Status of my engine

[Oxford Snake]

As many of you have heard, shortly after getting the car running with the new turbo kit I had an engine failure where all oil pressure was lost and a knock developed. Well I finally got the motor pulled out and torn down. As I had suspected the oil pump gave out, the housing is cracked and the drive gear is broken in a couple places.

Parting out - let me know if you are interested in anything

Motor looks nice and clean.

Will be a great upgrade for a Mach/2V guy looking to step up.

Motor looked brand new when we tore it down. Dave, you got until July to get the bitch running so I can go for a spin

Hey Dave.. here's that article I was telling you about with the Hellion install.

http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/mmfp_0605_hellion_turbo_install/index.html

Check this out.... 847hp & 789lb-ft of torque w/16 degrees of timing & 24lbs of boost? How in the hell do they pull that off with 91 octane requirements (although they added in some race fuel for good measure).

"A few gallons of race fuel were mixed in with the 91-octane pump gas. This was used as a safeguard when tuning the Cobra's ECU for optimum performance. Maximum timing during all testing was 16 degrees. The low ignition timing didn't even come close to requiring anything but the 91-octane fuel, but we weren't taking any chances."

 

[Oxford Snake]

There is no way they were running 24lbs of boost on 91 octane, that would have melted a piston for sure.

 

[shznit]

That's what I thought.. especially since no one is even close to their numbers... and that article is like 2 years old now. WTF....

The damage appears to be minimal but some guys on Mod Fords pointed out the discoloration of the crank/rods and say it's due to excessive heat when the motor ran dry. I am going to tear down the shortblock today for further inspection.

As for why sell over rebuild; it's almost Summer and the car has been down for almost 6 months already, I just want to drive it.

 

[Oxford Snake]

I was able to completely tear down the shortblock and found that cylinders 1,2,5,and 6 got excessively hot when the oil quit flowing. The front 4 rods and crank are discolored and the front 2 rod journals are pretty scarred.

Looking to part out the bare block, heads, cam covers, and other misc parts. Let me know if you are interested in anything.

Thanks,

Dave
