Oil Pump/Oil Pan Installed

Time in Garage 3-1/2 Hours

A good day in the garage yesterday....installed the new oil pump cartridge. Pretty straight forward other than my not checking the oil pickup configuration before installing the cover so I ended up pulling the cover off one more time. Tolerances look good. I ran the oil pan sump bolts through another cleaning cycle utilizing my Eastwood tumbler. Applied gasket sealer to the oil pan gasket and installed the newly painted Oil pan- torquing down the bolts to spec. Satisfying to see the bottom end buttoned up. I applied some paint to the bolt heads for rust protection. Looks good too.
