Accepted they never fall at the level I want em.

 

I got three words out of that..

Engage the tang.

 

My favorite thing to do........

 

offroad vechicles dont think need to be as tight to pan as race cars poss denting in oil pan is greater ya know....just saying

 

How hard 'ya cornering with it?

 

I like em low, how many times are you driving you jeep on totally level ground?

 

But im twice as picky as the next guy when It comes to anything to do with my engines.

 

What am I suppose to see in this pic?

Sorry, I am a newb when it comes to working on internal stuff.

I want to replace my oil pan gasket and when I do I want to do everything else while I have it off like the RMS and this.

 

red line is the pick up tube going into oil pump ,green line is where its help on by a bracket and bolt no welding here cant fall off

 

Those things are made sloppy ive seen em where the pan wouldn't even sit flat and u have to bend the hell out of em. But no welding..

 

So if it bolts on, no welding! Woot in not that good ha ha

 

My to do list, see how I do ha ha

1 drain oil
2 drop pan
3 unbolt pump, and filter
4 shop vac the motor, sludge fun!
5 prime the new pump by shuving vasaline in it.
6 put new primed pump in
6.5 add pickup tube
7 swap rms
8 put in fel pro 1 peice gasket
9 add oil
10 pull dis and turn pump with drill
11 Check pressure and if good I'm done? (I hope)

 

I dont Vaseline my pumps, I dip em in oil for a few and put em on then prime

 

its factory renix no gonna be any issues just cleand and bolt back up

 

Did u check how far it was from pan bottom?
