INSTALLING 2" OIL PAN

[greenbusa]

Hey guys, quick question, I'm installing a 2" oil pan and I replaced the pickup with the swivel pickup but what about the other tube that sticks down(union breather) do I take it out completely or do I cut it off enough to clear the swivel pickup?

Thanks Pinky, Thats what I did, but I was told today I should cut it off just above the swivel pickup. What exactly is it for?

[Mr Brown]

I cut mine enough to clear. Don't know what it's for.

it is a vent to the crank case vent
that is basically lets oil drain back down to the pan from the case vent

Thanks guys, what do you use for a gasket between the header and the turbo? and the tial bov flange? On my last setup there was a ss gasket on the header, on my one before that I made one out of .025 aluminum. On the bov it looks like it has a ring that seats against the flange
