garybee Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If anyone has a damaged K-series sump they'd like to sell for a reasonable price I'd be interested in buying it. I'm pricing up having a batch of parts plasma cut and it would be nice to have a template without taking the one off my spare engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybee Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks for the link. I had spotted that but as it's leak free I thought I'd leave it for someone who needed a good one. A ruined one will do for my purposes so was hoping that there would be a smashed one hanging around in a garage somewhere.Ta though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed White Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I've thought about having a batch cast. Again, I need a sample sump to work from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybee Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 I thought about going the casting route but low numbers make that route a bit uneconomical. If I go with a fabricated design I can incorporate the shelf (in the Caterham gasket) into the top flange. That way you'll be able to use the cheap Rover gasket. Obviously I'll also include the standard mod of a couple of holes to help oil return to the sump.There are a couple of other improvements I'll make at the same time to guard against surge (not a big block of foam).
