Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have purchased the rear bowl sump from castlemaine rod shop for my 1UZ conversion into a hilux and I am looking for some photos or ideas on what people might have done 'baffle wise' to stop all the oil flowing away from the pick-up when on a down-hill slope.
Thanks

I haven't done anything, when going down STEEP hill my oil pressour goes real low, as soon as you give some gas its back again.

Did you workout your dip stick mate?

How much was the sump?

pics?


Whats up with the dipstick?

I ran the dipstick off a different breed of motor and it seems fine...

What needs to be done to the dipstick? I just put a rear sump on mine and used the dipstick that came with it... is there something wrong with this?

maybe he had an aftermarket exhaust or other clearance issues....

ah okay fair enough, i didn't think of that

The Castlemaine Rod Shop Sump is about $700 from memory and they modify your pick-up for you.

The modified pick-up


I had an external tube for the dipstick going into my original sump (1UZ from a Celsior) so the tube needed to be cut to the right length so as the dip stick would sit at the right depth when put through the hole in the block at the back
