TomB Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 And does it need changing at every oil change on a dry sumped 1.4 K? Sorry for borrowing thread!! 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buda Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I seem to recall it being every 12000 miles (thats the case on a wet sump 1600 K anyway) not sure if this helps though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Its a good idea to change at every oil change. See X777CAT here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefoster Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 The interval is more frequent for carb'd cars as they put more fuel into the oil. 12000 would be fine for a K I would think. Don't think even K series dry sumps have foam in them... Why? The foam is cut to shape and for the pick up pipe / oil pool hole. This would be different VX to K I would have thought. /Steve My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

CHRIS CLARK Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Bl%dy hell. That seems rather pricey. The last foam baffle-sump-Rover K I collected from them was 28/09/2001 and cost 6.89 + vat giving a grand total of 8.10 ukp Clamshell Club Founder Member.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 31, 2002 Leadership Team Share Posted October 31, 2002 Likewise Chris. Bought 2 together last time because of the B&^^%y postage. They were £7.00 each, but total was £22!!! Not cut to shape though!!! Everytime I copy the old one the shape must change a little...it is supposed to be the shape of Australia isn't it???????? Anybody have a template - one posted on the net would be an idea if anybody's up for it? Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
