no this is actually down on the oil filter adapter itself next to the OP sensor they call it a control solenoid .. FT4Z-6C880-B

Interesting , i worked at a ford dealership and noticed the trucks had it but my 16 GT did not . I looked through the wiring diagrams on oasis and it did not show it on any 18's or newer mustangs . I really felt their data was inadequate for a lot of stuff, oasis also doesnt mention that the 18...

I have only seen the oil control solenoid on the truck engines and no ford wiring diagrams show the solenoid on a mustang.

The whole thread is about OPG's which no one would change on a stock engine at least i wouldn't. Let me say this, there are a lot of people on the web with a lot of opinions and it can get real heated real fast since these people believe they are oil experts and they analyze the shit out of oil...

I have done a fair amount of testing of oils over the years as these questions arise. I have been wrenching for 40 plus years and i have put a lot of oil outside in different temperatures to see how they behave over the years . Our temps range from -45 to 70c throughout the year.Oil has...

nope

Well i do and so do many engine builders especially for break in. Its working for me and until that changes i will continue using it. Someone is using it, my supplier goes through a shit ton of it.

I get to breathe a sigh of relief today, my results from my oil sample came back and we are good to go. Anyone pissing on Fram filters may want to reconsider, i have used them for 45 plus years never one issue. I bought myself an oil filter cutter and will continue to keep using Joe Gibbs Driven...

Pulling the motor for this job would be counter productive. There are a few ways to do it, either out the bottom with trans and how ford recommends out the top. Pull blower/intake evacuate A/C etc just do it in the car not that difficult or have someone do it for you.

These pumps are bullet proof with hardened gears , i really think its just another gimmick to differentiate Boundary from the rest plus you need to buy the hardened billet backing plate. Its all based on rpm and unless your spinning your engine to the moon walk away.

Totally do able and easier than Gen 2 the inside pump bolt is miserable.

Watch this video, you cant go wrong. Yes change the crank sprocket. My OP runs around 90 on a rip and 60ish hot idle. Factory gauge which i changed to an Ecoboost gauge set for the boost.

They are not hard to make and here is what i think the issue is. Someone in the aftermarket identifies a deficiency and makes a good part to fix said deficiency then along comes another company that wants a piece of that action and they try to compete with price since there is no way to...

I dont have boundary gears for my comparison but the TSS look good to the eye and measure really good and hardness seems to be in line with boundary. I am going with the TSS but its a bit more expensive. but given that i have to do it twice plus i am replacing the oil cooler i will not be...

Well it can be too hard and it can be too soft , it needs to be just right. The gear needs to be durable and able to pass debris without breaking. My first set of gears was bad in multiple ways.

So for anyone still playing along :) i had the TSS and Ford gears tested. The ford gears are too soft to register and the TSS tested at 32 .

That is the point of this thread, hopefully no one else does what i did and assume i was getting top quality parts. Bottom line , inspect and measure and keep shit clean clean clean. and cut that filter open A filter cutter is under a 100bux an engine is 15g . If you go inside an engine its...

If you save my photos and enlarge them you will see right angle bumps across the gear like the machine was chattering as it was grinding.

Only waiting for my crank gear from FPP. I am completely satisfied with TSS thus far and the the finish is of good quality compared to what MMR sent me You really have to hold them in your hand to see how much better the TSS gears are. See the image of MMR. I have decided to not hardness test...

Yeah thats not happening, 600 cad for opg's they fucking well better be good. Glad im not paying someone else to do the job im already out 450 cad. plus labour
