Gridgway Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Getting to the end of installing my rebuilt crossflow and the (new) oil pump housing gets in the way of the steering column. This rings a bell from deep in the past. Is it a known problem and if so is there a specific oil pump that doesn't foul the steering column?

Wrightpayne Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Is it a dry or wet sump pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I have a Titan dry sump pump which was fitted to mine when it was rebuilt, if you send me your email I can send a pic.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I can get my fingers between the column and the oil pump inlet .Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted February 5, 2023 Area Representative Share Posted February 5, 2023 if you haven't solved it Graham, I can take pictures of my fairly standard Crossflow installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Glad it worked. I thought that I remembered the solution but it's so long ago now ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 #8 I don't have the old one to compare, but we are ok, it took only a small change in the rack to make clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
