In search of: 1924 special six oil pan with sump cover.

[J Tryloff]

I'm searching for a good condition oil pan and sump cover for my 24 special six. I think it's the same pan for big six. My pan is heavily dented and the cast sump area has quite a few chips and cracks in it. I have repaired the dents from the inside, but it's still pretty ugly. I am very hesitant to attempt any repairs to the cast area for fear of further damage or leaks. 

 

Also, is there supposed to be a screen on the oil pump suction tube? If so, I would like pictures of that if they're available please. 

 

Thank you. 

Jared.

I fixed what I have as best as I could. I hammered the sump cover flat again and used new hardware with a new gasket from olsens. The cast piece is pretty beat up, so I also traced the gasket onto some 1/8 cork incase it leaks. 

 

I'm still interested in a better conditioned pan, if one comes available.
