Ozzy Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I'll be dropping the sump shortly, therefore I've got a new gasket. I read somewhere that you recommend drilling a couple of small holes in the gasket, to aid the oil draining back down. Could you post exactly where these should be please. Thanks, Oz.

Ozzy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Looks simple enough. Thanks Oily Oz. Still Shaking 6 speed 1600k Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 It's simple but what it does is to force all the oil spalshed on the low side of the engine to drain right next to the pickup rather than all the way along the sump as with an unmodified gasket. Reports from those who have undertaken this mod show that it *does* have a positive affect. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well, I drilled the holes, and it's all back together. So we'll see how it goes. If the weather brightens up a bit! Cheers, Oz. Still Shaking 6 speed 1600k Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ozzy, "brighten up"! It can't better any brighter, can it. Or do you have cloud where you are?

Ozzy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Not down here Norman. By the time I got the car back together it was dark. Tonight it's -5, and the forecast for the next 2 days is Fog ☹️ And I thought it was going to be a nice sunny weekend ❗ Oz.
