HI
Burton power do a low sump in alloy. Its for RS2000 NOT CHEAP.:eek: Its not to hard to cop the the pinto sump as the book. Give it a go.:D |
How much height do you want to save? I am just in the process of chopping mine down and you can only take about 20-25mm off before the sump is level with the bottom of the bellhousing.

i sliced nearly 45mm off mine. its 35mm to the same height as the bell housing. i went the extra 10mm as scraping the sump on a speed hump has different results to scraping the the bell housing

The most crucial thing is to fit a separate oil pressure gauge, easy to fit and mainly for peace of mind, just so that you know that the engine is getting a good supply of oil. Not fitted on the sierra dash and once the oil light comes on its certainly too late. AndyH |
Anyone who know the height of Burtons sump pan??
I called them but they had problem to understand what I mean. My English is not the best!!:D :D Probably I will cut the original sump for about 35-40mm, it should be nice with some buffles inside. Anyone who had pictures on a buffled sump?? Thank for the help Janne :) :) |
hi
You will not need to baffile the pinto sump. The pick-up will still be in the main oil pan. Im on my 3rd pinto sump as i have had some runins with rocks a speed humps. |
