How to install VMP Oil Pump Gears on Mustang GT w/ Mustang Lifestyle

VMP developed the ultimate upgrade for '11-'17 Ford Mustang GT owners with our new VMP Performance Billet Coyote oil pump gears and crank sprockets.
With this upgrade, owners of high horsepower S550s will no longer have to worry about their stock oil pump gears causing damage to their Coyote engines.
In this video, we provide you with a step-by-step how to guide on the correct way to install your new VMP Coyote oil pump gears.
Make sure you watch until the end for some "scientific" durability testing of the stock oil pump gears with Andrew at Mustang Lifestyle.

Mustang Lifestyle rpm was never really the issue it was hitting rev limiter and odd crank harmonics from being supercharged the gt350 has the same oil pump gears and spins to 8250 rpm

[@177SCmaro]

Well, not worry about the oil pump, at least. 8,000rpm is a lot for the stock gt engine but the second gen in your S550 is probably more able to handle it with those basically boss 302 springs Ford upgraded to.

[@MrLightning54]

You guys should do a 18+ F150 oil pump gear install / timing procedure. I tried doing it with the 18+ Mustang timing procedure and could've easily jacked it up, as I made a little PTV contact, (but thankfully ended up not hurting anything) a good video would be beneficial to a lot of people.

offset and deep offset box wrenches. Also a small pair of right angle plier and a small magnet help.

[@PredatorPride]

I put zip ties around the bolt. Worked like a charm. Got the idea off a forum.

[@Mando5.0]

Thank you for the video very helpful on my project . I thinkI I burned a valve removing heads soon. Do you know if I can remove the cylinder heads without removing the engine from vehicle ? 2015 mustang gt

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

As long as you're still utilizing head bolts, not studs, yes. It's going going to be fun. We much prefer having the vehicle on a lift and dropping the K member and engine as an assembly. The width of the engine makes it quite the chore in the engine bay. If you're engine has been modified and is running head studs, you will not be able to pull the heads in the bay. At least from our experience.

[@rotor13]

Just got myself a 2018 GT PP, bone stock with 46k miles. Seeing the used and new stock OPG's break like that makes me paranoid to even enjoy my car. Can't even survive a 6ft drop? Just ordered these before I even hit the dyno to get a baseline sheet before I start taking it to the tracking and modding.

[@rexburn1955]

I've got a 2014 stage 3 roush. And the sound of the oil pump gears hitting the ground and breaking gives me nightmares. I really need to do mine asap lol.

[@400hpmustang]

It should, all Roush did was apply badging, slap a SC on it and tune it. They didn't address oil pump gears, crank sprocket, guides, chains and the two piece steel DS. Did they at least upgrade the radiator to a 3 row?

[@StreetRacingHaven]

Doesn’t matter when your oil pump is spinning it doesn’t fall on the ground just stop hitting the rev limiter it’s not going to stop your motor from blowing. The rods and pistons is your weakest link

[@kevinwongdangerous]

Do you guys have a video install on oil pump gears for 2018 and up Mustang GT’s or is it the exact same when it comes to the step by step guide?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

The only thing that varies is timing procedure from generation to generation. The work itself is very similar. Refer to Ford/year specific timing procedure.

[@ronmonahan1696]

did anybody else catch the the different sound of the billet compared to the powdered metal gear when dropped? billet sounds alot denser than powered metal.

[@alexmiller2721]

What’s different on the gen 3 yotes?

[@dy8863]

@VMPPerformance, Do you have an install video for the 18'+ Coyote Mustangs? Seems like the timing procedure may be different on the GEN 3 engines, and are also different on the F150's?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We do not. The procedure for timing the Coyote is one that is pretty intricate and our recommendation would be to either source the Ford service documents or use a resource like alldata.com for a subscription for your specific vehicle if you intend to complete this yourself. It does vary from generation to generation and from truck to Mustang.

[@johnwalterolivera4851]

Hello friend How to fix secondary chains and new cam shafts. send me video Link

[@robertwolfman286]

Hello. Can you please describe in more detail exactly where the RTV goes onto the timing cover just before in re-installing it? Obviously, it’ll go in the same locations of where the old RTV had to be scraped off - but I want to make sure I apply it correctly so that none of the RTV gets into the engine. THANKS!

