[FLATKITTY]

Flyinglizard: "Measure the pan to pickup value. Get rid of the inverted tapered pickup & make a straight round sided pick up guide, around the actual tube. Weld in small guide plates surrounding the pickup so that the oil is diverted towards the PU. Use the damn Accusump & be done w/it."

The basic V6 OE aluminum oil pan is a deep sump unit & is actually better than the OE pan on the V8. However, w/that said, my problem was either the pump &/or filter. I made the 'mistake' of replacing both ... & the problem was a 'no-show' at the next race. I say 'mistake' as I should have initially replaced the filter ONLY, then, if necessary, follow it up w/a pump replacement. At some point down the line, I may reinstall the original pump which could isolate the Motorcraft filter as the problem. Anyway, as stated above, the oil pressure was perfect w/zero drop at any point on the track at my 2nd race.
