My 2000 Expy with the 5.4l was having oil pressure drops. I took out the pan and discovered the pickup screen to have build-up (apparently not all oils are created equal).
Anyway, I decided to peak into the oil pump and removed the hex nut. As I pulled it apart, the spring launched, I closed my eyes, and the spring and relief valve shot out.
1. I assume that is all there was in that spot.
2. I assume the proper way to reinstall is the put the relief valve in first, with the open holes towards the top, then put the spring in, and put the hex nut back on.
3. Anyone know of a diagram anywhere?
Thanks in advance!!