There is really no way to tell when or if your stock OPG's will fail so if it is a concern you have it is a good idea to replace them to be safe.

We never did one...the K-member has to be dropped because the oil pan has to be pulled down slightly, due to the oil pickup tube being molded into the pan.

[@giovannilopez5007]

Followed video instructions and for some reason when I cranked the engine, I could hear my passenger side primary chain hitting the upper timing guide arm. Took it all apart and when I turn the crank manually, the tensioners fully depress and there is slack in the chain on both sides.. any help?

[@smurfeco2.358]

I’m about to install a 18 ported manifold on my 2016 at what rpm redline do you recommend oil pump gears ? Or do I only have to worry about it If im banging the rev limiter or boosted how they say . say my car is shifting about 7700 rpm? How harmful can this be ? How about running it in the dyno ?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

If you are concerned about the oil pump gears you should replace them. There is not a way to say at what point or if they will break, but it never hurts to be safe.

21:47 zip ties to prevent the crank pulley from spinning? i dont see how that is stopping it from spinning.

[@OLDMAN5.0]

Using the zip ties to put the AC belt back on. There's no adjustment for the AC compressor they use a "stretch" belt. Put the belt on the AC compressor pulley first then start the belt on the crank pulley and turn the crank pulley and the zip ties hold the belt to the pulley.

[@zach_waltonn]

So confused with the timing chain thing went does the engine what to be rotated to 5 o'clock to remove chain in the first place and how does the 720 degrees of rotation not interfere with rh bank of valves

[@diambo4life]

It's probably timing when all the valves for that bank are closed so there's no interference with the motion of the pistons. If you have done timing belt job with an interference engine like a 4G63 you would understand. The only difference is there are two 4-bangers using the same crank and operating twice the number of valves. Gives you quite the appreciation of how these cars run.....lol.

[@dreece2000]

I keep seeing a repeated oil pump gear failure on here. I have 2 questions. 1st question is say I have a f150 bone stock and gets drove like normal is this something that should be looked at? Question #2 will this give any kind of noise before it breaks or does it just leave you standing holding your legs waiting for the rape to begin?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hey Dave. It really depends on the type of driving you do and the RPM range/use the engine sees. On most street cars that see only occasional spirited driving, we don't see many problems. If the vehicle is going to be up around the rev limited often or raced frequently, it's a good idea to consider OPG/CS. The biggest killer of OPGs is rev limiter strikes/two steps or any type of use that involves harsh/rapid changes in RPM.

[@dreece2000]

@@VMPPerformanceTV thanks

[@jordanwerner4330]

does anyone know if it's the same process for the gt350??

[@zrgray]

It’s similar, but they are definitely timed differently than the 5.0 is.

[@gahlyogu4570]

What does that airlift coolant tool do? is it necessary doesnt the system bleed the air by itself?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

By pulling a vacuum, it forces any air pockets deep within the system out. We use it because if any remaining air makes it to the intercooler pump, it will loose prime and subsequently stop running. It also does the same for the engine's cooling system, preventing you from having any overheating issues. It's a "better safe, than sorry" measure.

[@MustangGuru]

If nothing moves is it possible to mark the chains and phaser gears in their current location before removal be able to reinstall in reverse ? Just asking.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Yes but don't trust nothing moving...just line up the dots.

Don't take shortcuts when it comes to internal engine work!

[@dreece2000]

It's tempting but then you might need to move something then you get lost in your own art. Always line up the timing marks....it's the only "true" standard you have to verify everything is on time.

is this the same for 18-21? I think the pulley removal tool is different? Are there any other differences?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Biggest difference on 18+ is you need to drop the oil pan down to get the pump on and off, since the pickup tube is built into the plastic pan. Also verify the timing procedure for your year and model.

[@SupraNaturalTT]

Meanwhile on my stock engine single turbo mkiv Supra is on the stock 24 year old oil pump, has had multiple 2step launches, rev limit bouncing. Car dyno 530 whp on 100 oct on stock 550. No I'm not only and import person, could actually care less about Toyota as a whole. Did an engine teardow back in 2013 after valve stem seals were shot. Checked the condition of everything else, oil pump buttery smooth so I didn't touch it. Cyclinder walls still had cross hatching at time of teardown 101k miles. Every manufacturer has its hits and misses but for Ford not to recall something as important as the oiling system is pretty ridiculous.

