Crank to Sump Clearance

[Alan Whitaker]

Hi All
I have just been doing a search for the clearance from the crank to the sump, nothing on this.

I am starting to fab my drysump pan and wanted to know how much the crank sticks out / down from the block. I was hoping I could do a shallow pan of about 40mm.

Many Thanks

Alan

I have a feeling the crank doesn't sit below the block at all.

When i made mine, the height of the sump from the front thru to half way was only about 40mm or so. Its been fine...

Thanks guys, if I can ge away with a 40mm sump that would be great, the only place I can fit the pump is on the sump pan, no room to fit at the side on the block.
Some one might have a picture of the block with the sump off.

I just measured my spare motor. From sump face to the lowest point the crank swings is just on 30mm.

Alan, Bill Dailey told me one time that he'd done one of his dry sump + oil pump setups for TRD to use in preparing an "unnamed" Toyota V8 for one of the race series here in the US.

It might be that he has a dry sump setup ready to go, and if so, it'll be cleaner and better engineered than anyone else's.

Hi
I looked at his site but found no links to a 1uz set up, I have all the bits pump , flange, tank is fitted and lines are in, most of the parts are cut out , just ready to start welding, the only thing I am stuck with is how to fit the drive pully to the crank drive pully, I have looked world wide fot a new pully

I just reviewed some old emails, and he said he had done it for TRD, but for their custom front cover, not the stock front timing cover. It would require a bit of rework to do it for the stock cover. This was back in 2010, but I didn't correspond with him anymore about it.

Have just found that Ross down under do a replacement harmonic ballancer that takes a nose drive, what are people doing to fit superchargers, there must be something out there that will drive the dry sump pump from the ballancer

Supercharger applications used a "bowl"" pulley that fits inside the stock balancer.
