Oil Pump Mod

I had to machine the Z20LET oil pump to match the standard so the Cam Belt backing plate fitted correctly.

Z20LET Oil Filter listing is Z154 but this is because they use a sandwich plate. The actual size in the pump is 3/4-16-UNF-2B (not M18-x1.5-6H as in the Z154). To screw an oil filter directly onto the LET pump using a straight 3/4-16 inch spigot you need to use a Z632 (or alternatively a Z418 which is 3mm longer).

Gated Sump Mod

The gated sump which started off as a series of galleries that slowed the oil down as it sloshed away from the pickup but then I changed the design to have 4 "trap doors" that shut and open depending on the direction of the car to keep the oil around the pickup.

Block Modification

Quote from SBD: The oil feed to the head can get blocked up and most specialists such as SBD modify this area. Basically, the oil feed consists of a ball-bearing device which gets stuck so it's removed, the hole blocked up with a bung, through which a 3/32 inch (2.4mm) hole is drilled.
