Melling Press-On Oil Pump Pickup - Stock Pan - Small Block Chevy 155S
A new Melling pick-up tube/oil screen assembly provides the lubrication oil as well as protection for your oil pump from materials that find their way into the engine oil supply system. Contaminates enter your oil system via engine wear, extended time between oil changes and other internal engine sources. These contaminates can interfere with the proper oil flow and pressure spring functions resulting in engine damage and/or failure. Melling suggests that a new properly installed oil pump pick-up tube/screen be a part of every oil pump installation. Several Melling oil pump applications are offered with an oil screen included.
Vehicle Applications:
Melling Engine Parts got its start soon after World War II. As time went on, the Melling Product line grew even stronger into the comprehensive product line it is today. The Melling Select Performance brand line of performance engine parts was developed specifically for the hobbyist street rodder and the a weekend warrior racer. Melling Select Performance Oil Pumps have billet steel gears and cast, manganese phosphate coated housings. Some race versions have machined grooves to reduce cavitation at high RPM (grooves slightly reduce pressure at idle). Small block Chevy pumps include a Melling intermediate oil pump shaft. Melling is the world's leading manufacturer of precision performance oil pumps. Every Melling oil pump is 100% pressure tested. Idle and by pass pressure are checked to guarantee workmanship before every oil pump leaves the factory.
