Re: Aluminum Sump Questions

[TIGEROOTES@aol.com]

Jarrid,
    Years ago, I noticed the same thing when I used an alloy sump on a 
vertical engine.  Also, I was not impressed with the tiny baffle in the alloy 
pan: it is a small steel plate.  The pans are very porous, and they should be 
sealed before they are installed: mine wept oil continually, right thru the 
casting.  I installed mine as-is, and I had an oil pressure loss regularly, 
especially when the oil was cold (right after startup) on right turns.
