[QUOTE="Stoopid Jeep, post: 436434, member: 20049"] Random note: A few years back ...I guess it was quite a few years now (funny how that happens) Melling shipped a batch of oil pumps that had metal shavings inside them. Apparently they didn't get cleaned out properly from the factory. SOURCE: My friend Dennis, the engine builder. Because of this, I always disassemble and inspect new oil pumps, then pack them with assembly lube before installing them. Also, prime the oil system on a new build. PPS ALWAYS WELD IN THE PICKUP TUBE The only engine build I ever had go wrong was due to a pickup tube falling out, on a customer's boat. That sucked. I fixed it $$$(built him a new motor)$$$ [/QUOTE]
