Hi, I have taken the engine out of my 2wd Saph and put it in a 1964 105e Anglia. I have had to use a MK II RS2000 sump for clearance, but this has meant I can only get just over 3 litres of oil in it. How can I increase the oil capacity? Am I able to fit a larger oil filter, oil cooler or some kind of reserve?

Many thanks in advance!

 

Anyone?

 

Yeah - get yourself a bigger oil filter (I think the old Sherpa ones fit) and an oil cooler rad. These together won't make a massive difference though, IMO.

Is there no way to get a cossie sump on, modified to clear the crossmember and then wide-winged, with the correct oil pick-up pipe with the piston cooling jets? Would probably be your best option.

 

Or just but big wings onto the RS2 sump if you cant get clearance at all?

What crossmember did you use by the way? I would have thought that using a world cup type you should get clearance for a Yb sump? You may need to trim back one of the lower edges slightly but it sould fit in a similar way to my Mk2 set up?

With regards to filters, you could fit an ally take off and then use a remote filter housing set up higher in the engine bay. This would give you extra oil in the lines if thats what you were after?

Or try a Accusump that holds an additional shot of oil in various quantities and gives it to the engine when required.

Thanks for the advice! I have just modified the standard Anglia 105e cross member. The clearance is between the road and the button of the sump. I have probably mounted the engine to low in the engine bay. All part of learning. Bit of a pain now though. I am just worried about there not being enough oil at high revs. I have now brought a mocal oil cooler kit from Think. Will fit it this weekend. Just need to find some room!

Cheers!

 

Think sell the Accusump kits. They protect from oil starvation so could be just what you need?

I would like to see your modified Anglia crossmember. Must be well braced to take the extra pull!!

Good luck fella.
