 Thanks, Carlos |

I dont see the gasket that goes between the "can" and the engine in your picture, you will need that.
Also the oil screen can be modified (trimmed) to fit inside the can. |

Call any of the normal places and you can probably get one for under a buck. You might be able to reuse the one from your sump, but that is poor form and you might get a leak that way. I'd not bother with the screen though. Any chunks in your case big enough to get stopped by the screen and your engine has already bit the dust. Zach |

Zach I've seen a rocker arm clip break off and get sucked in through the suction tube and break the oil pump stud off and seize the engine in a matter of seconds.... put the pool screen back on LOL!!! |
