LesG Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hiyas, would someone be so kind as to supply me a couple of pics detailing the configuration of the engine mounts when a CC dry sump (tank-in-bell) is fitted? As I'm changing over from a Xflow and not having access to a so-fitted vehicle to refer to, I'm having a little difficulty trying to work out how it all fits. I have a K build manual to hand, but there are no diagrams in there to refer to either. All help gratefully appreciated! Cheers, Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted November 29, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted November 29, 2010 Or here, or here? I knew having the engine out would be useful! Stu. Edited by - sforshaw on 29 Nov 2010 21:51:41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesG Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks guys, that's perfect, knew I had it in the wrong place! I'm assuming the right-hand (exhaust side) bracket bolts dead-centre of block? That appeared to be the most sensible place to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted November 29, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted November 29, 2010 A little forward of centre - here & here Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted November 29, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted November 29, 2010 Les, Be prepared for clearance issues between the steering column and alloy scavenge pump cradle. When I fitted mine, I had the cradle off a couple of times to cut more off it until I was happy with the clearance. I helped fitting DS to a 140 Xpower car a few months ago. Because of the big metal plenum (that is higher than the plastic plenum, and requires more clearance, so needs a different engine mount to lower the engine), this clearance issue is even worse! We had to cut a huge amount off the cradle to make enough clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted November 29, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted November 29, 2010 Les, you can see the problem Richard is referring to here, notice how much of the cradle has been removed! Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesG Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Stu; thanks for those, that's where I meant and it's good to confirm it visually! Richard; I spent most of last year with a similar vibration from the steering column rubbing on the xflow oil pump housing. Bit of a bugger after I'd built/rebuilt everything else around it, so need to get this right first time this time around! I'm fitting Jenveys DTH so hopefully won't need to be as liberal with the grinder! Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesG Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yep, noticed that Stu, I may just give it a 'tickle' before I start lol! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
