Double Sump Spacer

[hatemgti 4]

Did anyone used two sump spacer before to improve oil surge problems?

Yes, but you must extend the oil pickup too.

And it's not really a sump spacer.

 

It's a stiffening plate sandwiched between the sump and alloy block on most 205/309 GTIs and the Mi16 1.9.

That means if i didn't extend the oil pump pickup it will suffer more surge???

Well how's it going to pick up oil, if the sump is lower and you don't extend the pick-up to stay down in the oil? There would be no point in fitting the 'spacer' if you didn't.

1 extra is bad enough, use 2 and go over anything in the road and the sump will be smashed

found the link interestin thanks @jackherer

 

a quick question the if the spacer plate was say 10mm thick instead of 15mm would the pick up work better?

and also would everything clear the bottom of the sump?
