Default Dry sump progress pics

I've had a very tough time trying to get ample clearance on the dry sump, tried the pump in at least 8 positions. The only one that works is pulling the pump out and running it off the very forward drive. There is not enough room to run it off the back of the ATI damper, any thoughts are welcome.

Pulled pump out, way out. Moved the bracket from between the first two pumps to the 2nd/third pump. Changed from the back of the plate to the front of the plate.




had to use an assortment of fittings to change the hose height to clear


shorty hose still 4-5"


2nd section hose


3rd section hose


Last section hose

Scavenge manifolds are your friend:




So many scavenge stages makes that a difficult jumble

make sure you didn't hose yourself moving the bracket. Looks like there might be some stage to stage connection on the scavenge stages? should have been an opening in one of the plates you moved.

was hitting the rack, thus the move forward?

As said, make sure you don't move a feed through into the wrong spot.

I thought you found some ORB hose ends?? to get a tighter fit out of the pan??
