Looking for 1.8 CVH sump/oil pan
 

Hi All,
Slowly amassing parts and getting on with the build, I have come a bit stuck on whether to try and fix the aluminium sump on the Zetec engine I bought or get a cvh tin one. Does anybody have one for sale or know where one is available for less than 159.99 I was quoted from Sierra Shack?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the guy must have quoted you for the whole car:confused: :D

That's what I thought, it did include the pick up pipe, maybe it was made of gold :D :D :D

look at blacktop 2 part sumps.

will do, thanks for the help :D

Its been done but its nasty and at least 20 years old. If you have a black top then its just as easy to weld the bottom half of it. It wont fit a silver top though.

just one this on the bay, 22 squids plus postage, hope it fits the silvertop.

bad spelling, should be ' won '

:D :D :D

They can be made to fit, just do a search.

thanks, will do.

Happy to be proved wrong but I am sure it wont. The bearing caps are 20mm deeper on the silvertop.

Every day is a school day :rolleyes:

When I offered one up it needed a bit more chopping than that.

Sumpthing learned :D

Oh no not again:o :o

I think I will have a read, when I recieve it, I will go on tha assumption it will fit......:D :D

Indeed they are,
Silvertop sumps fit blacktop but not the other way round

The 1.8 CVH sump does not fit silvertops ideally, either. The rear crank seal arc has an about 4 mm gap, the front about 2 mm. The CVH gasket is thick in both arc sections. What I did cut down most of the gasket's width in the front crescent, so that the remaining strip compresses to the right thickness. Plus a liberal amount of silicone sealant.
