Shortened sump? Oil pick up?
garage19 - 30/10/04 at 06:02 PM

What height should a pick up pipe be from the bottom of the sump?

I was thinking of perhaps a 10 mm clearance between the two?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

DC.

Thats what I set mine to, although some recommend 3mm.. I stuck a lump of blutak on the bottom of the sump and put it in place to check the clearance

Cheers guys.

I'll set it to some where between 5 and 10 mm.

I think mine's around 3 - 5mm above the bottom of the sump...
