Does anyone, by any chance, have experience or recommendations regarding the use of Permatex sealant in the area between the oil pump and the oil strainer Assembly? I received a new pump and strainer and when installed, they are very loose.
Doing a little searching, it seems that these two parts should fit tight. I also found a YouTube link suggesting that permatex should be used...
Surprisingly, there are a ton of threads about the oil pump but not much on this section with the strainer.
Any help would really be appreciated. I'm not sure what my next steps would be but too try my luck and see what happens.
Note, I did post a similar thread last week related to this topic. I haven't received any replies, so I hope I'm not pressing my luck here. I've been researching this for over a week now, and I'm about ready to start over.
Thanks,
Bob
