Sump with extra capacity and hinged flaps to prevent oil surge during hard cornering. You would expect a brand new part to be ready to install out of the box. Ah No. Always test fit prior to running the sealant bead... This portion of casting must be removed to allow the sump to fit around the baffle plate.
Update: Oh and guess what... the grub screw drain plug leaks... will have to drop oil and sus this out.
Bro this looks familiar...is this one with shabby drain plugs off TM?
ReplyDeleteYeah thats the monster. I am your test pilot on this one. Will have to use some liquid metal to reshape the thread or perhaps try another type of bolt with copper washer like factory.
ReplyDeleteFollowed me into the ditch Matt. Let me know how you go haha.
ReplyDeleteDrifting at HD looks fun! Should fix my shit up quick smart :D
Ditch? I did manage to go backwards into the sand trap at the sweeper at over 100 and took half of it home in my under tray haha. Slows car down really well.
ReplyDeleteYeah man get your machine running. Tidy that bay while engine is out too. Remember preparation is the key to reliability on the day.
just put some thread sealant on the grub screw and it'll be sweet, seems to work with my one fine
ReplyDeleteOk, cheers. I'm making a thick aluminium under tray for protection. Can probably get a few from the sheet if anyones keen.
