Do you think the oil evaporates off of the engines internals after two weeks? Or during an oil change?
What do you think you're accomplishing by putting oil where there is already oil?
Also, have you ever watched those engine tear down videos where the engine is broken, they've been sitting in a junkyard for a year or two...when they take the engines apart the bearings all still have oil on them...
The oil pressure sensor is right after the oil pump.
If you have a garden hose, you have pressure right after the faucet but that doesn't mean you have water coming out of the hose.
Oil pressure is driven by RPM. 5,000rpm is higher than idle. Starter turns the engine at what 200rpm...
Except that you don't know that it actually does push oil through the engine.
You hear someone say 'oh I do this flood mode thing to get oil going before I start it...', but is it even true?
You said 'it says', but you still haven't said what it is/was. Owners manual? Ford service...
So you're ignoring what ford tech instructs you to do? Why? Sounds like you're the one disregarding information.
it's not a small block ford with the old, different style oil pump.
It's in some years manuals, and it's flor clearing a flooded engine, not building oil pressure
We had this discussion either here or on 6G and there's some goober that does it when he hasn't driven the car for a few days...
E10 is weird
I can leave it in my riding mower all winter and after a couple cranks and a puff of smoke it starts just fine
I've left it in my push mower for two years and it's fine
my snowblower, though, if I don't drain it, it turns into goo in the bottom of the carb in just a few months...
You cannot build pressure by turning the engine over with the starter on a modular engine. It's a Gerotor oil pump. Doesn't turn fast enough, ford even says this in the engine docs. It's not like the old style engines and oil pumps. You can pre-lube it with a pump
They don't make any low end power and the gearing of the manual is too long. Sure, all you have to do is downshift but the Whipple changes the powerband way more.
A10 with the centri is fine. You'll still be a lot lower in rpm with every shift in the manual.
Neither of them make boost at low throttle inputs
I personally wouldn't want a centri with a manual, but you should try to drive both setups before you buy.
3" is a waste IMO if you're going to just put a 2.5" on the end of it, but again there's only one way to see the actual numbers. and guys are making big power through the factory 2.5" mufflers
Getting rid of that 2-1/4" section has to be a good size gain but again...
Where are the Engine...
