Oil Pump Screen Assembly

The Oil Pump Screen Assembly from SEALED POWER is a direct-fit replacement pickup designed for stock pan installations on AMC V8 engines. This critical component serves as the first-stage filtration point in your engine's lubrication system, drawing oil from the pan and routing it through the main oil pump. Without a properly functioning pump screen, debris can bypass the pump and contaminate bearings, leading to catastrophic engine damage. Whether you're rebuilding a classic AMC V8, replacing a worn pickup after a pan removal, or restoring a vintage muscle car, this assembly ensures reliable oil delivery from initial startup through extended operation.

Engineered by SEALED POWER—a trusted OEM-equivalent manufacturer—this oil pump screen assembly features a screw-in design that mounts directly into the stock oil pan, eliminating the need for adapter plates or modifications. The fine mesh screen traps ferrous particles, sludge, and manufacturing debris before oil enters the pump cavity, protecting the pump's internal gears and clearances. At 1.15 lbs and measuring 5.4 x 4.1 x 13.5 inches, the assembly integrates seamlessly with original pan geometry and OEM oil pump housings. This straightforward design means no special tools or machine work—installation requires only a basic wrench and gasket scraper for pan removal and reinstallation.

Restorers, engine builders, and AMC V8 owners benefit most from this pump screen assembly when performing routine maintenance or full engine rebuilds. It is compatible with stock AMC V8 oil pans and original pump housings—verify fitment with your specific year and displacement before purchase. Replace the assembly whenever the pan is dropped for service, during engine overhaul, or if the existing screen shows corrosion or particle accumulation. Pair this with fresh oil, a new pan gasket, and a quality oil filter for a complete lubrication system refresh that protects your investment for years to come.
