Subject: Re: 2 litre Oil Pump
Thanks Colin, Had to remove the sump for repair. Looks like it had been in collision with an immoveable object and the front right 'foot' had been knocked off. The resultant repair was a mix of weld, solder, filler and zinc! My nephew, who has his own foundry and machine shop, cut off the entire corner, then made and fitted a new one. The journals were spotless, and the bearings were new! Seems the previous owner had completely overhauled the engine shortly before he died...
There was no sludge either! Now, where do I get a full-flow filter kit, without the need for a mortgage?
