External Oil Pump Pick- Up for Alm Wet Sump Pans

The External Oil Pump Pick-Up for Alm Wet Sump Pans (MPN 24865) is purpose-built for custom engine builders and performance enthusiasts running aftermarket wet sump oil systems. This component addresses a critical challenge when upgrading to modified oil pans: ensuring reliable oil supply to the pump under all driving conditions. Whether you're building a stroker engine, converting a dry sump system back to wet sump, or upgrading cooling capacity with a larger pan, this pick-up tube maintains consistent oil delivery to prevent starvation and bearing damage during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

Designed specifically for compatibility with Alm-brand wet sump pans, this external pick-up assembly features optimized inlet geometry to maximize oil flow while minimizing cavitation and aeration—two common failure points in high-performance applications. The compact footprint (3.4 x 3.3 x 8.8 inches) and lightweight construction (1 lb) integrate cleanly into tight engine bays without compromising pan mounting or creating packaging conflicts. The external mounting design allows for straightforward installation and future serviceability, unlike internal baffle systems that require complete pan removal for inspection or maintenance.

This pick-up is essential for builders experiencing oil pressure fluctuations, surge tank requirements, or inadequate supply at high RPM. It's particularly valuable in supercharged, turbocharged, and naturally aspirated performance builds where oil demand exceeds stock pan pickup capacity. Installation pairs with your existing Alm wet sump pan to create a reliable foundation for engine protection, giving you confidence during dyno sessions, street driving, and track use.
