While oil pan is removed OR any time oil pan is removed it is a good idea to clean the screen inside the oil pump. If you do not know how long it has been since it was last done.

In the late 20s and mid 1930s many 2 to 5 year old low mileage engines were damaged from lack of oil caused by dirty filter screens in oil pumps. This is why regular oil changes with detergent oil are recommended.

This is even more important if car is driven for short and frequent trips where it never gets warmed up for any length of time.

Many screens get clogged up when fiber timing gears fail and the pieces clog screen .

When something like a timing gear fails do not just replace parts ... do yourself a favor and Find out WHY the failure happened.

The Service Bulletins cover many of cases like this!
