New westfield sump height
franky - 3/5/11 at 04:19 PM

I noticed at stoneleigh that all the westfields with the 1.6 turbo lump only have about 50mm clearance to the sump guard with about 10mm above that to the sump

I guess its because they can't alter the engine and keep the vauxhall warranty? Or anyone got any other ideas?

Seems a bit silly on a £30k kit car.

Beleive they're crate engines straight from Vauxhall and are under warranty


Also if you buy a Factory built Duratech car Westfield won't give you the code for the ECU until its out of Warranty
(Just in case somebody fiddles with the map and damages the engine)

Sort of guessed something like that, seeing their 50mm made me feel good about my 100mm!
