanks for the info!!
I just recently bought a 2019 mustang GT PP1 and it has the TICK & the 2K RATTLE. I love the car but how do i fix it ? and what would it cost to fix? DOES ANYONE KNOW??? ANYONE???
Go to a 5w30 high quality oil
Sir mpr ka ingine oil mobil tractor gadi ke liye kaisa hai
Great video!!
Excellent video!!
So it is true the 18+ engines have a problem that according to Tim gets compounded probably by users not warming up the engines before beating the crap out of it.
I was wondering about warming it up thoroughly. I do it because I have a Whipple and 10 qts of oil and live in a cold climate. Oil temps in the middle before I diddle..that much growth because of temperature is amazing..
On my 03 cobra I always let the car get warm before it sees any boost. I’m not making crazy power but at 620/585 I’ve had the same built motor for 12 years now and it doesn’t skip a beat.
I have always let my engines warm up to at least 150* before I beat on them and never had a failure.
My 19 has the tick sometimes. I ALWAYS make sure engine oil temp says normal before going even half throttle. Been like that since day 1.
always cringe when some youngster cold rev's anything 500+hp
I'm planning to sleeve my engine before I put a blower in it but first I'm doing the suspension
What weight oil should you use if you’re spinning 7500+ N/A
50 racing
Great info thanks
Great info
Great content!
Love this vid very informative
Good Info
Good Info!
Awesome video
Excellent video. .... Subscribed.
I have always wanted to see heads welded on.
Fascinating.
More of this
interesting information
Damn Tim knows his stuff
Awesome
The factory is using CNC machines just as accurate if not more accurate than what you're using, good sales pitch though.
Nice video but please try to slow down with the camera movements! Other than that, good job!!!!
Interesting. Sounds like he knew of Smoky Yunick.
Good vid!
In Cali looking for a Engine builder that I can trust does a good job
Good music young guy
Finally. The Typewriter Tic exposed. Gen 1. Gen 2. Gen 3 mishmash at the factory. Great job Ford! Jeeze!
So the clearances in the spray bore liner and the piston is the reason why my engine rattles from 1700-2200 RPM? Especially when cold? Here's a video. It sounds like shit. I also found a bunch of ferrous flakes in the oil filter on my first oil change at 4908 miles.

He reminds me of Joe Namath , the eyes.
Ford should just get this company to build all of their Gen 3 5.0’s including mine . Waiting to see if I will get a rebuild
Not a fan of the cylinder thickness
Engine tick solved finally!
I bought my 2018 Ford Mustang from Pine Tree Ford back in June 2018 (on my channel). I have had the noise ever since. Pine Tree denied hearing it on multiple instances. I took it to Meadowvale Ford, they hear it and do a bunch of repairs in 2.5 weeks that it was in. I picked up my car yesterday, and it still has the tick. Then they presented me with the Bulletin that Ford has put out recently, which states that the tick is 'normal'.
MPR is bee's knees
Done SWEET
not sure i want to buy from these people. anyone that would let a nasty chevy engine get with in 50 foot of a great ford engine. just kidding great little video
I am in Ontario Canada. Having the same ticking issue with my 2018 Mustang GT. Bought it back in June 2018, and was present since I bought it. Took it in to the original dealer 2 times, then took it to another dealer for second opinion. They are both denying hearing the noise, and are not spending enough time to reproduce the issue. In fact, the Oakville Ontario Ford told me it is my normal exhaust sound LOL....you guys tell me i'm not high on cloud nine?

From what I could see the plateau honing in those bores was piss poor.!
From what you could see on a video on UA-cam. Got it, thanks for your expert opinion.
Man I wish I could afford him build my Coyote
What’s the most the Coyote can take from factory? Thx
Good Stuff! #Coyote carguy FYI
I still think the Coyote is just NOT user friendly unless your a straight up Motorhead Ford mechanic ... Period...
Great Video & Better information!
Awesome
Great video!
