Sale pending

Still available. Last chance before parting her out.

No spun bearings just some cheap scarred rod bearings that I replaced with a good set I bought from Dad on this site. Yes the oil pump is bad, I took it off and attempted to clean it up to see if tha would help with the oil pressure issue. the casings were wore pretty good but I reassembled it and lubed it with assembly lube. This gave it pressure for a short while but then lost pressure again. I was doing the TPS reset when the pressure went south. As for the a/c bracket I have no idea, that was what came with the car. I have removed the a/c but still have every hose and part I took off. This gave me room to mount the aftermarket thermostat housing on another bracket I made thats not shown in the pics.

Not sure it was on the car when I got it.

Its a 16g.

Just throwing this out there before I start parting her out. First the good, body and interior are in very good shape, rebuilt turbo, new rod bearings, MSD Ignition, GM MAF conversion, hard pipe OVC pipe,custom aluminum intake, custom chrome wheels with good tires, sub and amp in back, new fuel pump, aftermarket boost and oil pressure guages. Now the bad, needs an oil pump and tuned. I had just reset the tps when the oil pump died, ac has been removed but I have the set up. This would make a good car for someone who knows how to work on them and has the time to do so. Wife wants it out of the garage now so I need to sell the car as is or part it out. I would rather sell it as a whole car since so few are left. The title is also 100% clear. I'm asking $2000.00 or best offer.The pictures I posted are from when I purchased the car. Drove to Indiana to pic her up, been in the garage since. http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7976/1001327j.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/899/1001320f.jpg http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5714/1001324g.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/5351/1001323m.jpg http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2531/1001321s.jpg

That's true, I think I'll go ahead and get a new pump from Dad if he still has one. Also clean out the cooler and give it a shot until I get ready for a built long block.

I have no idea on the block, I didnt rebuild the motor or have any history on it. I traded a motorcycle for the car several months ago. From what I can tell from dropping the pan it had been rebuilt at some time due to the type of crank. From the info I got on this site its not factory. I knew there were issues with the engine like the lifters, turbo,oil pressure and slight rod knock. I got all of these fixed except the oiling issue now. I mainly traded because the rest of the car is in great shape for its age. I did guage the oil pump tolences as per the manual, didnt guess. This is not my 1st car, I've built several 500+ rwhp mustangs over the years, this is just my 1st 4 cyl turbo motor. I am mainly trying to get it running and drivable for now until I decide whether I want to drop in a built G54B with alot more boost or do a supercharged Ford 5.0 conversion. This is a project car for me and my 16 yr old son plus I have to get the bosses (wife) permission to start throwing big $$ at it.

I havent cleaned the cooler, I think I'll just go with a new one when I change the pump. I checked the new rod bearings and crank when I took the oil pump out and there are no scuffs or marks, still look new. Once I lost oil pressure I didnt run it long at all maybe a minute. I drained the oil today and it looks clean, cant even tell its been in a motor.

Cheap me chose to clean up the old pump, replace the plunger and missing peice. Clearances checked out for the gears also. I thought of something else also, I used a thick assembly lube on the gears when I assembled the pump. This could of been thick enough for a short while to keep the pump primed and giving pressure. Along with the wrong pump gasket this may be the answer. I guess my best bet is to just order a new pump and gasket from Dad and do it the right way. I question is there anything I need to do to the new pump to make it work with the BSEK?

Positive there was no pressure, she was rattling like crazy not smooth like before. Plus I have an aftermaket gauge that I have already tested to be good. Both factory and the aftermarket showed 0 pressure. I just found thru some research that I may have used an oil pump gasket for a non-turbo G54B engine instead of the turbo one. It actually shows diffrent gaskets for each. I guess thats what I get for being in a hurry and going to Adv@$^#&. I wonder if this minor oversite would cause the oil pressure issue?

Yes, this is the 3rd time dropping the pan. I even checked how well the pick-up and o-ring sealed while the pump was off to make sure that wouldnt be an issue.

Ok, in another thread I talked about a low and no oil pressure issue. So I decided to pull,inspect,clean the pump, installing all new gaskets, and pressure prime the system. When I primed the oiling system oil came out all rocker arms and I ensured no air got into the system. Got the motor started, had perfect oil pressure, let it heat up and topped the radiator. Started working on the fueling issue, setting the TPS, fired her back up and no oil pressure again. I know I had run the engine for at least 20 minutes before this happened. Would an oil pump go in and out like this? I figured a bad pump would not have pressure from the get go. When I tore down the pump it was not gunked up, actually looked pretty good. I dont know what else would cause this except the pump. Have I missed anything that I shoould be looking at? During the time of good oil pressure the engine was very quiet with no knocks or rattles. The only issue I had was the fueling system not letting her run correctly. I already replaced the rod bearings and the crank was fine as well as new lifters. I've not checked the compression across the cylinders yet but there is no blue smoke since the turbo rebuild. I'm just about to the point to put her up for sale and start on another project.
