Default Re: Choice of oil pumps

Just to be on the safe side, make sure you check the fit of the pickup basket in relation to the bottom of the pan before you bolt everything up. Sometimes the basket will hang down too far and be forced against the pan causing the pickup tube to break. The result would be no oil pressure. From what I've read, you want about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch clearance with the pan.
