Abstract
The present invention describes an engine having an oil pan (100) with a pick-up tube (140) for moving oil from an oil reservoir (105) to an oil pump (130). An engine crankcase (110) is connected to a front cover (120) having a front half (122) and a back half (124). The oil pan (100) is connected to the crankcase (110) and the front cover (120). A pick-up tube (140) is disposed along the oil pan (100) and connects the oil reservoir (105) to an inlet path (128) formed by the front half (122). A nipple (150) connects to the pick-up tube (140) to the front half by being inserted into an opening (129) of the inlet path (128). A gasket (160) is disposed adjacent to the nipple (150) and between the pick-up tube (140) and the front half (122). An alternate embodiment omits the nipple (150).
