Also side note I forgot to mention spin the crank shaft as you install pistons and torque connecting rod caps install one torque it and spin do the for all of them one at a time you will feel some added resistance as you add piston after piston

Well it's time for the balancer ignore my bolts missing I actually lost them but this is how it's done this is to balance the crankshaft

All the parts to your balancer

This Is how you time your balancer. You have to time both gears with the little dots one should be on both then there is an arrow that you time your balancer to your crankshaft. If you are missing marks like mine just know 2 and 3 will be top dead center. Also look at the balancer where it mates to the block notice your holes on is a oil block hole.

Torque settings

Time for your oil pump

All your parts plus how you check your oil pump for wear little pic to the right

Torque specs there is a paper gasket that goes eternal the block and the pump housing also notice your pump shaft that's driven off the camshaft you do need to put I in when installing pump

Psi your pump should put out

Finished bottom end finally making some progress.

Time for an oil pan good job ford this thing is heavy I also did clean the inside very well with mineral spirits a wire brush and water and a wire wheel before to clean the old gasket off

She's installed and all the bolts are torqued except front four cause they hook Into the front cover

Torque specs of 30-35 ft lbs
