Rick,
I verified the "quart low" myself. The problem got less when I did that, but not by enough.
There is a mod for the distributor gear oiling for the 460 here:
http://www.highflowdynamics.net/?
Pick the top selection on the left side of the page.
For some reason the
oil pump drive system on the 460 is different from the other Fords in that it is more frangible (always wanted to use that word on CC) than most other engines and if you are building one of these you need to pay close attention to this area.
I'll do this mod on the next engine for sure!
In the meantime, once I got the oiling issues under control (read: Accusump and correct distributor gear location), I have 22,000 + road and track miles on this engine and it's still OK!
Tom
