My 89 MI16

2 minute(s) of a 84 minute read

Lately it’s been really difficult to find spare time to work on my cars but finally I started to work on this oil sump set up from Peter Taylor from Australia. I should have it all removed and cleaned by Wednesday night.

I do have all gaskets,sealant,brake clean,engine oil and filter.

Finally it’s finished! I end up cutting end of windage tray so oil pump chain can be installed on the sprocket with out removing front cover. A/C accumulator end up relocating to oil pan (same as on my GTI6 swapped wagon) and oil capacity with new filter is 7.5 quart’s. On GTI6 oil pan oil temp sensor is on opposite side so I had to extend the wire. I also end up using shorter bolts which is 35mm long vs original 40mm long, new oil pan sealing surface is not as thick as original so shorter bolts are needed.

This is what happens to E85 when engine is not running for some time, it jells up.

I got it all cleaned up and for now I’ll keep running 91, later on I may try to run 100 ovtane or E85 on better injectors such as FIC injectors .
