				Loose Oil Pickup Tube
			 
			
			I'm doing the final cleaning on parts for my 1980 911sc engine. 
		
	
		
	
			
				In cleaning the oil pump I have discovered that the oil pickup tube is loose in the housing and the black gasket around the tube is falling apart. Can I get some feedback on how best to deal with this? Do I simply clean and glue in place with epoxy? Do I need to take the entire pump apart and fix from inside the housing? Is this black gasket a stocked item?  |

			The black gasket is epoxy, just clean it up and re-epoxy it.
