151-5404 is the product code. Trouble i think is needed a new sump and tray coz i found a crack in my donor engine would there be a difference in the sump trays??

 

It is a common problem, you need to clearance the aluminium section of the sump to clear the head of the main studs.

 

How do ya go about that? Cut little sections out?

 

I used a die grinder

 

Fair enough it doesn't weaken the tray no?

 

I very much doubt it, you only need a 5mm x 10mm notch (roughly).

 

Would standard bolts wiv locktight be alright 4 a 350bhp engine?

 

You can use standard bolts at that power level yes. Loctite is a personal preference

 

ok thanks m8 im selling those annoying little arp studs! Lol
