Greetings
I need to fish through my oil sump with a magnet to try and find the missing piece(s) of a cotter pin that departed from one of my pmags (Grrrr...). I had planned on accessing the sump from all possible ports to maximize my chances, but in looking at the photo of the sump interior below I got off the internet, it appears that perhaps I really wont be able to gain access through the oil screen pickup port? Looks like there is a special cavity built in to the sump where the screen sits. Not clear to me how the surrounding oil enters into the screen area.
Obviously I haven't previously examined the inside of the sump before. Thanks for any insights you can provide.
thanks
Erich
