Here is the UOA for the oil that was in the car when i bought it. Really the only concerning thing is the water but after to speaking to the company these levels are about 2ml in the whole 100ml sample I sent in. its very plausible that the water is cleaner from cleaning the surface of my drain...

Double checking the orientation of the bearing on the #5 main. Also installing Ford main bolts. Can anyone tell me the torque spec for these? For the inners is it 60ft lb plus 90° For the outer and side still the 45ftlb like the arp?

I think I just saw that too. Was it on YouTube tho??

Only had time to go thru the passenger side cams Thoughts?

No I didn't, but when I sent the oil off for the used oil analysis, and nothing came out on the magnet.

should I see about replacing that bearing?

can you help me understand how the flywheel, and clutch assembly contribute to wear on that last main bearing?

As far as I know factory clutch

#2

Main #3

No worries a lot to read now that this has grown thanks the valuable input for you all I can only speculate that the oil in the car when I bought was motorcraft since the CARFAX had an oil service last year in June about 2000 mi ago.

Main #4

#5 was a pia to get out. The bearing doesn’t look terrible, there is a wear mark but certainly not any cause of glitter in the oil. The other three mains should be straight forward getting out.

Yes I did and I have them right here. Am I missing it? I’m looking for something like “hey dumb dumb the special stud is #X in the torque sequence”

Yo where does this taller stud go. All the factory ones are the same length bolt

Torque sheet is in the box. Main cap #1 is off. What do we think? Crank looks great. Bearing looked ok I guess. Zero grooves. No discoloration either. Thoughts?

yes, I didn't open the box yet.

haha but not Park Ave.... that would just be arrogant LOL

Can someone provide me with the torque spec for the main caps?
