| ARE dry sumps
Well guys,
Armstrong Race Engineering Dry Sump Systems

This is the most expensive, most useless, heap of crap I have ever bought. If it is typical of ARE's design, execution and engineering then maybe other forum members should think twice before purchasing any of their products.
I ordered it from a photo on their website which showed 4 scavenge ports.The pan supplied has three! That's not really a problem but this is.....

Note the clearance around the rear cap, zero on the LHS about 3mm on the RHS. Besides that the sump face is out of round. Not sure how it's meant to keep the oil in.........?

There is a further problem at the rear of this sump. No room for attachment bolts at the rear of the sump adjacent to the cap.
Pic #3
No room for bolts at the front corners of the sump either due to the squared off edges.
Maybe it's not necessary to use all the bolts, but I would certainly prefer to.
Now I'll do what I should have done to start with and cast my own. But since the ARE piece looked quite good, I thought I'd save myself some time because it looked to be just what I wanted. Never mind I think the old adage applies, 'If you want it done right do it yourself!' |
