I still have the old seal. The strainer fit is the same with either seal. I measured the height of the strainer above the engine flange of 2.5 inches. I measured the internal depth of the oil pan of 2.75 inches. I then questioned if the strainer slips down so it is against the pan bottom, oil flow may be restricted not to mention pulling sediments up into the pump. I examined the oil pan bottom and there are three tabs in the pan bottom that prevents the screen from resting directly on the pan bottom. These tabs extend up about 3/8 inch and contacts the screen's outer rim. In fact, if I look closely at the screen rim, I can identify three shiny spots which indicates to me the screen and pan do contact. Now, is the pan designed to help hold the screen in place or were these tabs put there in case the screen came loose?
