Re: [TR] Low Oil Pressure and Engine Noises

["John & Pat Donnelly" <pdonnel1@san.rr.com>]

The screen has a big hole (thumb nail size) right underneath the pickup tube
inlet. Looks like abrasive damage (vibration?). The hole was right
underneath (sump side) of the tube.

Did Ken describe how to weave the wire, since I was thinking about ways to
keep the tube centered in the screen and avoid the abrasion issue again? 

The sump looks OK with no dents that may have pushed the screen up.

>Ken Gillanders wrote a tech tip many years ago of reinforcing the screen by
looping some copper or stainless steel wire through the screen and around
the pickup tube.  It seems to help keep the wire from breaking where it's
soldered to the tube; I assume by keeping the screen from vibrating as much.
