    Take the pump back to him, tell him to do it right! Don't let him weld it until you check the clearance to the bottom of the pan....

    1/4" Is not good eough. I saw a demo engine with clear oil pan and clear oil pickup tube. At 1/4" from the bottom of the pan will show some cavitation (Tiny Bubbles in the Oil)in the oil. But 5/16 is the minium safe distance.
