Re: Oil Pan fitment
For those of you following along, I took the pan off to see what was going on inside. I am NOT impressed by the work of the rebuilder. I have no idea if they did the butcher job on the pickup, or if it was like that before they even worked on it. I did have to hammer a putty knife in between the pan and block all the way around because they siliconed the gasket on. I found a new (used) pickup with screen that I am going to install on the pump. I have also located another oil pan that is correct for the block. To add to the issues, there is a broken oil pan bolt in the block. I'm very disappointed with the work that was done on this block. It looks like I also need to helicoil one of the block drains as well.
