That one will work, but it is the standard size as opposed to the compact size. So it will be bigger around and stick out farther from the pan. And the hose/drainer will only work with other standard size Femcos.
Well, that didn't go well. Was changing the oil in the F150 (Coyote engine so we can talk about here) and I guess my cheap Harbor Freight torque wrench doesn't like very low settings (8 ft/lbs). I put the FEMCO valve in, starting tightening it down and the thing snapped clean in half. The valve kept turning and the wrench wasn't clicking so I figured all was well. Obviously not.
The FEMCO comes with a brass crush washer, so I know those require a little bit of torquing down, so I kept turning and *snap*. I was able to get the threaded portion of the valve out of the oil pan w/o any probs, thankfully.
Now I am really nervous about installing the other one in the Mustang. The torque rating for the valve is 12 newtons, which is equal to 8 ft/lbs. I probably should've used my inch pounds torque wrench and just set it accordingly. I have a monster Tekton brand torque wrench that goes 50-300 ft/lbs that works well. My other two torque wrenches are Harbor Freight garbage...I normally don't cheap out on tools...don't know what I was thinking back when I bought those things...it was probably the 20% coupon that got me.
I really wasn't cranking on the torque wrench at all. These FEMCO valves are made out of pastry shells, man.
