I was thinking the SAME THING!

Or....

You can split the difference. Move the oil away from the crank and have a bit more volume.

You're going to find that the whole accusump thing messes with the oil level quite a bit. The hotter the oil gets, the less oil pressure there is. This means that the accusump volume decreases and suddenly there is more oil in the sump of the engine. You will need to deal with this issue, otherwise you will be oiling the track on a regular basis.

About all you can do is start with the oil level lowered...which is perfect for a lowered pan. Then as you run the engine, the oil level will increase...which won't hurt anything, since you have a lowered pan.

Accusumps and lowered pans work very good together.

Really good of Carl to make these things for us.

Greg,

thanks for trashing my thread. very professional of you.

note how many posts I have on your thread about your water pump block repair. Zero, I think. Even though I have a water pump block repair product and thread on the Renn about it too, I respected your opportunity to discuss your own product/service. I ran my own thread about my water pump block repair. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...ck-repair.html

i do not post on Rogers threads for the same reason: professional courtesy.

maybe you should try it.

Dipstick length:

We can make custom dipsticks for you based off of our model here:

(oh oh, maybe I should check first and see if its OK with Greggers)

If you want to use the lowered sump to carry more oil in a street car, I'd say use the stock dipstick level and add the oil to the bottom mark as before.

If you want to move the oil further from the roating assembly because you are a cornering maniac, then we could make you a new dipstick that is lengthened to match the spacer and pickup tube.

Oh man, one of the things I've always admired about the 928 vendors is how courteous they are with each other and helping each other out. I've even had one vendor recommend another vendor when they couldn't help. Please don't make the 928 vendors a war zone like the 944 Turbo vendors have.

Carl Fausett

WTF??

Would some one tell me how I could have done this?

You know I am in Wisconsin, right? And Greg is in California, right?
And he has no picture of his oil pan spacer on his kit, (it isnt even listed).
How was I to copy it? I cant see it from here.

You know what I copied? The oil pan flange from the oil pan. Wonder why my spacer would like like anybody's spacer that had done the same thing? We have all copied the OEM flange. not each other.

Tell Greg he cant have it both ways - not me.
He can't not offer it, post that he isnt going to make it anymore, and then be upset when people make their own. I did not want to make this part, would have rather bought it. I have more than enough real development to do that I would have rather just bought this thing.

So, I'm the first guy to make it commercially available as a complete kit, flange, extended sump, oil pan studs, and starter bolts and instructions. And I'm getting **** for this?

Carl Fausett

I better check...

I am currently developing:

- aluminum torque tubes
- 32v inatke manifold
- double adjustable shock kits
- stroker crankscraper
- Stage 3 SC kit
- RadCooler
- Fibergalss complete front clip

Is anybody working on these things? Please let me know because apparantly I should stop!

Keep up the good work Carl.
You can't please everybody.

I am interested in your aluminum TT.

I was going to make my own with a smaller diameter tube and running the bearings right on the housing and TT shaft itself to reduce weight.
I know this would be louder but it's a track car so noise isn't a problem.
I would also be making a new shaft for it out of HSS or the like to handle higher power levels.

With regards to the original topic,
the new dipstick, can it be made with a longer neck so it isn't hidden by the upper rad hose on some cars.

BC

I think a stronger shaft is made so you don't have to do all the reinventing on that.

Carl Fausett

Colin,

I do not have a supplier for the dipstick with a longer handle. That metric o-ring in the handle is the problem, the 928 dipstick tuvbe is a funny ID and it was harder than heck to find a dipstick to fit it.

On the aluminum torque tube: I will discuss more about that later. The bits are in the mill now, should have one welded up in a few weeks. No plans on replacing the driveshaft itself, until I see a need to do so. Granted, at a certain torque and tire level, it will probably appear as needed.

No good deed goes unpunished, as per usual.

Lizard928

On the TT,
can you answer on question. Are the stock bearing carriers used?

GregBBRD

Carl:

I'm so sorry I posted on your thread. Forgive me.

I'm so sorry I made a water pump repair fixture. I had no idea you were going to do this, also. I'll get my tool back and you can take over all the repairs. Yours does it in the car, right?

I have the Mike Simard spacer installed with his tube extender as well.
