WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the drive gear into the crankcase front cover. Install the high-pressure oil pump. See HIGH-PRESSURE OIL PUMP .
    2. CAUTION: Make sure that the drive gear is fully seated on the high-pressure oil pump before installing the bolt and washer. Otherwise the drive gear may not seat properly, causing binding or slippage resulting in a no oil flow condition.
  2. Position the drive gear onto the oil pump, and install the oil pump drive gear bolt and washer. See Figure. Tighten oil pump drive gear bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  3. Position the Dial Indicator with Brackets (100-002, TOOL-4201-C), onto the oil pump drive gear, and check the drive gear backlash. See Fig 1. If not within specification, replace the drive gear.
