#1 Will an A12 Sump pan fit an A14?

Simple question, yes or no?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, much appreciated. The sump pan on my A14 is badly damaged, and has been repaired with epoxy by a previous owner.. Leaks a bit of oil.

I have a spare A12 or 2, and will use a sump pan off one of those. Anything else that should be checked while i have the sump off?

I believe it will bolt up but your conrod bolts will hit on one side. I know its the case with A15's. One side of your A14 sump will have ripples in it to clear the bolts as the crank turns.
I could be wrong on the A14, but a simple look at your sump will tell you.

The simple answer is YES and NO.

The oil pan from a 1970 to '73 Datsun A12 engine, better known as the 1200 engine will not fit
The pan from the 1974 & onwards A12 will fit.
As far as I know, it's only the A15 engine that has dimples on one side of the pan to clear the con rods as the A15 has the longest stroke. I believe that the A14 rods clear the non dimpled sumps, so,... as long as your donor engines have the distributor under No, 3 spark plug, you should be OK.

I believe all A series sumps will bolt up to all A series. (A10 unknown)There is differences though. The dipstick will still fit with either sump but early A12 sump on any other higher A series will require the dipstick to slide past the edge of the sump. Atleast thats what I have encountered, books might say otherwise.There is a correct and incorrect gasket to use depending on which style of A series is being used. Using the wrong gasket on the late A12 - A15 will result in the dipstick being wiped clean on removal, this will then make it appear as though the engine is low on oil.
