Tweet

i can see from the photo looks to be a china pick up you will need to fit the pick up to the pump body oil pump hole. the pickup can not fit some times I.D with to much press and there no drive point or shoulder to drive the pickup in to the pump. this is were you need to file I.D or trim pickup tube down with a belt sander so you do not beat the pickup tube to death . then set pickup for pan depth then i weld them on all the way around the oil pump body so it will not suck air . with by pass spring out so the heat will not screw the by pass spring up . i tig weld the pickup on .wash very good .blow out . make sure bypass is not hanning up .cover bolt i done so many that the TQ on them bolts is set in my hand wrench . it not much i use just a dab of red on them cover bolts its inch pounds it,s not much .OH and some of them pans need to be hit out from the inside the back part of the pan hang s up on the cap/oil pump .dry fit the pan.... rub were they over lap. i only used 3 or 4 .i do not care for them wash and blow all that stuff out very ..very good

Thanks Pat! one more, this is my first go around with a big block, the small hose from the water pump to the front of the intake, what is the purpose of this hose?
