millidon pickup..so no one asked, so i will....Is this an OE pick up tube?
i bought a 440 source pick up last year, trying to save a couple of bucks, but it was a POS, and was horribly poor product.
the treads were not cut pipe style, and it threaded in all the way, no friction at the end like it should.
ended up buying the correct Milodon PU, install went perfect after that.
I agree. Personally I'd never install pipe thread without any sealer. Except for brass fittings. The type of sealer depends on the application. I use loc-tite sealer on the oil pickup tube.Obviously our experiences vary. I have always used Permatex sealer on these tapered pipe threads (over 50 years now) and have never had a pick-up 'slightly back out'. That is, when a motor has been disassembled, the pick-up is still parallel with the pan bottom. To each his own...
Not missing anythingHow can it back out? The pick up sits so close to the bottom of the pan, it couldn't turn around if it tried.
Or am I missing something?
