| Post subject: | Oil Pump |
using the SEARCH feature on this forum is frustrating. I am looking at different Oil Pumps and looking for input/information on a decent replacement. Melling shows a Standard and High Volume, I believe Standard would be fine for my driving. Does anyone sell a oil pickup for 225 slant 6? Any input appreciated. |

You can reuse your stock oil pickup. They are not meant to be replaced unless damaged. Personally, if my oil pump was working before I did engine work, I reuse the old one, and maybe throw a 1/16-1/10" washer under the cap where the pressure relief spring is to boost pressure a little. The drive gear failures on new oil pumps are supposedly due to inferior gear metal or heat treatment. Doc could also set you up with a nice blueprinted or rebuilt pump. Lou |

There is some good over-view info. in this article: http://www.slantsix.org/articles/oil-pu ... report.htm There were 3 different impeller sizes offered on SL6 oil pumps. As already noted, drive gear failure is the biggest issue we see with Slant oil pumps. DD |
