I'm putting together the engine for the charger right now. Actually, it's completely together with the transmission bolted to it, and I'm just mentally checking everything in my head. Everything checks out except for the oil pickup. Do the commonblock oil pickups use an o-ring of some sort? One didn't come with my pickup, so I didn't think to put one in.
Do I need some sort of o-ring on the pickup, or do I need to put some kind of sealer between the pickup and the pump? I can fix this quickly before I put the engine into the car with the engine suspended on the lift, or I can put it into the car and fix it then if need be. I'd just like to do this right so I'm not going back to fix a bunch of things after I get it running. I'd rather concentrate on real problems instead of ones I created for myself.
I'm just glad everything is coming together.
