richiec205 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Well after discovering a hole in my sump on my 1.6 I decided to change it and fit one of the ones my mate had lying around. After cleaning and painting it I only found out there is a difference between 1.6 and 1.9 sumps when I tried to fit it. So can I fit the sump spacer plate off a 1.9 and just use the 1.9 sump? Any help appreciated. thanks Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 240 3 Cars Posted April 7, 2007 Basically the sump spacer on the 1.9 is to allow for extra down stroke, whereas the 1.6 is smaller rotation. Yes & no, actually both sumps are different, with the 1.9 sump being shallower. The spacer plate is more of a block stiffener than an extra spacer, the sumps are the same depth when you include the stiffener plate on the 1.9 sump compared to a 1.6 sump. I ran my 1.9 with a 1.6 sump for long enough without any problems & iirc Miles still has this on his CTi Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