[@Droidman86]

Can't deny supras are awesome but let me clarify something. The ford stock oil pump gears are actually pretty good, matter of fact there has been complete stock mustangs in the 800-900 whp without issues with stock opg. However, It's just a safety precaution some people like to take when boosting these motors and revving it high. Nobody wants to be the 1 out of 50 people to mess up engine because of a part that costs only $300 to upgrade to billet OPG.

[@mustangman4valve]

Newbie question.. why did he zip tie the belt on the crank dampener

it helps to hold/guide the A/C compressor belt on while you rotate the engine to walk the belt on.

Hi Saul, most of the work to get to the point of replacing the timing gears in Coyote engines is very similar. It'd be the timing procedure that varies from platform to platform. We'd recommend looking up the exact timing procedure for your specific vehicle's year and equipment to be absolutely sure of it.

[@op_mastrpancake1201]

Curious on why you have to remove the spark plugs?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Duly noted as a consideration for the next time one comes through. You also commented on a Flex Fuel tuning video, we've stopped offering flex fuel tuning due to some concerns with it. Feel free to DM us on Facebook/Instagram or shoot us an email to [e-mail] and we'd be happy to discuss and answer any of your questions.

@@VMPPerformanceTV what about a regular e85 tune?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Absolutely, we still offer E85 tunes and do those frequently.

[@jimbrow83]

@@VMPPerformanceTV my car is a 14 track pack manual with long tubes catted x pipe stock resonators corsa extreme and steeda pro flow cold air intake with boss 302 manifold with steeda 93 tune. Do you think your 93 and e85 tune would make more power and torque through out the whole rpm range honestly? I'm looking for Max low end torque hp extra till I get you guys is vmp gen3r kit

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

There's a lot of variables there in regards to making more or less power. We tune for as much power we can achieve while maintaining the safety and drivability of the vehicle.

A new oil pump housing? Is this a ford dealer item? Or a specific VMP housing?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Just a new ford housing, bonus, it gave us another set of OPG to drop

[@FlatPlaneCranky]

VMPPerformance cool. You’ve got the best videos on KZbin. Keep em comin you’ve goat a subscriber and a customer. We are installing the phenolic spacers I bought from you when we install the supercharger. Great products and knowledgeable people at VMP!!

[@Anthonyrs2]

Are there any differences when doing this on an 11-14 motor?

[@dre04mach]

Only difference I can think about is the fan - 1 bigger fan vs 2 smaller fans you might have different clearances in certain areas (which is key for my paxton)

Crank timing positions

What was wrong with having the oil pump down in the oil pan?

[@dreece2000]

With it in oil pan the camshaft drives it half the speed and they are less moving parts with it on the crank snout

[@zydrunassavickas1]

do they fail? I've actually never seen or heard of a single one failing. i know people upgrade them but is it really necessary.

[@noahpierce4746]

Žydrūnas Savickas yes they fail often. But now every high hp mustang has billit OPG’s

[@noahpierce4746]

Jake like you want me to link you the Instagram accounts of mustangs that have lost oil pressure and popped while on the track? Or do you wanna do your own research on all track and high hp mustangs having billit OPG’s and ford crate motors having billit opgs’s i can 2 step with 700 hp alllllll day and i don’t have to worry about mine popping

[@08turboSS]

If you plan going over 600 whp, it is recommended. Same for rear axles. Axles should be done at 500 crank hp/440 whp if you plan on using drs or slicks.

[@corporal42]

How much to replace with parts and labor?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

For an itemized and exact quote, shoot us an email over to [e-mail] with details about your vehicle and our support team can get it all put together for you.

[@leoherrera1783]

on average what is the cost to pay a shop to do the install?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Around 8-12 hours of labor

[@johnlucero9843]

IS THiS THE SAME PROCEDURE ON 14 GT ?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It is a different procedure for 11-14.

[@cjbryant5212]

Unfortunately seems like yall don't install oil pump gears anymore

[@indicasativa8542]

Working on a Whippled ‘stang 😂
