Motor Questions for the PRO'S
I was wondering what was the sensor in the center of the block was?, i think it is a knock sensor! and what about the sensor on the side of the drivers side head on the inside is that the same thing? What about the oil pump. i bought the high volume oil pump from ford racing. i was wondering will it fit the 5.4. i think it will but not to sure also it came with a new pick-up tub, do i us it or do i use the old one or it makes no diffrence? One last question will crower stage 3 cams fit a 18cc dish piston with no clearence issues?

You have to use the high volume pickup tube that cam with the pump and no it wont fit block/pan without some work....you will have to remove or trim a splash sheild and then the splash baffle in the pan will have to be "adjusted" so the pan will go on and even then I still don't like the way it fits.
Then sensor in the valley is a knock sensor and it is not used by the computer however I think you should leave it plugged in.

18cc dish piston--what Compression are you planning on running exactly?
Most guys use 14 and a lot are using 12 now.
