Check your oil pick up tube
Check your oil pick up tube
I'm sure some of you already know this, but as a reminder... check your oil pick up tube. Its a small investment to protect your engine.
Its apparent the oil pick up tube fails on the EJ25 motor at 30 to 40k miles. I just replaced mine and it was cracked half way around the tube where the flange connects to the block. There is a trend of this failure on IWSTI and NASIOC.
Just a PSA.

It was about 3 hours of labor total. Could be done in less.
I need to rebuild the engine again. I'm looking for another alternative to the OEM pick up line. Cant afford to loose another build.
