Tip - Oil Pickup Tube Height
I found measuring the height (depth) of the oil pickup tube using a tape measurer a tad bit challenging. You have to use a straight edge across the block, then measure the tube height, then add the measured thickness, or actually stack, the multiple gaskets, windage tray, etc.
I read that Silly Putty works well when laid in the bottom of the pan, but who has that laying around?
This might be common knowledge, but wracking my brain brought me to rolled up aluminum foil. And it worked excellent. A bit of messing with the tube and I am about 1/4" from the bottom of the oil pan.
