eattsie9 350 Posted June 21, 2017 Hi All I'm curious. I picked up a built crossflow out of a cortina (high comp solid cam) it has an Asr performance sump on it. Since its going into and xf I need to swap sumps. Is there any value in me getting another high performance sump to suit or can I just use a standard one? Car is going to be mostly Street driven with the odd run at the drags / power cruise type event. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BGDAV 1,871 Posted June 21, 2017 standard sump is pretty average for anything high performance - ASR sumps are good cause they keep oil where it needs to be - cheap insurance to get a good baffled sump if you ask me 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted June 21, 2017 A big sump may only benefit if it has Ando76's favourite kind of oil pump Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk 2 ando76 and Ando81 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted June 21, 2017 The engine, when fitted to the Cortina, had a performance sump. That is part of the answer for me. Another part comes in 'high comp solid cam) description, followed by power cruise and drag use. For me the question answers itself. All engines benefit from having more oil to scavenge from, particularly when pushed and oil temp rises. I have an xf high energy (before they went offshore) sump here that I would gladly swap for your sump. 2 Valvebouncer and SirkWhyXF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BGDAV 1,871 Posted June 21, 2017 my ASR sump was best he could make so is slightly higher then normal - from memory was around 1300 ? http://www.asroilpans.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eattsie9 350 Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks guys. Was on the side of the fence of just getting another good one but was curious non the less. Asr quoted me 375 + gst and I have to send them a factory sump. So pretty cheap really. Ando got any details/pics of that sump? Probably a bit hard to do a swap since I believe we are opposite sides of the country. CheersSent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ando76 4,354 Posted June 22, 2017 Australia post mate. They are pretty good now. I send stuff to tassie all the time. I'll get some photos tomorrow and send them thru. At $375 it will be there basic sump, which is fine. 2 Outback Jack and eattsie9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
