Keith Eickhert
 
Does anyone know where he works now? I am not trying to start another bad thread on this subject and if it turns into that I will delete it.
I am only curious because we have a couple of his 10 quart oil pans with pick ups and they don't seem to fit up right. We called the # listed on the web site and after talking to one of there tech guys about the problem they said they would lay a pan up and see if they could see the same problem we were seeing. We called them back today and he said that he and Keith, laid a pan up and did not find a problem. "Keith" Keith who, Keith Eickhert the man said. He told us that he had nothing to do with the parts but was there everyday building motors. Is this true?

I'm dealing w/ Dave Smith @ KEE who has been quite helpful & knowledgeable. Jo @ Pantera is friends w/ KE & might be able to assist as well! Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

We are using a Moroso high volume oil pump and the pick up does not line up with out bending the bracket. after doing so to make it fit we measured the distance from the pick up to the botom of the pan and its about 3/4 to 7/8 of an inch from the pan before the gasket. They say its supposed to be 1/4" to 5/16" off the bottom.

Not sure what the part # is but I will find out tonight. Yes the square p/u. It is the 10qt pan that is on the web site, which I can't find right now. :rolleyes: If you are using this pan what pump are you using? We compared a Moroso and a Mieling(sp) and they both have the same problem.
