Hart" Subject: FTE Perf - Bronco II questions... Okay guys, here's the deal, got an oil pickup comin for the BII today to try and get that thing straightened out ... going to try and pull the pan with the motor still in ... I've got a hoist though so I can lift the truck and the motor a bit ... A couple of questions : 1) what is the sensor that plugs into the side of the oil pan ? and how is it supposed to look? This one looks like it might be broken but can't get a replacement if I don't know what its called :) 2) what is the sensor over the starter ? I pulled it (and tightened the starter when I put it back in) and it looks like a knock sensor ? Didn't realize they'd used those that early, does anyone know what it does if it senses knock ? Most of them pull a few degrees of timing, but haven't heard of them on the older motors like these ... 3) Anythign else I should look for while I'm under there ?

Hook your meter to the one wire connection on it, and ground the other to the metal part of the sensor, and move the "float" inside of it and see if you get a resistance change, if so it is probably working... The one above the starter... Oil sending unit (Oil pressure switch) maybe???

I hadn't heard of them on vehicles this old before (86) ... that might be causin some of my problems with the lifters rattling in there (if that's what's really rattling) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 18:22:06 EST From: WJeff43 AOL.COM Subject: Re: FTE Perf - new engine Drive it home, but don't run it at the same steady speed for more than a couple of minutes. As soon as you get home, change the oil and filter. Drive the truck normally for a week or so (no drag racing). Pull the valve covers and re-torque the head bolts. Check all the other bolts for tightness. Change the oil and filter again. After that, enjoy your new engine.
