350sdl saga continues
here is a picture of the oil pan as removed from a 1991 350sdl 3.5 with 163k miles on the speedo owned by richard parker of perry ga.
the bolt came from the oil baffel and the large oval washer use to be round and is a spacer for the baffel, the oil pump inlet sets in the small inter circle that has been traced by the spinning of the bolt as the oil flows to the pump. as soon as the small spring washer gets unthreader from the bolt it goes to the oil screen and works a hole and it passes to the gear drive and then breaks the pump. mb gets a f for this design,should never happen,that pump stops you have a bad crank and lots of small pieces. hope this helps some one. larry perkins lou ky 84 old cars |

i asked larry that questin
not too long ago. he said it is sucked up onto the screen in the same place over and over and it just works around there til it wears a hole and is sucked into the pump.
i really need to get the side plate off my 350 and check for loose parts. in the pan. tom w
