andy thompson Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes - and wind out pick up so the gauze sits on the base of the sump. Looks like its hasn't been off in a while - :PWorth checking the clearances on both pumps - 0.010" is the max permissable and some 'new' pumps are not that crash hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmk1est Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 cheers andy,,,so cut the sump(d shaped) so the pick up and filter goes through and sits near the bottom of sump,and check clearence`s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother's 1966 2000 was terrible for oil surge leading to zero oil pressure when we fitted decent tyres and springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy thompson Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 New pump will be fine - just make sure block is clean as a whistle where the new pump will sit - maybe the lightest smear of hylomar? Make sure new pump has no high spots on the mating face - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I would have thought you just need to cut out the d-shaped bit, so not go as far as you propose.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAJ Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I had the sump off a mk1 pi engine in the garage today, sump had no baffle across the top and the houburn eaton pump had a rectangular section pickup with a clip on gauze that goes up into the pickup pipe. Had a couple of bits of silicon type gasket goo lodged in it.Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Only early Mk1 2000 / Vitesse / GT6 had the removable baffle plate fitted as standard with the cast iron oil pump with the round pick up "snout" . All 2.5 engines had the iron or alloy pump with the square pick up before all pumps were superseded by the alloy pump with the adjustable " microphone" type strainer , around 73/74 .

nicmk1est Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 i have noticed that with the new pump,the rockers are getting wetter quicker and more oil is being pump`d to the top,,,is also worth checking the sealing block threads :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
