ahhhhh noooo I hope the cars ok man =/!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Me too! There's a thing called rod run coming up in 3 weeks I'm going to and I'd prefer to take the mustang but I may have to take the truck or fairlane

 

[W3bb3r04]

Made some good progress so far tonight. I'm going to try and get it pulled in the morning

 

[LAStang1234]

Sorry to hear RJ! Best of luck brother!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Welp guys it's not looking too good

 

[Weou09]

Oh no!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Yeah I know it blows!

Im thinking of buying a new crank, bearings and checking the rods to make sure they are round. Then the billet gears and new pump of course.

 

[skwerl]

That sucks!

 

[gray1622]

Sorry man.

 

[Bobby]

Man i hate to see this.

 

[JoshK]

Are the oil pump gears broke?

 

[Shotokan1509]

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap, that really blows

 

[weather man]

Inspect carefully, you do not want to FOD on restart.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Does anyone know at what point the rods need to be replaced since the bearing doesn't move in it?

 

[W3bb3r04]

and also can I reuse the rings if I pull the rods

 

[BruceH]

Are the oil pump gears broke?

This^^^^^^

 

[W3bb3r04]

Update:
Oil Pump gears were not broken.
I think a combination of thick oil, stiffer spring in the oil pump and foreign material caused the bearing failure. Ive got all the pistons pulled. Im going to take the crank to get turned on Monday.

 

[NotQuik]

Aside from billet gears...do you plan to run another '13 gt500 pump (maybe with stock spring) or just put the gears in a stock oil pump?

 

[lethe]

What oil were you using?

 

[GallopingFord]

Sorry about this RJ.
