I purchased a deep sump kit for my 73 914 2.0. My mechanic cautioned me against installing it, saying he's had a fair share of 914s with the deep sumps that had engine damage from dragging over speed bumps and other daily road hazzards.
I'm curious if anyone here has a deep sump kit on a street car, and if so is this a major concern? Thanks in advance for any thoughts! -Rob |

i have seen 914s starve out a tuna can in a sweeper. deep sump has alot of surface area to cool. tuna cans dont always go on straight because that stud coming from teh center of the oil pick up can be off center making it VERY difficult to seal it up or even mount it correctly. I have also seen many cracked cases from over torquing that center stud that the deep sumps i have installed dont use to hold the sump on.
