Hi people, title says it all. I have a sump that has been badly modified and I get oil starvation.
Im in the warrington area.

any pictures of the one that is causing the problem we may be able to suggest how to sort it out.
No pics saved unfortunately. The pick up area has been shortened but to retain capacity, the forward section has been depended so all the oil rushes
into the front section. There is a baffle over the top of this front section to allow oil back down but there are far too many large holes and it does
naff all.
I would really like to try and modify my own as its all about the tinkering!
To stop the oil rushing to the front i put a 3in open s/steel hinge across that way it can flow back to the pickup
And one more thing on your old sump how big is the gap between the sump floor and the pick up pipe you want 8-10mm
ps i have modifide 4 or sumps this way for pintos
Jacko
Stand to be corrected but i thought the pickup had to be closer than 8-10mm more like 4-5mm.
I would be interested in a consensus as i have an expensive 2.1 build nearing completion, the original short sump has about 3mm clearance and i need
to mod a Cosworth pickup pipe to fit this sump.
So i can build in the correct clearance as required.

Thanks chaps! Looking at the set up which is currently on the car, I have measured the gap at more like the 5mm mark. Either the existing sump mod is
craaap or my brakes are fabulous, hmmm braking hard does make my face ache!
Track day is looming, I cant wait. Thanks again all.
