That was a pan the Capaldi offered as an alternative to what I got. If I remember correctly, it already has the bung for the oil level sensor. I opted for the FRPP pan...again in hopes of having a shot at any future warranty claim on the motor.

No doubt about that. I have thought about the point of taking longer to heat up and also for running track days, longer to cool off between rounds. The way I am thinking it is we have an oil cooler built in, not as good as the air cooler, and that along with the larger S radiator and larger capacity pan I should see some addition cooling. I never opted for the extra cooler because my Boss has never overheated at sea level. Now without an AC condenser up there I doubt I will need it unless I start running longer enduro events.wwilde001 said:Although a simple comparison I think you can understand why I think the radiator is a better cooling solution.

Fat Boss said:LOL thanks Scott!
Some good discussion on this thread. It'd be nice if someone could do some data logging and see what the curves look like as you add coolers, capacity, etc.
YellowBoss said:Thanks Rob for the info here. I did find out from someone at Ford Racing that the Roush springs will hold up better at high RPM driving. For now I think I am going to stay with the Ford springs, mainly because I had to get a whole new head, the old head was damaged for a reason other then the valve spring failure. The new head (FR or Ford parts) comes with the valves and springs installed. Don't really feel like pulling the new head apart right now. Plus due to the secondary engine problem it is costing me more then I first thought it would.
As far as the pan goes, guess I was wrong about any benefit for cooling it would add. It was never stated to me that is why I should get it, only because of what Mark stated above. I am not sure why Ford Racing decided not to include the fitting for the oil level sensor, I found out today the S does have the same sensor as the production Boss. For the money paid on this pan it is a shortcoming for sure. Bill was lucky enough to be close to Watson to have his fitted there. Good news is they seem to be helpful and are looking to get the measurements to mount mine.
Sean said:You wouldn't happen to have those measurements would you? Also, does it just reuse the stock oil pan gasket?
Hi YellowBoss,YellowBoss said:Yes, I reused the original oil pan gasket. You can replace it but I was told it is re-usable and I have not had any problems. I got the measurements from John Phillips at Watson. I have a pdf file I can send you if you PM me your email. However it is dark and one measurement is hard to read, I had to call John back to get the correct number and do not remember it now.

THANK YOU!wwilde001 said:When you send your harness to PRS, you need to send the sensors as well, so yes, the sensors are modified as well.
