Perhaps the gasket is the problem ya think? Title: Re: Berg sump Post by: leec on July 26, 2020, 18:52:55 pm Do you have an Ali case? If so I had to clearance a little bit underneath my case as it slightly fouled on my empi 3.5 deep sump. This prevented the sump sitting perfectly flush with the case. May be worth a look

My guess is its the gasket compressing that's causing it. That's an uneducated guess though :P Title: Re: Berg sump Post by: leec on July 26, 2020, 19:39:04 pm It’s been so long, I can not remember if there is a gasket or not. I use Wellseal on the mating surfaces. Matt Keene recommended it to me and it’s very good.

I'm gonna put sump on with just sealant this time and see how it goes. |
