Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
"Most aftermarket pumps come with a new pickup installed and brazed into position. If yours does not, you should braze the pickup into the pump body, positioned about 1/4-inch (0.250-inch) above the bottom of the pan. Before brazing it to the pump cover, remove the pin, spring, and relief piston from the cover so that the heat won't damage them. Put the pump securely in a soft-jawed vise and tap the pickup into the oil pump with a homemade tool or one from a specialty tool company. To measure the pickup-to- pan clearance, place a small piece of clay between the pickup and bottom of the pan and install the oil pan gasket in a mock-up (without adding sealant)."

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

The dent in the bottom of the oil pan never crossed my mind as a problem, other than pan holding maybe 4 7/8 quarts of oil instead of 5 qts. Today Brian and I were talking and it came up. we measured the dent and its position it is 7/16 deep and right below where oil pump pickup would be. So this is what I believe happened: 1. started car without flashing pcm. causing a lot of gas in oil. 2. broken wire in engine harness prevented VSS data from gettting to pcm. This caused engine to rev higher than normal and not shift correctly. 3. because of insuffecient room between oil pickup and pan bottom, high rev's caused pump to not to be able to deliver enough oil through engine, especially oil being thined by gas and not having the proper lubricating properties. Therefore bearing were run dry or close enough, to burn them and so forth the destruction. So I believe it was the combination of these mis steps that caused the problem.
