where has the oil gone

Luckybro · October 20th, 2010, 10:40 PM

Just got my 96 4.6l 2v ready to start. I fill it w antifreeze and the we put oil in it. 1,2,3,4,5,6 quarts and no oil on the dip stick, gran-it it has a canton oil pan and a stock dip stick. Do I need to get a special dip stick, or what? We started it, it rough still needs a tune, just confuesd HELP!!!! http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...milies/omg.gif

normal is 6 quarts so if you got a deeper pan you will more oil

Luckybro · October 21st, 2010, 08:32 AM

Ok I thought the same added two more quarts, still nothing. A little worried now because the engine I took out had a crack in the coolant portion of the intake which ruined the old engine.

go find where the oil is leaking and dont start it up...

Luckybro · October 21st, 2010, 10:33 AM

Ok any suggestions. What I mean is this has the new style intake with the aluminium crossover for coolant, it's not leaking it or burning it.

whats gran-it mean?

anyways i think i interpreted your post and it seems like since you have a deeper oil pan dont they usually take 7+ quarts??? i would check with the company you bought it from and see what the oil capacity is on the deeper pan.

as well you most likely will have to get a longer dipstick from the same company

hope it helped a tiny bit

hmm, how do i explain gran-it...it's kind of like saying " now, it DOES have a canton oil pan, and stock dipstick"

thats my best interpretation, but you can really explain it, its just something you say.

"granted" not gran-it

Thak yu 4 the spellling lesson

VinceS2K · October 21st, 2010, 05:15 PM

haha, sharky, thats how its spelled, but people around here say it gran-it.

sharkbait · October 21st, 2010, 06:20 PM

lol. To awnser you question.

Drain the oil and see if it comes out. Is the oil pickup stock?

Luckybro · October 24th, 2010, 07:57 AM

Yes the oil pick up is stock. but my problem is worse. Although my idiot gauge says I have oil pressure the is not reaching my heads. It just gets better n better. So we are hoping for maybe a restriction at the oil filter or maybe a plug missing from behind the front cover. Anybody else had this problem?

Maybe a new thread?
