29hupp Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I bought my 29 Hupp almost 50 years ago but just started restoring it myself within the past year since retirement. I now have the engine back together and starting but still lots of work to do. I was reading an article in the Hupp Herald Vol.5-No.4 /1976 1929 Century Six Restoration Story by Carl Price (attached) which says there should be a gasket or seal between the oil pickup tube and the oil screen cover. I have neither. I am sure I can fabricate something but would like to hear what others have done to fix this problem. I am thrilled I stumbled on this article and would also like to know about any other issues that could cause problems.

29hupp Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yes I see that he welded a cup on top of the screen cover and pressed a seal into the cup. This is probably the easiest method. Finding a seal and cup that will work together might be time consuming. I am fearful of permanently attaching the cup to the pickup tube because of the difficulty of getting it in the exact required location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
