Today I cut the oil pick-up tube. I had to do it twice because I noticed (thankfully before welding it) that with a metal tube the cow-magnet loses almost all its power, so I replaced it with a stainless steel tube and now it's better. I took a slightly bigger diameter tube and hamered it on the stock pick-up, then I weld it so it won't move.
By the way with my Lang oil sump and stock drain plate : I cut the tube to have about 6mm clearance between the end of the tube and the top of the plate, is that enough?
And I cut it "straight" instead of "beveled", is that ok?

I wasn't happy with the way how the studs sit on the oil sump, so I did this (it will go on the inside and will be held by the plate bolts). It will be removable so I can clean it when changing the oil, and I made sure it will not make a "closed ring" around the oil pick-up to keep a good oil flow.

No big news since last weeks, I was waiting for the NPT tools to tape the oil plugs on the case (I received it today so work will start again). I did some wrinkle paint testing, I have to bake it in the oven now  |

Today I drilled and taped all the oil plugs. Just a bit more finishing and a big cleaning and the case will be ready for paint.

Thanks guys Another stupid question, about the cylinders and pistons numbers. With the Mahle 90.5A kit, I can decide like I want wich cylinder/piston will be the #1, #2 etc... ? They all have the same markings so I figured out they are all the same (I know I have to not swap a piston with another cylinder). Or basically I'd like to know if all the 4 cyl./pistons of my Mahle kit are all the same |

this only matters when the pistons&cylinders are used items, right? |

Yes, they can go in any hole. I tried every piston/cylinder in every hole until I found the combo that made my deck height the closest.

Nico, is that the wrinkle paint or something else? For the case it's satin paint : http://www.vhtpaint.com/blackoxidecasepaint.html (doesn't need to go in the oven). I used the VHT wrinkle only on the oil sump and breathing box cap (and maybe I'll paint the manifolds with it). |

Thanks Zach So I'll check that when it will be time to set the deck height. I should elaborate... Measure your cylinders from case seating surface to head seating surface. Two of mine were .002" shorter than the other two. In this case, I made sure that the 2 like pistons and cylinders stayed on the same side so the heads sealed correctly. |
