[QUOTE="Uncle Rusty, post: 14721704, member: 167811"] For someone without little experience working on cars in general, installing the oil pump gear actually really wasn't that bad. It's more time consuming than anything, since you have to remove all the radiator hosing, the front engine cover, and the Timing chains. None of the steps were actually that difficult, I was worried about messing with the timing but it's all actually very simple. I think the hardest part for me was actually re-installing some of the radiator hoses, dear god do they take a ton of force to fit back on, and then those godawful factory metal clamps... I've heard of quite a few failures actually from the Oil Pump Gear, it seems to be higher risk the higher RPM you run and of course if you're boosted since the engine is under more load. The guy at my local Mustang shop who really knows his stuff said it's a must have for any boosted Mustang. If you're gonna do it, it also wouldn't hurt to get a billeted crankshaft gear on there at the same time. The factory crankshaft gear doesn't fail as often, but since you're already taking it off to take the timing off, why not upgrade that to for a few extra hundred $$. [/QUOTE]
