Non-FE Discussion Forum / custom steel wheels
« on: March 27, 2023, 11:00:04 AM »
Does anyone know a place that will build custom wheels? I contacted Wheel Vintiques and they do custom back spacing but not custom width.
I am looking to have a stock steel wheel that will accept a dog dish hubcap, something like 9 inches wide and 5.5 inch back spacing. Thanks.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / J&L oil separator
« on: December 06, 2022, 04:39:25 PM »
What do you guys think of the J&L oil separator? They say it catches oil before it gets caked on the intake valves.
I've seen some newer 5.0 mustangs where it caught quite a bit.
Is it a good thing or does the engine use that oil to lubricate the valves?
They are very popular.
Here's a link to the product:

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: Torque Wrench
« on: November 04, 2021, 03:09:21 PM »I prefer the ratcheting click style. You can't always see the scale on the beam style, but you can always feel the click. I have snap on, Craftsman, and harbor frieght. The HF actually seems pretty decent for the money. The Snap on stuff is spendy.I don't understand. The style I posted clicks when it hits the torque that is dialed in. You don't have a scale to even see.
Maybe I should have said split beam.

I prefer Beam style. You can leave it on a torque setting for as long as you want. I've had mine checked and they stay accurate.

It is described as having a relief valve.
From the work manual:
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the:
crankshaft main bearings.
crankshaft thrust main bearing.
connecting rod bearings.
oil galleries.
All other parts are lubricated by splash of the oil.
The lubrication system of the 5.0L (4V) engine is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through its entire operating range. The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump using top seal rotors.
The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump.
Generically, this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:
The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
System pressure is limited by an integral, internally-vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil pressure both at hot idle and maximum speed.
The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high viscosity conditions.
The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under high-temperature and high-speed conditions.

Very cool! My 19 mustang GT has some sort of variable oil pressure set up. I'm not sure what they're using but it's 15 lbs at idle, 35 going down the road and I forget but 90 or so when revved out.
You can see it bounce up in pressure like you flipped a switch when it hits a certain rpm.

I compared 2 row to 3 row and the 2 row came out on top on my car.
My 2 row I think is only 1 inch cores from Ron Davis Radiator.
