oil pickup tube

[Kyle97turbo]

This might be a stupid question but how does the oil pickup tube install on a 4g63?? If someone had a picture that would be nice. I could only get it on one way that would still allow the oil pan to fit but in my haynes it shows it installed the other way around.

I know this is bringing up a dead thread, but it was perfect for what I needed to ask....Two questions on the pic above. Is that oil splash shield necessary? Does the pickup tube need rtv on the gasket? thanks

It's called a windage tray. There are benefits to running one, but it's not mandatory. 6-bolt engines don't use them from the factory like 7-bolt engine do.

I never did on mine. I did use coper spray on both sides of the gasket though. It's all personal preference.

O ok, I bought a new one from dsmgraveyard, they have it labeled as oil splash shield, because I thought i needed it, but the holes don't line up with it on my main girdle. it said on there site it was for 92-99. I already have the pain on and sealed up, so I'm glad i dont need to drop it again.I didn't use any sealant on the gasket just tightned it down...

Bringing this back. What are the bolts that hold the windage tray suppose to be? I can't get 2 of my 4 bolts to thread in nicely, I would assume all 4 should be the same?

Early '95 models show M6 x 1.00 mm x 12 mm long for the windage tray bolts.
Most 2Gs will likely have M8 x 1.25 mm x 16 mm long.

These are for the blue circles in the next post.

Yes, The 7 bolt 4g63 uses 6mm bolts to hold the windage tray, Looks like the EVO uses a 8mm

I looked at 4 DSM 7 bolts, all are 6mm

What should I torque them to?

Baffle plate bolt: 7 ft/lb

That's what i pulled up in my 2g torque spec sheet
