Decided to look into using the OEM oil pump. Following some advice from Mr Felsted I decided to go for it. Stripped it down, checked all clearances and polished the Pressure release valve plunger. I've tidied the casing up and reassembled it all. Popped a new seal in and it's good to go.

 

I have now finished the short motor build.

The sump is red in the flesh not day glow orange as the pictures suggest.













Heads Next!!

 

Your doing a cracking job mate looks great so far.

 

Did you add any additional baffles / baffle plates to the sump?

 

No, its the twin scroll sump which is a better shape than the original shaped sump.

However I'll monitor oil pressure and change the sump if need be. This is and only ever will be a road car though so no real need for a full group N baffelled set up just yet.

 

Looking awesome Daz,really like the Red sump
