- 08 mustang v6
I have read a few threads about this on here before i joined but no one ever says if they figured it out or not. My engine is a 2008 mustang 4.0l v6. Fresh build less than 300 miles break in and main bearings went because of low oil pressure. The motor went together text book with great care and all clearences were good. 50psi at startup cold and drops to almost nothing hot. Anybody got any ideas? My engine only had 20,000 miles on it. I have had this motor apart a few times because I race the car and I put forged pistons and steel rods on camshafts and ported and Polished heads better valve springs Etc. But this oiling it problem is something new. Because of the low mileage I have been using the stock oil pump with no issues until now something is causing the oil pressure to drop. I will be replacing it with a melling 328 high-volume oil pump.
