Looking for a little guidance.... rookie question...

I am about to make-up an oil pick-up tube for a stef's pan.... 8" from rail to bottom of sump... figure I should leave about 1/2" - 3/4" space between pan and tube. This mellings M-select is larger than the last one... and current tube assy is about 1/2" too deep for my pan...

Does that sound about right? Suggestions.... comments???:confused: :confused:

1/4" running space between the pickup and pan is about right.

Thanks Rust!!

I set them between 3/8" to 1/2" like I read in my book by Da Grump (Bill Grumpy Jenkins). If the pickup is set too close there is the possibilty of cavitating the pump. http://www.micropump.com/tech_tips/cavitation.asp

Interesting article... thanks!
