A 4 year old thread Raised from the dead! I think I see the problem!

good story

Thanks Beefcake... you guys have been great and you immediately jumped on my replacement oil pump gears for the first set that I was sure I broke... which Boundary shipped off to me and are due to arrive Tuesday... but I’ll be sending them right back unused... more to come on that later...

LOL... no.

i just bought a version of the lower one off Amazon for like $7.99... the Whipple complete kit comes with plugs but says you have to gap them before installing... Hotop Stainless Steel Feeler Gauge Dual Marked Metric and Imperial Gap Measuring Tool (0.04-0.88 mm, 32 Blades)...

I guess I’m partially to blame... originally ordered the tuner kit and then realized to be emissions compliant I need the complete stage 1 kit with Whipple’s tune, so called and changed the order the same day.o.. unfortunately seems there was a breakdown in communicating that between my dealer...

Yes, you have to drop it a little... but I figure with a new gasket on there, it should be fine to not replace again. Most don’t replace the gasket when doing OPG... seems like you really can’t get the pan far enough dropped to easily access the gasket and get the surfaces clean for the new...

Missing one of the small bags of I/C assembly parts...also supposed to be a complete kit and got a tuner delete kit instead.

Interesting, I figured they’d just replace the gasket... wasn’t even enough of a leak to have drips on the floor, but I could see oil seepage around the interface between the pan and the engine. They ended up replacing the pan too... The tech said that the plastic pans expand/contract a lot with...

So I weighed the Whipple 5 supercharger... 90 lbs with nothing on it. Add the intercooler with fluids and the other parts/pieces it’s gotta be 120 lbs or so added to the front.

Mine showed up on Monday... unfortunately some parts were missing... those are due for delivery this coming Monday...

Hell no.

35k miles on my 2018... just had dealer replace my oil pan and gasket due to a minor leak, all under warranty. That’s the first issue I’ve had.

Well... my Whipple Complete stage 1 kit is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow in two shipments, one noted as 150 lbs and the other at 60 lbs.. And that is without 2-1/2 gallons of coolant in the inter cooler... I’ll try to get a more accurate weight after it gets here.

What are Norks? Never heard that term before.

LOL... I asked the same thing in a different thread a year or so ago... oil pump gears... they supposedly are a weak link if you upgrade your power as the stock gears are some sort of compressed metal powder and break if you drop on a hard surface from shoulder height... There is debate about...

I’ve got a service appt on Monday... I figure since the oil pan gasket leak is covered under the power train warranty, then I will make Ford fix it. I guess I’ll see what my dealer is willing to charge to go ahead and do the OPG and sprocket when they do the oil pan... it is a bit more work...

Is the pick up tube attached to the bottom of the pan with a couple of nuts or something? Is he talking about taking those off without lowering the pan, with only a small gap of access?

What is the point of the long extension on the studs? I can’t see any reason... Could they be cut down with a hacksaw to make a shorter socket work? Another question since I’m about to do my OPG... looks like According to the repair manual that in order to fully remove the oil pan you have to...

YAY, just got the email with tracking number, which says my order is ready for pick up by UPS! Woo hoo!
