exactly. Mine had bits of gasket sealant, a lot like the blue rubbery goop dripped on the motor when I received it. The VE pickup has the metal hood around it, crud gets easily caught inside between the hood and screen. Note the pickup tube is larger in diameter from the non and rr sr.

^^True. ANY import motor with even the slightest dent in the oil pan that I've received (all of them had 'em) I took off the oil pan and banged out the dents and then some to give extra room for the oil pickup. Extra insurance.
