Stumped by the Sump
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 6:17 pm
The adventure continues............, The sump on TC2850 has an oil pickup
that is about 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. There is a copper
like screen that fits up inside to strain the oil. I found what looked like the
remains of a gasket where the "housing" and screen lid come together.
Question 1, was that a gasket or just 50 plus years of crud? If it is a gasket,
does anyone have a part number?
Question number 2, is there any reason not to use spring washers on the 2
bolts that hold the nearby baffle plate in place? I found none there but it
seemed fairly tight when I removed it for cleaning. As ever, thanks, Tom TC
2850, disassembled.
