Not Ranked
oil pump pickup height
Guys,
In the process of putting the oil-pan on a 289"/347".
It there an optimum height for the end of the oil-pickup from the bottom of the pan ?
Checking the pickup height with clay, the cork side rail gaskets laying in place but not compressed, it can range from about 0.20" to 0.40".
Was going to split the difference and try to get 0.25-0.30, but thought I would see what some of the engine builders prefer.
FWIW the pan is an AVIAD 8qt. The engine is a hydraulic roller that should top out at 6000 or so.
Would really like to get this thing buttoned up today.
Thanks, Pete
