yeah i guess it wouldnt be too hard using some thin cardboard as a template, might look into it once the engines on a stand

nice crank scrapers, do they do that deli thin slice too?

Ahh it took a couple goes to get right on card and transfered profile onto the metal, pretty easy really. Mines not as fancy as those ones on the site.

crank scraper hey, seems like alot of effort to get them right

but i do like how they have a nice metal sump flange looking thing for the L series....just need one of them thats a bit thcker and i can make a new sump

Have a look at these crank scrapers too, this is what I have done with some stainless and it just sits across the top of the sump above the gasket.

ive got many ppl that can weld alloy for me so was thinking the same thing. and coz my brother got an alloy winged morroso(i think) sump for his 3tet

cant let him have a better looking engine than me

Yeah should be a pretty sound setup when im done, if Im ever done.

I did see sikyne's ad for fabrication work, images of winged alloy sumps went through my head...

ooo fancy

i was just going to cut up an L18 one and make it face forward

but will definately be making a new sump when the engines out and probably trying to use some kinda decent thickness flange to start with so my sump gasket wont always be leaking

Yeah its a pain, I nearly used an a12 one to lengthen it as they are steel but standard one will do for now, it all clears nicely now. I bought a oil fiter relocation kit and oil cooler, so will fit that later on and bypass and block the internal pickup, and run external pickup from the front of the sump straight to the oil pump cover.

you still using the alloy pickup sean?
think when i redo my sump i'll make up another pickup that runs along the engine more then comes straight down as the alloy one just going on an angle down to the pickup is really not the most space saving thing
