Dented Sump

Hey guys

looked under my car after i have put the engine back in and found that the sump is dented.. see pic.

Just wondering if the pick up would be damaged with this size dent. The lifters sounded a bit noisy too which i think would indicate oil starvation at the top end.

I figure i have to get this sump off.. i have a spare block with a pick up and spare sump on it so it can be changed.. just some advice would be great

thanks guys

that is the deepest part of the sump, but your oil pick up should be fine but it will still need to be fixed as it will be very close to the bottom of the sump now.

have a read of this thread, its got some detail on how to do it:

It shouldnt affect your dipsitck. If it was that bad then your engine wouldnt be alive right now

Hard to say man, as said above watch oil pressure if you can

A friend had a similar bump on a CA and we went to all the effort of dropping the xmember slightly to get the sump off and there was still a good 2-3mm of clearance.

If your like me and have nothing better to do on the weekend then why the hell not though ^_^
