Hi All,

I'm building a 5.4l 4v modular engine down here in Australia. I watched the 5.4l 3valve series you made, and I have a question on how you mounted the oil pickup tube after you fit the arp main studs. I brought the engine already disassembled and I think there are parts missing. Is there a spacer that goes over the main stud that the oil pickup bolts to or do you put a washer on the thinner part of the stud then bolt the pic up tube down? Any info and pics if you have any would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers,
Luke

Hey Luke,

Thank you so much for watching the series! Yes, there is a little pedestal. Check this part out in the video https://youtu.be/p4krsFVguD0?si=uZQZJP7kQldw52s1&t=315 I had to shave off some material to put on the pick up on the pedestal.

Thank you for using 2CarPros! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Best,
Ryan
