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.
