  1. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    That's a sad story...hopefully Ford stepped up to the plate for him.
  2. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    What sort of rubber was he running? Seems odd for the oil pump to have let go on a stock engined car.
  3. Beef up the MT82 or find a Tremec

    @steveespo you are selling one?
  4. Beef up the MT82 or find a Tremec

    What's the go with the shifter brackets? Are they aimed at increasing the reliability of the transmission under heavy use conditions or simply designed to aid in shifting gears easier? I anticipated a lot of dissatisfaction with the MT82 shifter while I was waiting for my car to arrive (based on...
  5. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    I'm not sure, it was modified but I'm trying to ascertain what those mods were. The concerning thing is the tires. MPSS are by no means a grippy tire in a track setting.
  6. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    Interesting. Why is the pump required in order to make this work? Ive been led to believe the GT350 and Coyote have similar/same oil pump only difference being the material of the oil pump gears.For the record, today I learnt of a GTPP here in Aus that recently had bearing failure due to oil...
  7. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    @2012-Boss fair enough! Thanks for the clarification.
  8. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

Or...
  9. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    I assume you are meaning not to run extra oil in the S550 if using the stock pan?Thanks for the tip. I would be running the factory sensors in the pan, in which case would you still recommend using loctite? Red or blue?
  10. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    This is interesting. You would think the high banked turns would be a true test for the oiling system. Just to play devils advocate though...does the ROVAL have any really heavy braking zones? I'm led to believe repeated heavy braking zones do a lot of "damage" in this instance. My other query...
  11. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    Thanks, I will add another catch can. My main concern was oil starvation so perhaps I will just keep an eye on the cans and go from there. I am running the same suspension as you with BMR handling springs instead of the progressive ford springs, similar tire and wheel sizes too. I'm very...
  12. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    Thanks!@ArizonaBOSS looks like a nice Boss race car you have there. What has been your experience with the Coyote in race situations?@steveespo thanks for sharing your experience. Was this a once off experience with the catch can filling up or did it happen on a number of different...
  13. Coyote - oil flow on road course with sticky rubber?

    This is my first post on these forums. I've spent a bit of time on M6G but I'm a road course addict so naturally I've made my way over here.As the title suggests, my question relates to tracking a Coyote equipped S550 with sticky rubber on the stock oil pan. Is there any concern with oil...
