in building a big 2.o liter (probably will be a 2.1 liter when done) we find the engien case is worn out. What differences is any are there in useing a 1.7 or 1.8 case for the build? I understand some cases do not have the windage tray. any other differences?
also what are recommended brands of pistons. I am looking for a big bore more than likely (2.1 liter) to run with the stock D-jet thanks |

Whether to keep or ditch the tray leads to heated debate. The point that was made that made sense to me was this:
A high volume pump need high volume of oil getting back into the sump, and the tray, unmodified, *could* cause enough of a restriction to be a problem. that said, they were factory parts for years and years w/o problem, and folks do still use them today. The last straw for mine was that the engine seal kit I got did not have the seals for the windage tray, and i was not about to put off building my motor for a few days while I waited for the seals to come in. my car is not lowered, but I do go over speed bumps VERY slow and angled with the can. I have lots of fastish sweeping corners, and have never seen my oil pressure dive w/o the tray (with the tuna can). Zach |
