SinesideNon-EBP Valve Turbo Pedestal & Exhaust Housing for 1994-1997 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel 7.3L

This is a decent part for a common after market mod. The part is well made and the maching is well executed. Change up your 7.3. Recommended and a good price too.

I had my pedestal oil control valve go out many years ago on my truck and I removed it and plugged it. I also gutted the EBPV insides and plugged the shaft holes also. This has worked well for many years but I wanted to get an actual EBPV delete exhaust housing and pedestal that is made for the delete with no plugs or backyard fixes like I had. This pedestal and exhaust housing is a direct fir with all included orings to mount it and the turbo to the the top. Made well from what I can see and is comparable to others on the market but at a better price point.

Oil leaks from the brand new pedestal. Has to be the great orings that came with it Wish I didn’t take so long to install because I’d return it. Do yourself a favor. Don’t buy this. Get motorcraft o rings

First thing first, the oil gallery plug in the back was not sealed at all and loose, causing a leak. It also seemed to not be tapered like normal NPT plugs. I installed an 1/8npt plug that I had in my toolbox, so not leaking anymore. May have been a metric vs SAE difference, I don't know. It's SAE now, LOL.Second thing is for Van owners. There is no bolt holes in this base to attach the factory heatshield. You will need to fabricate new mounting brackets.

Good product fit as it should but please read this part put some thread sealant and or Teflon tape on the lil pipe plug in the back of the pedestal I have been trying to fix this thing for a week now
