Congratulations on getting her up and running!

 

motor is dead.

again.

thank you MMR and your cyro-oil pump

 

Wait, what? Motor is dead dead, or just out of commission because of the pump?

 

you've got to be kidding me...

 

dead dead

broken oil pump gear = no oil pressure = fried bearings and a rod knock

I'm picking up a stock shortblock from a friend on tuesday. I have "bigger" plans for the paperweight that's in the car now

 

Man I hate to hear that. There is nothing that you can do to recoup the money from the bad oil pump?

 

You're lucky you know how to do this stuff man. If you were having a shop do it all you would have a lot of bills to be paid...

 

since I'm not the only one to have problems with this pump, we'll have to see...

tell me about it! Although going in to work 2 hours before my shift start and staying late 2 hours to work on this **** thing is really begining to suck.

 

shoot man... this freakin blows. the Car Gods need to cut you some slack here..

 

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

well, today we start the update with a picture:



and a quote: "it's all apart of the plan....."

update:
- after battling food poisoning all week, I finally made it to AED today and got the Mustang's pacemaker. A stock, Windsor shortblock. Low mileage and a working stock oil pump

- while there at AED, I chewed the fat a bit with Drew and made a decision on something: I want a 5.0. Not a Coyote. Not a Fox or a SN95. It's stroker time! Life hands lemons, what do you do? You throw them back and ask for limes for your beer. Or make lemonade.

The Plan, Stage 1: pull the wounded motor, swap the top end over to the pacemaker, enjoy it while I recover finacial through the summer

The Plan, Stage 2: wounded motor to the engine stand and becomes my Frankenstein project of an azz-whopping, nitrous inhaling, cammed up, stroked out, Trick-Flow headed, Coyote-stomping beast

Ohhhhhhh, I love a good plan.

 

Glad to hear you're ok from the food poisoning. That sucks donkey *****

Pretty good game plan

 

this... plan..

it sounds very good

 

 

**** that sux hardcore.

 

wounded heart should be set to come out tomorrow

I'm getting good at tearing 4.6's out of Mustangs

 

you should do this for a living lol. i dont think i even know anyone who has ripped out and installed 4.6s as many times as you

 

All the more reason for him to help with a 4.6 DOHC swap in my car...

 

you'd think someone would pay me to do this by now! Oh, wait!
