Dry sump

After some research on the various dry sump solutions, I decided to go with Achilles Motorsports system. It's a Peterson based system with a pan of their own design that I posted above. I received the pan, and oil passage block off bracket, ahead of the rest of the system so I could begin by installing the pan so I could mock everything up in the chassis and take measurements.

With the OEM pump removed, one needs to either remove or secure the oil pump chain guide/tensioner. Removing it looked dicey so I elected to make a bracket and secure it. By dicey, I mean that if you remove the clip on the post and can't get it out, you're looking at removing the timing chain cover. That means removing the head...no thanks! To get the oil pump chain out, you just need to cut a link and feed it out.



Oil pan installed and taped to prevent blemishes while positioning in the chassis.
