This book contains operating and maintenance instructions for the engine(s) listed
on the title page.
The life of your engine unit and the delivery of the high performance built into it will
depend on the care it receives throughout its life. It is the operator’s responsibility to
ensure that the engine is correctly operated and that the maintenance operations
outlined in this book are carried out regularly after the specified hours of operation
have been reached. We consider it to be in your interests to enlist the aid of an
authorized EDI Distributor, not only when repairs are required but also for regular
maintenance. Distributors are listed on www.EDI-DIST.com.
Regular maintenance will result in minimal operating costs.
Engines manufactured by Ford Motor Company are available through EDI
Distributors. When in need of parts or service, contact your local EDI Authorized
Distributor.
Where the terms “Right” or “Left” occur in this publication, they refer to the
respective sides of the engine when viewed from the rear or flywheel end.
Pistons and valves are numbered from the front or timing cover end of the engine
commencing at No. 1.
You may find that your engine assembly includes optional equipment not
specifically covered in the following text. Nevertheless, the maintenance
procedures outlined in this book still apply to your engine
It is important that you have as complete identification of the engine as possible in
order to provide the correct replacement parts. New engines being shipped include
a standard parts listing describing the parts which does not tell the owner the part
number. It remains a distributor function to identify the part number.
The key to identifying the engine is the identification decal mounted on the engine
rocker cover. That decal provides not only the engine serial number, but also the
exact model or type, options and S.O. (Special Order). The combination of that data
permits you to isolate the precise engine, build level and customer so you can
determine the correct replacement parts.
U.S.A. Engine Identification Decal
An identification Decal is affixed to the valve cover of the engine. The decal contains
the engine serial number which identifies this unit from all others. Use all numbers
when seeking information or ordering replacement parts for this engine.
