That's a good shout; the wiring harness pins were not fun. I'd forgotten about them. I was able to get away with a universal joint on the socket set for the rear bolts but they are a frustrating operation. That said, RHD so things a little different with angles.

Once the dipstick itself is out, just rotate the tube left and it corkscrews out. About half a turn, it's easy enough. There's a little plastic tab preventing it rotating, just push that in. It does a pretty crap job as I can rotate mine freely regardless 😂

Very straightforward comparatively to everything else. Just torque it all up to the right settings and you'll be fine. You'll need some liquid gasket too, but that's all in the instructions. Plus remember to remove the dipstick tube before the covers or it snaps right off! Seems that's caught a...

Cheers, yeah seen that guy, he's pretty decent. Worrying stuff there. Although in his case it's the oil pump housing itself that's worn, I see a lot of people have issues with badly machined after market OPGs. I don't really get why people wouldn't just get the Ford Performance ones; it's OEM...

For reference, long story short, it was one of the pulleys fouling the timing cover where you need to grind down an old pulley mounting to allow for the Roush pulley bracket. It was within 1mm and after starting it all up the first time things moved enough to cause it to foul. Just needed to...

Recently fitted a Roush kit to a 2017 GT, and while it was apart decided to also install the 2020 GT500 aluminium covers (M-6067-M52S) and oil separator (M-6766-A52). Big fan of going OEM, which was a big driver for going this route instead of other options out there. Figured I'd add some...

Yea, all good there cheers. That's for the secondary tentioners, which sit low and not really tensioning anything until you pull the plastic holding bracket out then press down the plunger. At which point they spring up and activate against the chain. This is around the primary tensioner...

Ha, well on paper it's supposed to be 727bhp and 600lb/ft at the flywheel, but we'll see what the reality is on a Dyno at some point. Needless to say, it's a lot higher then it was a few weeks ago! I installed the Ford Performance billet crank sprocket, oil pump gears, secondary tentioners and...

It's all mapped successfully now. For anyone coming up against the same issues, the resolution was to change the Voucher Family code from P1315-P2-AB to P1315-P2-AA, which changes the country code the tool is looking for matching calibrations for your ECU. Roush advised that if the Tear Tag was...

Cheers for the heads up. Yes I read about that, I'd be pretty pissed if I had a new GT500 and that was the case! Poor guys. I did release the tab and then press the tensioner to activate it. As you rightly point out it just sits low and not doing anything until you set it off. The noise is...

Finally fired up the car after a supercharger installation, which included FPP Oil pump gears, crank sprocket, Boss 302 tentioners and their uprated secondary tentioners and secondary chain guides. All timed according to service manual and guides. Turned fine by hand, no knocks or bangs. From...

Well having scoured the net for the last day, it turns out i'm in an annoying grey area. The 2015's-16s had this code on the PCM, but the 2017's don't. Found a Roush video for their other very similar software tool (Roush diagnostic clean tech) which has a voiceover which says to contact them...

Resurrecting this thread: now on the last step of the installation, I'm blocked by the Roush software wanting a Tear Tag for my PCM. Can't find that info anywhere including Ford PTS and mortorcraft service website (which reports it as 0000). Seems from looking around that the S197's had that...

Still no joy, can't seem to find it in Ford PTS As-Built data either. It's a 2017 model, and although it seems from pictures by beefcake and lund that some earlier MY2015's had this on their PCMs, mine doesn't at all.

DM sent, cheers

Trying to load the Roush PCM tune for their Stage 2 Supercharger package, and it's asking for the 4 digit Tear Tag. Anyone know where this is located? Having sniffed about, I can see the S197 models had it printed clearly on the PCM. The S550's have the H/W, P/N and SITE numbers on the PCM...

Mate at ford accessed the EDIS system and printed out the instructions for those steps. Literally nothing but crank shaft bolt was listed as needing replacing. I've picked up 12 new VCT bolts today for piece of mind now but there's nothing in that system that said to bin them.

Fitted new OPG from Ford Performance this weekend. I got thrown by the fact they are not the same as the factory ones, and there's no instructions at all on the Ford Performance site. Figured I'd post some notes for anyone else that comes across this too, as it was a pretty stressful experience...

I've been speaking to a ford tech friend of mine this afternoon. He showed me the Ford Edis system tech guides for replacing the oil pump, and the cam phaser bolts. Taking the Phaser instructions as an example; those instructions don't mention anywhere that you need to bin those bolts, but the...

The Procal 3 software I have that comes with the Ford power packages has a re-learn option for misfire detection. I suspect this is the way to go once everything is ready, if this isn't fixed by the Roush PCM remap. I can always use the Procal to flip the switch before starting it for the first...
