Hello once again! Finally Iīve started to work on those extra valves for cylinder head, meaning that becoming Zetec installation. First job, and propably the hardest DIY- part, was the fabrication of oil sump for Sierra.

Carefully meseamarised bits and pieces of sheet metal tacked together and bolted to jig. Only few of the parts are missing in this point.

After hours of welding, I got what I was looking for as can be seen below:

I donīt own a sheet metal bender, and actually the sheet that Iīm using is 2mm thick, so it canīt be bended without a proper CNC-operated machnine. So thatīs why all the sharp edges has been welded.

I quess up next I need do those engine mounts to go furher in this mod
