Question on my SC oil pump. Should the pickup tube have play where it enters the pump body? Mine has 2mm play where I can rotate the tube and about 2mm play in and out of the pump body.
Seems like this play could be by design ensure the pickup tube fits just right into the sump filter screen, which is a separate, non attached part. This is not the later attached screen design.
Is this play a design feature, a problem, or nothing?
Mine has very little of the black material left (shown on this pump).
Thx
