I put it in with both manifolds on, all the accessory brackets, engine mounts, sensors, turbo feed and returns, and heater pipes..Before putting the rocker cover on we primed the motor with oil... Dad modified an old gas cylinder, you pour all the engine oil in, tap into one of the oil holes (I used where the turbo feed connects to) then connect up some compressed air and open the valve!... I didn't film it bud it's awesome to see and hear the oil come out off all the oiling holes, obviously turning the engine slowly as you go, the lifters pump up, and it gets oil through the whole engine, then we just pumped the extra oil over the camsRalphy and Tranna were right about it being tight, but we got it in... The rear end up about 300-400mm and the front about 200mm... The back of the rocker cover fouls on the fire wall, the sump then the balancer touch on the front radiatior sill, and the bottom of the box touches the crossmember haha... By putting a jack under the crossmember, and dropping it gave enough clearance to go in on more of an angle to clear everything... If you leave the rocker cover off it will probably make things easier again, and radiator out... Support the back of the box with another jack and creep it back as you lower the motor...Easy yea? I didn't take any helpful photos if the install, so hopefully my description makes sensehttps://vimeo.com/128194250 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you used some white sealant.The machinist recommended Threebond White, We applied a liberal amount to both sides of the gasket.. see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again the coyotes and 5,4's also run roller rockers yet full synthetic is recommended for them, so I really don't know the theory behind it... But after the wear on my cams I'm willing to try something different just for my own research purposes.. I was using Nulon 15-50 race blend stuff and that seemed to come out clean, no noises etc... I'm looking into Joe Gibbs, Brad Penn and now the ULX110 stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
