8 Qt sump, 3-4 qts low…… yeah you wiped out the bearings.Don’t regularly check the oil lmao, but probably should have.
Ya just don’t know how the oil got out. 4 quarts in 5k miles is a lot to burn. And it does look like there is a decent amount of oil on the steering shaft. Don’t see any on the filter or drain plug.8 Qt sump, 3-4 qts low…… yeah you wiped out the bearings.
You’re running long tubes right. That would mean oil should’ve been burnt onto the headers if oil is on the steering shaft ?And it does look like there is a decent amount of oil on the steering shaft.
I meant steering rack. And yes headers but they have header wrap. And ya pcv system is all stock.You’re running long tubes right. That would mean oil should’ve been burnt onto the headers if oil is on the steering shaft ?
Are you running the OEM designed PCV system or a modified version ?
Uh... I've seen wife's F150 hit easily over 225 plenty and even up in the 240s...Lund. 167 (cars been 180 and should have hit 170+ easily). E85. Cylinder head temps just hit 225 when I let off
In normal driving yes that is pretty hot. Just cruising and light acceleration that car shouldn’t really go above 205. Even during AZ summer car never got that hot if I wasn’t flooring it. When I went 180 the car didn’t even hit 240Uh... I've seen wife's F150 hit easily over 225 plenty and even up in the 240s...
I know I have an overheat condition and I'm trying to diagnose it, but that doesn't seem THAT high does it?
No oil level low limit switch on the side of your oil pan ?Not mine atleast. Just oil pressure. But no check engine lights for oil or anything. Only got a check engine for the vct being too advanced on one cam and misfire codes.
