Oil Pump Spring
Have you ever seen an oil pump spring attatched to the oil pan instead of the pump? Seen one today. The spring seemed shorter than the ones I have seen attached to the pump.

Re: Oil Pump Spring
That would be yes and I agree with the length.
It seems that Ford experimented with this too. On mine the spring was sort of "rolled" into the bottom drain plug ring. I pulled it out but as with most of these sort of "one assembly" sort of arrangements, the spring wouldn't go back. So I used the little bar notched for the spring as is found on most of these. Joe K

Re: Oil Pump Spring
Yep, ran into that on my dad’s car just a couple days ago. It has a ‘28 pan with the pan clean out plate so I figured it was a ‘28 thing. What year is the car you saw it on?

Re: Oil Pump Spring
The engine I saw it on was a 30 model year. No shield on the oil pan tray which came a little later?

Re: Oil Pump Spring
I've found that on 28 engines with the clean out plate and with the later pans.
