Ballade are notoriously expensive, then there's shipping and import duty.....

Thats just the picture I have been looking for.

The pressure relief valve sticks when I start from cold giving me over 6Bar of pressure until it unsticks after about 30 seconds.

It lives in the allen head bolt on the side of the pump just after the strainer. I knew it was there its just that I have never seen a picture.

A job for winter..

Hi Stu, Is that a real '6 Bar' or a Dash2/WSC Cal 6Bar? What oil grade are you running? Is it a common S2000 problem? I'm 99% sure you should be able to get the sump off without taking the engine out.

Provided you can get at the lowest two clutch housing bolts (I don't know how close the chassis hoop is).

It's six bar on the Guage but it's anyone's guess what that translates to.

I don't know who else has had this problem and the internet is a bit light on info.

I think the sump will drop off.

If you have to remove the sump, then you may as well save some money and get the standard Westfield plate tig'd in. I was lucky in knowing someone that tigs, but I am sure £20 cash would have done the same at a welders shop.

...but then there's always the risk of heat distortion.

That said, I had a temp sender boss welded in to, so I'd still be needing a visit to the local TIG welding expert if I needed to change sumps.

Really  Dave ? On a sump thats 10 mm thick ! Tig gives localised heat. The plate welds in the lower area of the sump, so it wont distort the face that bolts to the block. As for the sender for oil temp, cant you use the sump plug. Drill a hole and tap the centre and screw the sender in ? All you would need to to was pull the wire off to undo the plug on oil changes.

It was the TIG specialist that warned me of the risks, I'm not contradicting him, I have no experience of TIG welding!

I know a few have done it, but for road use, I wouldn't have the sender in the sump plug, too low and vulnerable. Andy's already managed to damage his standard sump plug, and that's not made of soft brass.

Plus as a regular to shows/events I often find myself having to cross and park in grass field parking areas, it's not always nice and short and I'm not comfortable with the wiring being quite so low as it would be in the sump plug.
