Custom sump

[Bijl]

Had the problem of the sump hitting the draglink when you go over the smallest bump.
I dont want to start talking about the guy who did the engine conversion because I`l just start swearing!

Had the option of lifting the engine with the engine mounts but there was no more clearance on the firewall or at the bonnet.
Could have done a bodylift and then lift the engine, but the bodylift will have to wait.
So I decided to make a new sump. Here goes...

[Bijl]

Does anyone know how to make pictures smaller? Cant get them on because they are too big!

Simon, read here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10068&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Awesome! Thanx ooms!

[Bijl]

Look closely you will see the small gap between the sump and the draglink.

Shoe!! Dit lyk na 'n probleem ja!!
Watse mouter het jy in?

[Bijl]

I removed the original sump and adaptor plate, cleaned it nicely and filled the sump with 5l of water to check the level of the oil.
Recorded the level of the oil from the engine block and roughly calculated the dimentions of the new sump. The new sump must keep the oil on the same level.
Picture below is the original sump and adaptor plate with the new adaptor plate in design.

The motor is a Toyota 3C Turbo, which is a Japanese inport. 2.2l

With the new adaptor plate cut out and fitted just to see if everything fits. The oil pickup is the original.

[Bijl]

Now to start with the sump.
Cut out the ring which will me bolted to the adaptor plate. The sump will then be built from this ring.

[Bijl]

Measured all the clearances again and then started with the sump.

Slowly taking shape

Getting there

[Bijl]

Had the new pickup made. New one on the left and original on the right

[Bijl]

New pickup and new adaptor plate fitted to check if all is still well

From the pics, it looks like the sump would be making contact with the track rod and possibly the top of the axle banjo housing... not the draglink... the draglink is the rod between the J steering arm and powersteering box pitman arm...

Jy moet BAIE goed weld - olie kom op die kleinste plekkies uit!!!

Daai plaat lyk na 2mm of dikker, so mens kan hom maar looi met die welder...as hy die binnekante met CO2 welder doen of selfs braze hoort hy dig te wees

[Bijl]

Ja dis 2mm plaat, werk baie lekker en brand nie maklik gate nie.
Het die sump `n dun lagie olie gesmeer en toe voel water gegooi en gelos oornag. Geen lekplekke nie :o
Verf hom toe met Duram NS7, en siedaar.
Die foto maar baie onduidelik, en verskoon die water, het `n plas getref op die toetsrit.

[Bijl]

Thanx for clearing that Mr B, I dont know all the jargon jet.
