i use play dough .i use small drop of engine oil in it to keep it soft been using the same clay for over 15 years still good . i use it mosty for setting the pick up to pan . but i keep the plastic bag that the pump came in use it to put over the pick up before i set the clay on the pickup keeps it from getting stuck on screen . then when set. i tig weld the pick up on with missile or silicon bronze watch for heat so you do not cook the by pass spring when all done wash blow clean check end play. first hit any small burs off with a stone . check that the by pass valve works freely . i could write a book on all the small deals i do to just a oil pump .oilpump pickup and pump drive but this will cover it for what you need on this build

would it be a good idea to change bearing while i am there i was told that it would be easy ,, the problem i dont know what year it is ,, i do have a motor number ( 3970010) ,, just thinking
