Posted July 6, 20168 yr comment_498257 What are folks using these days for a gasket on the pickup tube? I've called four places and looked online. Are folks cutting a gasket from material? If so, what material are folks using? If the solution is making the gasket, I'm not worried about cutting out a good gasket shape but I want to be sure I'm using a good gasket material. Thanks!

July 6, 20168 yr comment_498262 My first rebuild it was in a felpro gasket kit for my 280. When I did my 240 I tapped one out of the gray gasket material you buy at chain stores. I like it best, its thicker. Lay a piece down and tap around the pickup tube then cut it out with a razor knife. I bought a hole punch at the Dollar Store for the bolt holes because I had to make a bunch of gaskets for the 2.4 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/55760-l24-l26-l28-oil-pump-pickup-tube-gasket/#findComment-498262 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using one of these until I saw a hole puncher for $1.

July 8, 20168 yr comment_498376 Permatex aviation sealant with it. I go a little overboard but who cares. If the pick up tube leaks it'll just go back in the pan I guess but I like " bullet proof " when I can.
