jp7 Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi all, i'm in the process of changing engines, Will the sump from the 1400 fit the 1800? I believe you have to open out the holes. Is there anything else that has to be done? Can i carry the dipstick over as well? Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Yes Andy, the sump holes can be opened up. The biggest problem is that the two long rear counterbored ones will need to be reccessed and reamed out to give a flat land area. Drilling alone would leave a 45* land. I suspect this would be OK but not a 'nice' fix. The dipstick and tube are a straight replacement job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Z Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 yup! you may also need the following :- drill out sump bolt holes New bolts or reduce head size of bolts swap oil pick up new sponge and baffle gasket Flywheel needs to be swapped as does clutch and cover new flywheel bolts remember reluctance pattern change if your using a newer mems you'll need a spigot bearing and sleeve too there's probably more smile.gif Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
