Re: Oil pickup + pump

Depends on how you are fitting it, if you are fitting it canted over at silly o'clock using the T3 sump then you need the matching oil pump and pickup, if you fit it at the same angle the engine was in the car you keep the original sump and oil pump and pickup.

LR pump should be around 1.4mm (no EGR pump) or 1.54mm (EGR pump) lift @TDC If swapping injectors not helps I...

Re: Recovered home

Thanks for the advice.

After what I’ve read yesterday and the state it’s in, I’ll start looking for another

To bad

Re: How much oil?

maybe put in just 4litres and mark the stick andthen having put in 4.3litres mark the stick and then add 200ml and mark it again, that will give you low and cold full and hot full marks, drill a hole for 4.3 and notch for low and high is a good way of marking stick that many engines use Thank you. ...
