waynem Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Has anybody had any problems with a blacktop zetec/Raceline sump combo where the nearside engine mount fouls on some lugs on the sump ? I know the offside mount needs changing, but I thought the nearside could be used as is.. It looks as though I have to grind away some of the lug metal on the sump so that the mount sits flush agains the engine mount bosses on the engine block. Anyone else experienced this ? I have an endless list of things going wrong at the moment. Thanks, WayneM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Crisp Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You can space the mount out instead. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I was intending to use spacers on mine to begin with and failing that then grind away some of the sump... Last resort for me though. Esp. after spending so much on the sump in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
