Ok well the results are in. The next time someone says they are loosing oil pressure under light braking and it’s a small Chevy; tell them to check the pick up. It appears that the 2 tack welded spots did not penetrate the cast pump. This is really pretty amazing as my friend and I were both in aw as we realized that I had continued to race the engine thinking it was just the oil going up into the timing cover. The engine would not drop pressure when I accelerated, turned left or right, or even in reverse. If someone does suspect that they have lost there pickup I would suggest obviously to open the pan up and check or at least ALWAYS keep it full until you can check. Well I had to replace the gasket anyways and now I am running the pan you guys were talking about I now have a CV Products or Champ Pans 1080 LTRR pan with the 5 trap doors and 3 crank scrapers. Oh yea and most important of all the pick up is now bolted on. Talk to you guys’ later thanks for the help everyone.
