    I seriously doubt that a high mileage 4.6 3V will generate anywhere near 100psi oil pressure with a GT500 pump. Factory spec minimum...

    I looked thru the Rockauto listings. In 08, the 4.6 in the Mustang used the same phaser as the F150 (both 4.6 and 5.4). All of the '13...

    All good points. And, yes, I did fall into the internet engineering trap I strive to avoid. On any forum (I do not include...

    Back to one of my original questions about that pin... Even the pics on TascaParts shows that pin. So it is a factory item, not part of...

    If I do, them I'm running a supposed 90-100 psi. And higher volume. I think I'm going to stick with the stock 80psi 3v spring and check...

    FSM for 2008 F150 says 40-75psi for 5.4 3V and 4.6 2V. Rockauto shows Melling 340HV for the 5.4 3V and yet a different Melling pump for...

    That's what the FSM specs say for the 5.4 4v. Spring could be different. There are different pumps from Melling for the 5.4 4V and the...

    Also, one reason for the higher volume is the piston oil squirters. At higher rpm, they will consume some of that volume and pressure.

    This thread talks about the new pump possibly having a 90-100psi spring. Regular 3V vs 13-14 GT500 oil pump | Mustang Bullitt Forum...

    Okay, I think I know what is happening. I looked my 2008 FSM. It also shows 75psi at 2k. For the 4.6 3v. If you look at the 2008 5.4 4v...

    So maybe this 60psi info is inaccurate? The spring I put in is a stock Mustang 4.6 3v spring.
