Dented Oil Pan

[stang_gt2010]

Would a dented oil pan cause low oil pressure?? Which in turn cause a cam phaser to break?? Any suggestions why a cam phaser would break?

if the dent was right under the pick up tube and made the pump starve for oil then possibly yes...have to be a pretty good dent

and explain how and where the phaser broke? maybee the phaser bolt was over torqued? Have you done cams?

I was getting hot rod cams installed. The shop found the broke phaser. He don't know how it broke. It also sent pieces inside the timing chain and it was making a whining noise.

were you there when they "found " the broke phaser? Because i dont think your car would run very smooth with a broken phaser...did you drive the car to the shop ok?

No i wasen't there when he found it. And uh it made it to the shop but running very bad and the check engine light came on, on the way there.

Well, the shop just emailed me and said the noise didn't go away. So he is getting a ford engineer to look at it since it is so new. Only 1,200 miles on it.
