    More questions of fixing a rear main oil leak

    Sorry about that earlier question. I was referring to this post. I have a normally oiled rear main. I tried to use a 1/4" tube to use as a shim, but it seems too big to use, so I am asking if it was really an 1/8" tube that was being used and if it was flattened or left as a tube.

    Anyone used oil pump shield?

    Has anyone installed the Oil Pump Shield (A-6631) that is sold by Synder's and MAC? It was introduced in 1931 along with a lowered oil tray. The service bulletin for July-August 1931 says that the shield and oil tray must be installed together, not one with the other. Is this shield different...
