Anyone know where I can pick up a new oil pickup?
Also been checking the bearings , look good so far.
I just bought the "oil screen" (which is the "pickup") from O'Reilly and another from AutoZone, (long story), but it appears to be the right one. You have to explain to the the folks behind the counter, exactly what it is you're looking for, as they will try to give you an oil filter... Idiots!!!
This piece doesn't look exactly the same on the screen portion, but I had my machinist look at it, and he said it was perfectly adequate. It was about $6.
Just make sure they give you the piece for VIN code 7.
