Good afternoon,
A while ago I purchased a secondhand Raceline sump for my blacktop Zetec.
The engine was also new to me and didn't come with a sump or oil pick up pipe.
Looking at both engine and sump I am struggling to see how the oil pick pipe part of the sump attaches to the engine.
I have included some pictures to hopefully make this a bit clearer.
Can anyone shed any light please?
There is a 'top hat' spacer with an o-ring on each side. Think of a short tube with a narrow diameter with an o-ring round it, thicker
middle section, then another narrow o-ring section. This is squashed between the oil pump and the pick up tube. The pick up tube is bolted to the
sump prior to mating with the enigne. If any bits missing try giving Chris at Raceline a call.
Here's mine prior to installation

Do Also check you have the correct sump..... The Silvertop and Blacktop kits are different

No, just that there are differences, Raceline will know and are very helpful

Up in the frozen north (Fleet). Although regularly down your way, mostly out for Sunday morning runs with the Southern Kit Car Club. Keep an eye on the SKCC forum if interested.
