Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
No, it became a very informative thread.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
One more thing I learned about yblocks, I’ve always had the one piece pick up tube. But I had a grommet at the pump I didn’t install properly back in the 60’s, and chased the loss of oil pressure for a week until someone clued me in. That’s the great thing about these forums. Spreads the knowledge despite distance and age.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
Kultulz-
I received the parts ordered from Rubber the Right way that you recommended. The oil pump seal they sent has NO metal crimp ring inside. It was just like the one I received from Concours parts and sent back.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
If you go back to the other posts about this subject, you will note that Ted Eaton the Yblock guru said that the plain rubber seal is the correct one (I posted his comments on this matter.)

Then why was their ILL with the sleeve? (because they used a photo of a FORD SERVICE PART instead of what they are selling). The sleeve prevents the seal from distorting within specified torque value. Did it appear the same as the original piece of crap? Quote:

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
I emailed the company about why their seal did not have the metal crimp ring as their photo shows, but have not received an answer. i found a NOS seal and I am waiting for its arrival to see what it looks like.
Can anyone explain how the metal ring inside the seal seals against the pipe when the large nut is tightened??

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
OK ... I have it ciphered out now ...
TED EATON uses BEST GASKETS I believe. The BEST GASKET SEAL we are discussing (275) must not have the compression sleeve. After ciphering on the BEST GASKET PARTS LIST (ENGINE OVERHAUL SET), it turns out PN 275 is the tube to pump seal and 175 is the pan to tube seal. If TED says that is the way he does it, so be it. Personally, I would search for NOS as if a leak did develop there, a sudden loss of oil pressure may be a result. I would also like to hold the FEL-PRO seal in my hand to examine it. I have a source of NOS. Let me know how you want to go. |

I would mount the tube securing it at the pan first while putting the tube and seal into the oil pump inlet to ensure the tube and seal are positioned correctly for the gland nut to secure the seal properly. Hopefully that explains it. You might also want to use this product on the gland nut/oil pump threads. It will seal the threads and keep the nut from backing out with engine vibration. https://www.permatex.com/seal-and-lock/ Last edited by KULTULZ; 02-16-2024 at 08:16 AM. Reason: ADD INFO |

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
I found two NOS seals last night. Will wait to see what they look like. Thanks for the explanation about the seal.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
This is what gets me -
Quote:
Obviously that ain't so. And then they show a photo of an correct FORD SERVICE PARTS SEAL and is not exactly what they are selling. What will you find with the rest of their product lines? And as time goes on and NOS parts sources dry up, it is going to be a lot worse for the enthusiast. It's enough to p!ss off the Pope ...

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
I have not heard a word from the guys that make the seal at Rubber the Right Way. So much for that big guarantee.

A vendor that has no customer service should be avoided at all costs unless it is your last gasp to hopefully source a hard to find item. At the least, concours responded and gave you a credit. I have read threads that describe once buying one of these CHI-COM GM BASED SLOPPY COPY disc brake kits, that once the buyer is having trouble the reply will be, " No one else (or your the first) has complained about it". If a vendor sells below quality parts such as off-shore low quality copies, it should be mentioned the source of that product in the ad. And it is not just a classic car problem. Try sourcing quality service parts on a late model (incl factory parts) and see what you run up against. - PART IN QUESTION -

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
When it comes to Ford parts, my experience with Rubber the Right Way is that they are simply resellers of Dennis Carpenter products.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
The manager of Rubber the right way called me today and apologized for the problem in the order. They are using the photo that Dennis Carpenter uses that shows the metal crimp ring. They buy their parts from Carpenter. Since Dennis passed, the quality and dependability of products has suffered greatly. The manager's name was Clinton. Again he apologized and refunded the total price including shipping for the order. Guess we'll just have to hunt for the correct parts.
Thank you all for your help and advise. I have yet to see any credit or refund from Concours either.

Re: Oil pipe question on side of oil pan
I received the correct oil pipe seal in the mail today. Located it on EBAY. Going to send a photo the the manager of Rubber the right way for his reference.
