Oil pickup
This is from a RWD SR20 http://zilvia.net/f/1759919-post72.html
What does our oil pickup look like? Is that something our pickups could benefit from?
Heres a sr20det tip if you guys dont know this allready.
The stock sr oil pickup is only tack welded in 4 small spots.
This leads to vibration breaking those tacks and the oil pickup falling off. The end result is a blown motor.
The correct way to solve this is to completely clean the metal on the pickup, then using a tig welder (no spatter), weld a thin non penatrive bead around the pickup tube.
Then since there was heat applied to the gasket surface it needs to be decked. You can do this with a file.
