Bigger capacity sump
Discussion
Hi Nigel - did you get the windage tray as well?
Mat had no problems fitting mine, just using sealant like Peter's. Mine is without windage tray, I think Peter's is with. The only person I heard having problems with fitting was Daz, who took his to Willow for fitting......and I think his was a standard baffled rather than a larger capacity, and his engine may not be standard.
BTW, you will need 9.5 litres of the good stuff to fill it.

10 litres of oil. I'd be making a mess all over the floor as my waste catch can only holds 7.5 litres

I am sure Daz will tell us who rebuild and fitted his engine?Mat had no problems fitting mine, just using sealant like Peter's. Mine is without windage tray, I think Peter's is with.

No windsge tray as I don't see the point, plus mine has a long throw crank and don't know if it would fit. Yes I know it's a lot more oil hence fhe post about oil choice. If I went for millers it would 120quid for a oil change !, decided to go for penrite premium 10 84 quid for 10 litres
It would seam the consensus is just use sealant no gasket

I don't think the sump fitting and the oil loss issue are even slightly related
At least that negates his poorly fitting sum. I wonder who fitted it first time of asking?He took the sump to Willow to fit, as it's an easier job on a ramp. His was a standard baffled one, and again IIRC he had issues with the crank touching the baffles.

I don't go to Willow myself (except when I lose brake calliper bolts!) as i am a Mat Smith client, but Nick and all the Willow crew are very good at their jobs and very careful.
As for his crank, no idea. I do know that the standard Mulfab baffled sump can be a pretty close fit.

So Anthony is his crank non standard? Or bent and damaged baffles? I wonder who fitted the oil cooler and plate. Was it Willow?

Let me explain Mark
The reason my name is Siliconekid is bacause i liberally applied oil resistant silicone on the sump causing catastrophic damage to the engine,that was years ago
I since had a new engine built ,the problems with the sump was because i forgot to mention to fulbab about the engine spec ,the crank catches the sump so they have to be pressed like the one`s fitted to the 5l engines ,Willow sorted it because they have a press .
The sudden loss of oil was unexplained , i have put it behind me ,As a precaution the oil pump was replaced and new big ends were fitted because one was scored. Its now back together running like a dream ,all 345hp is going very well.
Dear silicone, so was you mulfab jobbie standard baffled sump ?, or the extra capacity sump ?
I have the extended capacity sump, which has a bit welded on the front, question for Peter , did yours fit ok ? And what was it ?
5.4 or 5.5 are long throw cranks and can hit the standard sump at the front

My extended baffled sump fitted perfectly, no adjustments necessary.I have the extended capacity sump, which has a bit welded on the front, question for Peter , did yours fit ok ? And what was it ?

Weird that yours didn't fit Daz. Rob?
