Tip - Oil Pickup Tube Height

famous bob said
not so, 1/4 to 3/8". My swinging p/u is about a 1/2" . I have never torn a stock engine down, chevy or mopar that had it on the pan !!

Strange, every stock motor I've torn down did have it resting on the pan. For sbm, that's not very many, but quite a few jap bikes and a few other motors.

For a swinging pickup I can see why you'd need clearance
