martynr Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I am currently building a 1400 k series engine and now need a dry sump pan. I have been told that some of the caterhams are using little more than a flat plate as a sump, with provision for scavenge. As this is ideal for my application can anyone help with details, drawings etc. so that I can make one, or does anybody know of one for sale. Thanks for any help.

Bob Corb Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 The fireblade engines dry sump pan looks like a machined flat plate. The caterham K dry sump pan is a complex casting. They are about £250 I think. The K goes into a Caterham at a different angle the the Rover installation so you'll have to bear that in mind. I think someone else is developing a dry sump system for the K series caterham although I dont think its finished yet. The factory system isnt very good so I wouldn't use it anyway.

The Pied Piper Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Martyn, When I fitted a 2.0XE in my RWD Rover 25, I bought a dry sump pan from PACE, the shallowest available, then I had to chop away the centre section where the steering rack crosses a further 25mm or so deep and weld and plate it. This has front and rear scavenge points. I'm not sure how well it will scavenge with a flat plate, ask Neil at Pace, he knows everything about dry sump systems and is very helpful and happy to talk and supply diagrams free!, Tell him I recommended him!
