GlastonburyVit Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Has anyone seen an oil pump pick-up that has a square cross section? Just had my sump off and was expecting to see one with a cylindrical cross section. Just asking out of curiosity as I've not seen one like it.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I think most of the older ones are like that......Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 There are three types, I've seen:1/ pump with a cast iron base that incorporates a tubular pick-up, going straight down.2/ Pump with a cast alloy base that incorporates a rectangular pick-up, going towrards the opposite side, so that it sits in the middle of the sump. The end has a pwerforated metal plate clipped to it, as coarse filter3/ Pump with cast base, that has a threaded tube fixed into it, at an angle as in 2/, with a mesh hemisphere filter on the end .But I don't know if these are all originally from Vitesse/GT6 engines, of if some come from 2500 engines.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
