Update: Fired up, ran like a cammed 5 cylinder and stalled. Tried again. Same result. Died a little inside. Rechecked vacuum lines. Brake booster fitting popped off the intake. We good. Runs like new.
Hey all. I’m not the type to do major repairs, usually simple bolt on mods, but I took the plunge and did the oil pump/crank sprocket/crank stud install. I followed the all data manual to a T, replacing all the gaskets and bolts it recommends, and torquing to spec.
The one hang up I...
I'm able to source all of the other cam bolts as N806183S437 per the ford parts site, but the site doesn't say what bolt to use over the HPFP cam cap. I appreciate any help.
Ok, that does sound kind of risky. I didn’t think about the possibility of cams shifting. I’ll probably pass on that and just follow the service manual then.
Hey all. I’m sure it’s alright just thinking about how the crank works, but figured I’d ask to be safe. After I pull the timing chains off could I rotate the crank a few times to seat the new oil pump assembly before torquing, then just put it back to 5 o clock to pop on the left side chain...

Hey all. I’m pretty deep into the Opg/Crank install on my 3rd gen and I was thinking it was going pretty smooth. If you guys are considering, just watch a few YouTube videos from speed addict 731, and the 2 install clips from truck and roll on his old mach 1. Those and the service manual...
Hey all. I’ve got a complete boundary oil pump and crank gear sitting in my shopping cart and I’m not sure if should pull the trigger. It’s a 6spd 3rd gen with the ess g2 and a big pulley.
Anyways, after reading through what felt like a hundred posts, can anybody attest to the durability of...
Yea I returned them and bought a ford set. Not worth the risk of engine damage. The replacement set had minor discrepancies in letter spacing, but consistent font size and color.
I’m installing my ess g2 and bought these for $300 from an eBay shop with over 10k reviews and over 99% positive feedback.
The issue, I’m seeing inconsistencies in the printing between most of them and the OEM injectors I see online. I contacted the seller and he was saying it’s a batch...
