difference between cossy and pinto dry sump?

[chris escort mk2]

my step-dad has a mk1 and is going to run a pinto with a dry sump and then eventually a cossy. he was wondering what differences there are between them as they are the same block

[Guest MK1gaz]

Both the same , you can use it on both

[ratman]

Both blocks are the same My pinto has a cossy bottom and a titan dry sump twin scavenge type

 

Pace do a Cossy kit that has a 4th scavenge for the YB turbo but I recon a twin scavenge kit will be fine on YB Turbo and N/A

thought so, but im sure ive seen 2 seperate kits advertised. 1 for cossy and 1 for pinto.

 

thanks anyway m8

what about if its being used on track?

[Guest MK1gaz]

I've also got a Titian twin scavenge sump and pump on my Atmo Cossie engine which is the same as Ratmans pintos got . Pace Products do the best kits though , defo get their oil tank at least as these split in half to allow cleaning

Maybe the cossie kit is for a plastic s.ierra and not an escort etc

If you are byeing new I would go for the Pace kit (much better quality) as Gaz said

 

Get the 4th scavenge type and you can blank that off until you go YB turbo

[ratman]

Gaz you got a tin sump on yours ??

 

Think the 4th scavange takes off from the turbo oil return

[Guest MK1gaz]

Gaz you got a tin sump on yours ??

Yes mate , twin scavange job

[ratman]

That will be the next thing to fall off then Mine had cracked twice

 

was going to bye a new one but burtons want £357.49

It's already fell off nearly . I spotted the bolts hanging off last week when i was checking everything . Where has yours cracked then ? Mines quite old and has previously raced in the Ford saloon car championships for a number of years and not cracked

[ratman]

On both sides of the rear crank seal and by the front sump plug

 

mine saw a lot of action from new going round & round the south england ovals in my starlet hot rod then sat on me garage floor for 8 years

 

she still gently weeps cant be a old ford unless they leak !

[Guest MK1gaz]

Lol , mine leaks oil everywhere as well . Free rust proofing

[ratman]

I spent ages wire locking every cap headed bolt on my sump at least its hasnt fallen off

[Guest MK1gaz]

Using Gripfill would work i reckon , you would need a hammer + chisel to get the sump off then !!!!!
