RWD crossflow sump wanted
I could do with a Rear wheel drive Xflo sump if anyone has one gathering dust...
It differs from the FWD one as follows:
Deep end is at the rear of a RWD sump: nearest the larger of the 2 semi-circular crank oil seal cutouts, Whereas the FWD sump has the deep end nearest
the smaller of the 2 cutouts, i.e at the front of the car.
Anyone able to help?
Ta.

Not true, it depends on the car the engine was fitted to, some RWD sumps had a front bowl as well.
I've got a 1300 and a 1600 rear bowl sump, which do you want?

Thankyou for your quick reply, but I am now sorted.
Will bear the front bowl RWD thing in mind: didnt know that!

Its on some of the older stuff, Mk2 Cortinas especially, the blocks have the dipstick in the front as well obviously. I also have an alloy, flat
bottommed Westfield (I think) sump that I could be persuaded to part with, along with a brand new Kent H/P pump, have to be a pretty penny as
I'd have to buy another dry sump pan to replace them with. I've got one engine dry sumped and another ready to be built, but using the wet
sump setup.
