Ok,I installed the oil pump on the reman engine.I also installed a paper gasket between the pump and the block.Now the pickup tube didn't have any kind of o-ring where it goes into the pump but it fit real tight and I adjusted the bracket so the pipe would be held tight in the pump.Well I guess I need to go to Autozone and talk to them about it because they told me if I had any trouble with it for 1.5 years to bring it to them and they would have it repaired by their mechanic who I know of and he has a reputable buisness.This is the second reman engine I've put in this truck in the last three months and I really don't want anyone else working on it but it would void my warranty if I did so without telling them and I also am fed up with the reman company I have been dealing with.The first engine had a sticking valve and no lobe on the cam for a mechanical fuel pump so I jerked it out and got my money back.About two months later I got a call from the parts house where I had bought the first engine and they said they had a check for me.I went there and they had a check for me for $450.00 for my labor trouble so that helped some........dang now it's something with engine number two........same reman co.........next time it'll be a small block chevy for I never had troubles with them lol.Thanks all for the input.........Sincerely,Gerald
