I would make sure that the rubber gaskets in that kit are the correct ones for the S550. I remember hearing that that kit came with ones that only fit the S197.

Most re-use the stock gaskets. RTV silicone (Ultra black) for the seems of the gaskets.

I'm not sure if you've seen the videos I put up while I was doing mine last fall - but if you want to see what it all looks like when it's coming apart and going back together and getting it timed correctly it might be worth a look.

So if I got this correct from a few pages ago....When doing the OPG/CS upgrade on a Stage 2 procharger car you DO NOT need to add the ARP crank bolt/washer since the Procharger supplied bolt IS NOT a torque to yield bolt therefore IT CAN be reused.
Sorry, just making sure Im clear. lol.

Wow no new replies in 4 years.
Quick question regarding the oil pump. Is there a reason why there is no gasket or o-ring between the oil pump outlet and the surface of the engine. It seems to just be metal on metal. See pics below.
I'm not saying this is wrong. Ford obviously intentionally engineered it this way. Just wondering what the reasoning is behind it.

That's interesting. I can see that with two bolts on either side and as long as the surfaces are acceptably flat, oil leakage would be minimal. But I wonder if it would be worthwhile for someone to experiment with machining a groove for an oring into the housing.

The lowest I was quoted for just the labor was 1,500 at a shop in NJ. Two other shops quoted 1,600 and 1,700. Absolutely absurd.
I am by no means a mechanic, but everyone I know who has done the OPG/CS install themselves say it is not difficult. Rather it's time consuming and attention to detail is very important.
I plan to do this install myself in the fall. After many hours of research and watching tutorials, I'm very confident I can complete this myself.
