Oil Galley Pathing? I have timing guide debris in an oil galley, trying to fish it out!

[Jtegg007]

As the title says, no idea how, but I got a little round chunk of old timing guide into an oil galley. Found it after a complete rebuild, primed the motor and had no oil to the driver side head. Tried back flushing, it was rock solid. Put 120psi to it and got it to clear, but quickly became plugged again. Pulled out the oil sender and stuck in a borescope and could see the piece, but in trying to fish it out I accidently pushed it deeper. I primed the pump again to try and flush it out but apparently it was behind the port from the oil pump/ where the oil originates from, so now its flushed to somewhere on the passenger side. Anyone have a break down of where all the galley plugs are?

Piece exiting the port that leads to Driver Head:

Another view as I fished it out of the port:

Ended up on the wrong side of the hook and got pushed further into the port, this is the last photo I have of it:

Is it plastic? If so straighten you hook heat it up , melt it in to plastic let it cool and pull it out. if it's metal try a magnet

I'm not in a good headspace for searching right now, recovering from surgery...
But I would be looking at books or websites on modifying for high performance.
If you find a youtube vid you think is appropriate, reach out to the vid maker?

I might not have described it well enough. That last photo is right before i primed the pump again. After priming the pump, i can no longer see the plastic piece. It washed towards the passanger side of the block.

I just looked in my ebay pdf service manual... no oil flow diagram.

@sgtsandman might have it hard copy.

And ummm... unless I missed it... we are talking 4.0L SOHC correct?

 

[Jtegg007]

yes, sorry. Ford 4.0 SOHC out of a 2007 ranger.

@Uncle Gump & @Jtegg007 I'll try to remember to look in my 2011 service manual tomorrow. I'm not sure if it will show a schematic for that or not but I haven't been looking for it either.

I looked up for anything dealing with the lubrication system. The only direct illustrations are for the oil pan, the pick up, and the oil pump. I can post up a picture but I don’t think it will be helpful.

Well, I know it's unlikely, but if anyone has a blown 4.0 with the timing cover off and would be kind enough to drill out the two plugs on the passenger side to see where they lead, that'd be incredible. I can borescope from the inside and see the upper one has a short channel, but then it turns again and i cant see around the bend (I assume the channel leads to the lower passage). I know this is where my plastic piece went but I don't know what it's blocking now.
This truck is a 2x4, and my gut says this passage feeds the balance shaft bearings that I don't have, but I don't know where the oil goes without the balance shaft? Shouldn't it be plugged or never drilled?
