Well realy my sump is the same as all the rest but it is to low for my aplecation. The engion is from a uk e30is and is going into my 7 style car. Problem is I need to take 25mm off the sump. I work in an enganeering shop so choping and replaiting wuld be a diddle and replasing the drain plug canot be hard. Fit some baffles two.
Is this going to upset the oil fead? Also the way I see it taking that of the sump although decreesing the sump capasatey will not oulter the oil level if less oil is yoused. Am I right?
Can or has it been dun and haw?
