Perkins A 3.152 oil pump questions.

We are putting a new oil pump on a Perkins 3 cyl diesel and have some questions. Forst, we bought new pick up and supply pipes, along with new olives and nuts. How tight should these be tightened? ( Both on the pump and the block.. ) I assume the olives will expand when tightened, so all will be snug??

Also, the stabilizer bracket the bolts to the main cap was not attached to the pickup tube, so after we get it all straight and marked we are going to braze it on? Do these always come seperate to be assembled on the engine!!

Thanks for the help & take care,

Will

Thanks for the rreply. I have the new style with the strainer attached to the tube ( pickup i guess. ) I also have the bracket wirh a nut welded on it. Is there something else that I am missing?

Thanks & take care,

Thanks for the info. Just to confirm I am using the new style pickup with the screen attached ( welded right on ) the pipe. So this should all work then

It is an old style MF35 Perkins 3 cyl diesel block with the rope seal. The only serial nubers on it are CL 1807534C and C 3711289

Thanks & I will get the dealer to order these parts for me!!

Take care,

Will
