Thread: DE oil pickup tube on a VE

so i got my ve, then when i got it off the crate i noticed the oil pan was smashed




so i fixed the oil pan, well it does have a small hole but my friends going to take that to work an fix it for me..




then another friend mentioned the pickup tube.. i did think about it, an did look at it but it looked fine.. until i took it off anyways..






so i want to put a DE oil pickup tube on there.. pretty sure it will bolt up, any negitive effects i may want to know about tho?

Pic thanks to Ashton.

Here is the difference in oil pickups. L to R highport, early RR and Late RR. They all differ in height which could affect you in pickup if you stay with the VE pan. I would try to put a wanted ad for a early RR pickup or check some part outs.

greg v has the pan on sale

thanks for the pics, i got the pan straightend out its just the pickup tube i gotta worry about now, wonder if i can carefully straighten the one i have

Match the pickup with the oil pan. Since you have a 2.0 VE, get the pickup and oil pan from the USDM RR.

The tube diameter is different on the VVL engines. It is the same as a GTiR oil tube diameter. If your tube is messed up, get another stock one from Greg V.

He speaks the truth. There you can get factory freshness for 65 bucks or so...

my friend is going to fix the oil pan for me so thats taken care of, oh an he's going to try to fix the pickup tube but if he cant i will get one from greg, im not going to take any chances, if the pan wont hold fluid or the pickup tube has a leak or something i wont even try usin em.. thanks for the help fellas.. an for a reward..
