Aftermarket oil pump pickup height issues
You want about 3/8" between the pickup and pan with that style pickup. Put some clay or similar on it and bolt the pan down with the gasket for an accurate reading. Mine was a little low (and lower towards the back of the engine) and needed bending slightly to get it sitting right. They are a bastard to bend - put it in a vise and use some heat.
