Yeah. you need to get 10 or more posts before pic posting is allowed, it's to keep spammers under control... sometimes if the mods see you're genuine, you'll be able to post pics earlier. You're almost there!

well what i saw was that someone has welded on the old pick up tube ,, i am hoping that when it got hot it lost suction ,, so i am going back with stock oil pan and stock oil pick up tube ,, press in , do i need to use lock tight or silicon or anything whenn pressing it in ??? i know that the pick up need to be 1/4 off the bottom

thanks hope the pics come through

Go back and read my posts and Pat's posts. Nowhere did either of us say 1/4". Both of us said 3/8" to 1/2". Don't start making stuff up. With a thin pan, the bottom of the pan can suck up against the pickup and shut off supply to the pump. 3/8" to 1/2".

sorry about that will under stood now 3/8 to 1/2 got it ... now they did weld the tube to the pump and welded the tube together it had a couple dog legs in it ,, the pic would show it ,,,, i guess we agree on 40 weight for summer and maybe 10w 40 for winter,, i did get a wix filter ,,
