Jellybean Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hey When doing the oil pump is it good practice to do the Sump strainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do you mean replace? A check over & cleaning should be sufficient in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Unless it's damaged or you are unable to clean the gauze to perfection it is re usable with a new gasket on the pipe to block interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just make sure the tin sump isn't dented and pushed up closer than the design distance to the strainer bottom. It's a critical distance, a dented sump can really impede suction. Too much clearance will higely impact the likelyhood of air pickup, and possible pressure drop or oil starvation.
