HOW TO REMOVE/INSTALL THE WINDAGE TRAY AND OIL PICKUP ON THE ZETEC

 

TOOLS NEEDED:

                10mm socket

                6” socket extension

                small torx bit (30?)

 

REMOVAL:

                After removing the oil pan ,(insert link) use the torx socket to remove the two screws that hold the oil pickup to the pump. On some models there is a plastic pickup that also has a mounting bracket securing it to the tray. If equiped, remove the mounting bolt. (8mm)

                Use the 10mm socket to remove the bolts holding the windage tray to the block. The Bolts are on the outside of the tray.

                Carefully separate the tray from the block. If it is stuck DO NOT pry it apart. There is a gasket that is copper on the long ends but a rubber seal at the sides. Be carefull not to damage this.

 

INSTALLATION:

                Carefully place the windage tray onto the block, making sure that the rubber parts of the gasket seat fully into the seal carriers. Tighten bolts to spec.

                Reinstall the torx bolts to the oil pickup and mounting bracket (if equipped). Tighten to spec (8ft/lbs)
