It was late nights, living off beer and chips, ridiculous stress, anticipation, excitement, and running around like a mad man is what my Memorial Day weekend consisted of. I loved every minute of it and the finish line is so close. [ATTACH=full]177533[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177534[/ATTACH] We finally got everything button buttoned up on the truck after cab drop, filled fluids, and went to start it up and got bad grinding sound in the motor. We pulled all the belts off and spun it again...still bad grinding sound. Check for oil pressure and nothing. We spun it one more time at around 1:30 AM and it locked up. We were dumbfounded. Could be valves hitting pistons, could be something with the valvetrain, could be the torque converter not set right. We were puzzled and tired and couldn't handle it anymore. After my buddy stayed late and pulled the transmission to double check we moved back to the front of the motor. We narrowed it down to valvetrain or oil pump. The moment we pulled the oil pump bolts loose the motor was free again. When you buy a front cover from Ford it comes with the oil pump already installed. Months ago, I slapped it all on, put a front seal on it and kept moving forward. That oil pump was dry as a bone. [ATTACH=full]177535[/ATTACH] The oil pump was shot and the front cover was salvageable. We cleaned everything up, installed a new well lubed oil pump, put the balancer and belts back on and got ready for fire up. After getting pass a weird block in the High Pressure Fuel System the truck built fuel pressure and fired right up (had to take a airline and blow into the main feed line to the high pressure pump and we finally got fuel to the fuel cooler...really weird) [ATTACH=full]177536[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177537[/ATTACH] So SHES ALIVE!!!! Now I just gotta bleed the brakes, continue to burb the air out of all the systems, notch some clearance for my front shocks, put the bumper and headlights on, resolve a weird CCV routing issue, and Ill be ready for a test drive. Hopfully tonight! So this weird CCV issue, I need help. I installed a Elite CCV dump with a downpipe CCV venturi dump and a external oil filter kit from Sinister plumbed into it. I routed the return for the oil filter kit into the CCV but think I did it wrong. I backed the truck out and when I parked there was oil pouring out of my twin tip exhaust. Thank god it was not a turbo seal. So some how my oil return is backfeeding into my CCV dump. There are 5 ports on the CCV dump, two large top ports front and back, and two small ports front and back, and one side port to the passenger side. I know the small front port is for the factory CCV dump. What is eveything else for and where can I plumb my oil return line in? [/QUOTE]
