Paul Garvey Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi all,I've the sump off my Mk2 Spitfire to sort an oil leak by replacing the (stripped thread) alloy oil sealing block with a machined steel one and while off I may as well replace the early oil pump to a later 1500 angled one - is this a straight swap and is there anything I should be aware of?An angled pump will also allow me to (finally) bolt up a spare sump I have that's been baffled with a windage tray...err...2 years ago.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Garvey Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Someone surely must know - I haven't been able to find anything on a forum search or via internet and don't want to fork out 60 pound + freight to NZ on something that'll either not fit or cause grief once in.

JensH Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Don't know with the mk 2 engine; but I had no problems fitting a late pump on my FD (mk 3) engine.If oil pump partno is identical between mk 2 and mk 3 engine, you should be home free!

drofgum Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Paul, I have just checked factory parts books and the Mk2 and Mk3 oil pump and sump part numbers are the same. From this and what Jens has posted it seems you would be OK to change to the angled pump. All the best, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
