deep oil pan?

while i wait for my wheel to come back i decided to look at my engine, last time i worked on it was 92 ish.
when i chipped a valve and had to replace the valve sleeve and piston any way getting off track a bit sorry.

so i remove sump to try on the deep sump i bought 4 mths ago,it came with a modified oil pump with a pipe extending down to the lowest point.
now when i hold up the new pump the oil pipe hits a small web which doesn't seem to be any use now with the new sump,

so the question is anyone heard of problems with grinding out the web so everything bolts up properly.

plus any idea who made this pan?

can you send a picture of the area that your talking about just so that it is clear in everybodies mind by the way you knew the picture thing was coming didn't you

That's a nice looking pan. I have one very similar, but mine was made here locally. I'll try to post a picture of the inside - mine might have been modified like your asking but I'm not sure.

This picture doesn't help - let me look for a better picture...

yeah i did lol.
ill take the camera tomorrow.
and plenty of pic's plus i want to show you guys what i found in the sump.
i have no idea what it is but it inch by 1/4 piece of metal about 1/16 gauge forgot to bring it home to show you guys.

OK, found a better picture. Do you mean the baffles (red arrow)? If so, no problem to remove those.

I just happened to think - are you talking about the engine that needs clearanced or the pan??:S I can get a little confused sometimes!:laugh:

that's exactly where the web is not in the sump in the lower case i seems to be where the fins are where ppl used to put a gate to slow down oil on fast accelerating.

that is excactly what those are for wich is no big problem since you now hace a rear mounted sump

like to check before i brake out the grinder lol.
ill still take some snaps for the record.
thx guys;)

any idea who made it Egli?

good idea measure twice and cut once or was measure once and cut twice i allways get confused

So it's actually hitting on the engine side?

I can't remember if my cases were modified or not, but the pan had the baffles removed for sure.

OK, found a picture of my engine with a normal oil pump. Does yours look like this?
