That's coming along nicely mate.I don't suppose you've got any pics of the sump internals/baffles do you??
I'm STILL getting oil surge and I REALLY don't want to shell out the £ 300 for an sbd jobby.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Nice find that QED one mate. it all adds up money wise.
I don't know if you know or not BUT the rubber 8v gasket IMHO is the one to go for and is much less fiddly to fit as well compared to the cork
ones
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

The rubber one has like a slot in it and it clips over the edge of the windage tray. that keeps it all inline/place. Much easier IMHO
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
