How to service and repair the oil pan, oil pump, oil pump screen, and pickup tube on Ford Thunderbird?

Starting the process of servicing and repairing the oil pan along with oil pump and oil pump screen and pickup tube requires placing the vehicle in neutral gear on a hoist then draining the engine oil. The service begins by removing oil pan bolts followed by engine crossmember then continues according to sequence. Only hand tools should be used to remove the oil pump screen and pickup tube units to avoid getting damaged while inspecting the O-ring seal for replacement when needed. After removing the timing drive components, proceed to loosen all oil pump bolts to finally dispose of the gasket. A plastic scraping tool should be used to clean sealing surfaces to stop possible leaks through surface scratches. Install a new oil pump gasket after placing bolts at 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.) and turning them 90° in the second step. The installation of new timing drive components requires engine oil application to the O-ring before positioning the screen and pickup tube of the oil pump. All oil pan sealing surfaces should be both clean and dry before applying a new gasket for the oil pan and tightening the bolts by following a specified sequence. The first bolt torque should be limited to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.) before moving to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). Last step involves placing the engine crossmember and installing bolts while you complete the procedure by filling the crankcase with new engine oil.

Wet sump system is incorporated in the Oil Pan whereby the oil sucked through a pickup tube by the oil pump circulates in the engine before finding its way into the pan. This design is however necessary in maintaining sufficient quantity of oil under different operating conditions. Traditionally, Ford Thunderbird Oil Pans where mostly produced from stamped steel while today engines are manufactured using cast aluminum making them more reliable and efficient. Thus, the change in the material turnover may imply the changes in the engineering in an attempt to enhance the performance and reliability of the Ford Thunderbird through the years.
