Oil Pump Pickup --bits and pieces

Yer, I'm not sure Leonard , although the sump gasket is a graphite coated material and no silicone should be applied to it. I think it originated from the split cases and an over zealous Japanese assembly worker??

I only look for metal these days........ and havent found any. New crank / rods will go in soon. <i></i>
