GS Guy Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi guys, I need to change from the early type oil pan to the newer type because the headers on my 750f are from a 98> and currently hits the oil pan. I have done some digging around in the search but i don't actually have a complete answer. I have read that it has been done by many but i have reservations about doing it. The pre 98 has an extra oil way that the post 98 does not have. Is it critical / pressurised or just a run off into the oil pan? Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Dunno but I have always wondered why the Blandit sumps have that honeycomb patterned structure in them Quote Link to comment

Lachie04 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) All you need is the new oil pick up strainer I've done the swap. That tooling doesn't actually match up with anything and IIRC the gasket covers it see pic of corresponding gsxf bottom end Btw I've also gone the other way mk1 sump on mk11 engine same Edited February 4, 2023 by Lachie04 1 Quote Link to comment
