| Oil Pan - Sump System |
 |
| This oil pan allows engine to be mounted 2" above my Kolb engine mount & collects oil on steep climbouts. Engine hangs 4" beyond mount. "Full" & "Low" sight glasses are 1qt apart. It has 4qt capacity. |
 |
 |
| This is the collector pan. Original oil pan was cut away except for flange & 3/4" of wall. The side wall of this piece was later modified to 3/8" all around. Left is rear, up is bottom. |
 |

 |
| Top, rear view of tank that will be welded to collector pan. Return oil line exits right & brace can be seen on left. Stock oil inlet by crank was plugged. The engine's external oil pump inlet will be used. |
 |
| Top view of tank. Stock oil screen on bottom. Brace is on left & oil return tube exits through wall on right. Brass fittings are silver soldered. |
