Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an oil pump pickup screen?
   The oil pump pickup screen is a filter that we locate at the end of the oil pump’s intake tube inside the oil pan. It prevents large particles and debris from being drawn into the oil pump.
2. Why should I replace my oil pump pickup screen?
   Over time, the pickup screen can become clogged with sludge, debris, or even damage. A clogged screen can restrict oil flow to the pump, which leads to low oil pressure and potential engine damage. Ultimately, replacing it ensures a proper oil supply.
3. Does this pickup screen come with the oil pump?
   We often sell oil pumps and pickup screens separately. This allows you to choose the correct screen for your specific oil pan depth and engine application.
4. How do I know if this pickup screen will fit my SBC engine?
   Although the S55S1 is a common fit for many SBC engines, it’s always best to verify the specific requirements for your engine year and oil pan configuration. Consult your engine’s service manual or provide us with your engine details for confirmation.
5. Is installation difficult?
   Typically, installation involves removing the oil pan, then the old pickup screen (which is usually bolted or pressed onto the oil pump intake tube), and installing the new one. Ensure you securely attach the new screen.
6. Where do you ship?
