I removed the pan and the screen on the oil pump is completely deteriorated. Cannot seem to find one. Any suggestions ? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,777 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,777 | I use a piece of the perforated aluminum metal intended for leaf traps over household gutters. It's much thicker and more durable than window screen, and it's pretty simple to cut and form it into an acceptable-looking strainer screen. Wrap it over the outside of the pickup can and secure it with a big radiator hose clamp. It will strain out the rocks, marbles, and other big chunks that could damage the oil pump gears.
