Scolar sump for Zetec
Hammy360 - 9/4/11 at 07:38 PM

Has anyone fitted a scholar sump to a 2.0 1999 zetec ? THe oil pick up fitting is what I dont get, how do you get it to fit properly?

Are you fitting it to a silver or black top ?

They are for/from a silvertop but will fit a black top with four 20mm spacers and the four bearing cap bolts from a silver top. These are 20mm longer and have studs to mount the windage tray and the pick up pipe.

cheers, but windage tray is fine. Its the pick up pipe I have an issue with, Scholar did say theres a change in the zetec that you might have to overcome but Id like to know if anyone knows what that is

Sorry, missed that bit earlier, I have a blacktop and have bought the scholar kit

Whats the problem ?

The pick up bolts to the oil pump and there should be a leg on it that bolts to one of the windage tray bolts.

No its not quite right, Scholar told me on the phone when I ordered that there is a difference in some of the engines after a certain date. Annoyed that if they know that that they dont make two different pick ups
