Want to fit a deep sump to my engine as part of some upgrades.
What's available? Have read differing views on the quality of some brands.

Cheers

You nearly have to check the deep sump mounting surface before You buy it...

Many are not finished correctly and still have scores in the metal... which will leak...

I have a small CB Performance sump with no problems..
I bought it from CB Performance in the uSA.

My Son has a large deep sump with No problems..
I think it may be a CB Perforance one too..

Many of these sumps are made in Taiwan
- republic of china or
CHINA - Peoples republic of China . PRC..

some are porous

i suggest that you cap the bolttom and fill with some light fluid before fitting
leave it for a few days n seeks if theres any leaks

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
