lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 mike, the baffel sits flush with this metal sheet thing and i looked at it and felt it, if it were bent it would be noticable by feel would it not? i mean it would either get thinner in one spot an wider, like a pinched tube but it feels perfectly round, BUT i will take it off an take a pic ok? :) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 ok heres some pics, it does look bent at the base but it looks like its factory there ya go mike, i wish i had some sr20DE pics to look at also but i dont, it looks fine to me, but if all else fails im like 99% sure i could use a DE pickup tube Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sorry, it doesn't look right to me. Looks like it should be bent downward some... ...and here you can see a kink starting near the socket, no way would Nissan make it like that. Also the mushroom shape end looks bent again I don't think Nissan would have made it look like this. Maybe I'm just picky but I sold my old 340 motor to a friend who rebuilt it. I had taken it apart but left the oil pick up on the block. Likely it fell over and bent it up. It was rebuilt but the lifters clicked bad and the oil pressure was low. Lasted a week and threw a rod through the block. My friend wasn't happy with the builder and neither was the builder. I figured it out months later that a bent oil pick up was likely the cause.

lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 ok well maybe you have some suggestions on how to fix this one? or should i just run to the garage tomorrow (its a buddys an its down the road) an get one of my other pick up tubes an try that??

datzenmike Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Measure the depth of the oil pan... compare to the pick up, it should be down close to the bottom. I'm just worried about it. Here's my truck one. I know they are totally different but the pipe is round and the end sits in the bottom and is horizontal to it. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/720stuffZ24swap007Large.jpg[/img]"] Edited February 25, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I agree with Mike. Every Nissan one I have seen was mandrel and doesn't have a choke point like that. You could bold it on tight and CAREFULLY pull it down a little bit by hand. Even if that is stock though since the pan has been taken off anyway I would sort that choke point at the bend out. You plan to run a revy motor no doubt at higher rpms. Oil volume is paramount. To check the clearance to the pan you can set a wad of silly putty or similar on the end of the pick up and just press the pan on and take it off, then you know the gap. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 new!!! throw that one out! :thumbdown: Also the mushroom shape end looks bent Lasted a week and threw a rod through the block.

72240z Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here I made this while waiting for my pizza bites lol. I would at the very least try to straighten out that neck and while at it open the mouth up a little bit. You can see how even Nissan improved on its design for better flow. The pics are off nico.

thisismatt Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Looks bent to me Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 thanks for the comparison pics guys, i will get the de one from the garage an post pics to compare Quote Link to comment
Pedro Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not sure why you would take the chance with something like that, sure fire way to starve your motor of oil. I reckon the easiest way to fix the holes in the sump is brazing it with a hot flame and brass stick. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Probably sits in that dimple in the bottom of the pan. Good going. Looks like the new one has a support brace on it. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 ya i dont know if its a support brace or what cause it looks like its only tacked on there.. it kinda looks like its to route oil commin down to the tip or something i dont know.. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 It's for support, the oil will always find the way down to the pan. ;) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 lol well i know that but i jus thought it was to direct the oil through the center hole thing better.. this is an old pick, i havent put the new one on yet Quote Link to comment
