Hey guys,

i am trying to figure this out, i just had my engine rebuilt, and after turning it on for the first time in 2 years, white smoke started coming out the tail pipes very bad. i bought a new oil sender and my oil reads a little above normal, yet i am not getting any oil to my heads, and my lifters are talking to me. also when i drive i feel like im driving a 4 cyl. horrible power loss. i check the dipstick and it reads a little over full, its not black or mixed colored i had put 5 qts. could it maybe be the oil pump? that is the only thing i didnt buy new, i just transferred it from my old engine to the new.

i have e303 cam/ gt 40 iron cast / tfs valve springs / gt 40 tubular intake

thanks in advance

This is the DOHC 4 valve coyote 5.0 2011-2012 section, you probably want this moved to the 1979-1995 5.0 section, engines are slightly different...

Yeah, the 5.0 302 pushrod slight differences to the Moodular 5.0 Coyote are:
4 valves per cylinder
DOHC
independently variable cam phasing
deep skirt short block
6 bolt main bearing caps, 2 of them cross-drilled
and actually, a true 5.0L using correct rounding figurs for displacement, even though it is also 302ci

No problem, but check out this sub forum to possible find out if your bearing quandary is true:

Moved from the S197 to the right section for you OP

I don't understand...you have oil pressure but, you are not getting oil to the heads? Or are the lifters just making a racket?

Also the oil pump thing is a no no. The candy cane pick-up connected to it was probably filled with garbage. I thought I had mine clean after washing in gas but, after taking off the plate that covers half of the screen, I found out way different.
