<VV> Loose Oil Pickup Fit

[Frank DuVal]

If you must "drive" it in after applying the RTV it will work, but if it 
still a slip fit after applying the RTV, hot oil will prevent this cure 
form lasting.

Tinning with solder is more permanent. If the solder melts, the engine 
is running way too hot!
