Installing headers and midpipe this weekend

[Nuar]

Ok... How the heck did that dent cost you your motor??

 

[h4cHi]

My thoughts exactly....

Oil starvation, spun a couple bearings. The pickup tube is so close the bottom of the pan. I was able to catch it soon enough before it did any more damage. Ford wouldn't fix it they wanted to replace the motor so I'm having the engine built. But if you want to take a chance in driving on a dented oil pan for a couple hundred dollars by all means go for it.

Yes mine was barely dented and cost me a motor. Get that shit fixed asap. I didn't know it was dented because a shop did it, went out and did a single wot pull for my aed tune and that's when I started having issues.

That sucks man sorry to hear that

 

[h4cHi]

That's enough for me, oil pan ordered.

 

[h4cHi]

Now I need to find out how to install that =/

 

[SVTORANGE]

OMG your drive to get shit done is very cool

 

[h4cHi]

the dent in that pan looks pretty bad. Hard to tell by the pics but it looks like the whole center section is pushed in

and it's right where the pickup sits

Ya those were the pick the ford dealer took. I went and looked at the pan it's prolly at most an 1" pushed in but ya its also in the worst freaking spot possible.

Hey mines been down over a month...I don't wanna here it

I'm just glad you were able to catch yours....normaly I turn all my wrenches because I don't trust anyone to do the work for me....and the one time I do I get ****ed. Should have waited the couple of weeks for my max jack lift to show up.

Thats why I did this install, I had my car lowered and uca lca and phb installed and the jackass decided to not put a new uca mount in and almost blew my rear end into pieces

You live and you learn at least your mistake was easily fixable. Also I think it's a 50/50 shot on the headers install it seems. Some people can get away with a block of wood and a jack on the oil pan and some can't.

Glad you bought a new pan yours is DONE!

That is also great newz your letting the dealer install itepper:epper:
