It’s not required, but you will have a much larger chance of success with RTV at the corners of the gaskets

A standard pump will work good with that but you just need to adjust the pick up height

@@iowadiy6361 OK thanks so much bc it came with the new pick up

Yes, that will definitely need to be measured and set

@@ant10623 alot of the bigger pan/pickup combo are matched perfect for most oil pumps. Some will be different if using a hv pump so need to check with where u got the pan to make sure what the pickup was designed for either being stock or hv flow. But usually the pickups match the pan just right for clearance, of course always check your clearance to be sure. But if upgrading from stock size pan you will always need to find a matching pickup, stock ones won't for these 7qt drag pans

@@jjmccloud OK that's 👍 for the info.
