The Summit site shows both the 20942 and 20940 be "Rear
Sump" oil pans. The Moroso site calls the 20942 a Deep Sump and the 20940
a Rear Sump. I spoke with a Moroso rep this morning in the fab shop and he
said the 20942 is a Front Sump. The instructions on the Moroso site
for the 20942 say to install the oil pickup tube in the opposite direction. See
note 4.
So,,,,, it would make since (to me) that 20942 is a
indeed a front sump in the car. You are building an RV8 right not a pusher.
Thanks for the
instructions. From the pictures on the Moroso site, I was able to
tell that the 20942 was indeed a "front" sump. Notice that the hole
pattern is different on the front cover and rear housings, so you can
tell which end is which. Looks like the dipstick must go to the shallow
section of the pan, which seems odd, but OK, I
guess.
BTW, the pan bolts are 6MM x
1.0. With the steel pan, and Fred's mount plate, I was using
20 allen head bolts that were 25mm long, and 2 that were 20mm
long. All of these had one washer under them. I figure the new bolts
need to be 8mm longer, so 20 @ 33mm, and 2 @ 28mm. I ended up getting
several sizes from McMaster Carr, ranging from 22mm to 35mm length. I
also got a bunch of washers, so I should have it
covered.
I tried to find studs, but couldn't
come up with a good solution, in a strong material. Remember, these are
holding your engine on :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (off to
work)
