That must have put back what you nicked of the bottom of the sump + a bit I would have thought Kev.
 Just need a bit of 10mm thick plate under that now for a skid plate ob

About right Bob ...I think it might be around 100-150mls ....gonna have to work out actual capacity once fitted along with oil cooler as the original specification will be well out the window by now.... silver soldered an extra oil return (unpainted T piece) this will be taking return oil from both camshaft galleries... it is my own personal mod .....as I understand at high revs this motor can suffer a backlog of oil in the cyl head that deprives the pick up in the sump, I think it has been done before tho....Got some paint on last night as well, so it is the crank to work on now.

kev little note. weld a 3-5mm plate on top of the tank to beef up the mounting for the pump, if you dont it will always leak fuel as i found out even the sender eventually leaks so worth doing both holes.
also the iva examiner may not be too happy about copper fuel line going through the diff bracket hole

finally finally finally got the bluddy timing cog off the crank.... knackered the oil pump tho (which does not matter since I have a new one to go on anyway)
strange set up the ca18det has a large cast cradle that keeps the mains caps on and also stops any twisting at high torque values which is probably why this engine has really good sturdy internals. here is that cradle
