Ford F6TZ-6600-AC Oil Pump Assembly

To change the oil pump, the oil pan and the baffle should be detached, the bolts that hold the oil pump should be loosened and the oil pump pulled up off the engine. Subsequently, pull out the oil pump intermediate driveshaft where two ends are of different shape and the retainer ring location has to be observed. Following that, you will have to unscrew the inlet tube and screen from the oil pump. During installation, it is requisite to pour a moderate amount of fresh clean engine oil into one of the oil pump ports and then manually turn the oil pump drive to achieve priming of the pump. Place the oil pump pick-up tube with a new gasket and fit the intermediate drive shaft into the position with the pointed end forward having correct position of the retaining ring. Place the oil pump onto the engine block and fit a new gasket if necessary, then fasten the oil pump bolts, torque set accordingly. The rest of the steps are in reverse order to the removal steps. Last, turn on the engine; observe that the oil pressure reading comes up to normal; if it does not rise to normal, shut down the engine right away because low oil pressure may harm the engine catastrophically.

Pull the oil pump intermediate driveshaft out of the engine.

Insert the intermediate drive shaft into the engine, pointed end first.

The first step in the installation process is to fill one of the pump ports with clean engine oil and rotate the pump by hand to prime it.

After removing the bolt, lower the pump and remove it along with the pump driveshaft.

Install the oil pump on the block, using a new gasket. Make sure the pump engages the driveshaft. Install the oil pump bolts and tighten to the torque.

Make sure the pump driveshaft is mated with the shaft inside the pump.

Remove the chain tensioner mounting bolt and the tensioner, noting the spring location. The tensioner is secured by one mounting bolt while the guide is held by two.

Remove the two screws securing the CMP sensor and then remove the sensor.
