Bob, I don't have an aluminum sump for my Healey, but I do have one on my
Miata.  I once ran over what I thought was a crumpled-up paper bag until I
hit it and it lifted the car off its front wheels.  Turned out to be a truck
water pump.  Not only did it destroy the steering rack, but it put a
good-sized dent/gouge in the aluminum pan and also a crack, as I discovered
later.  On the Miata, the aluminum pan is basically the bottom of the
engine.  The whole thing had to be replaced.  Seems that aluminum is not as
forgiving to road obstructions as the steel is, and I don't intend to put
one on my BJ8.
As for the dents in the steel pan, I was able to straighten most of those
out pretty well.

Subject: [Healeys] I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack ...

This is sort of the ubiquitous 'test' messages; I got bumped off this list
for some reason--I'm not THAT ednoxious--and I just now started to receive
recent messages so I hope to stay.

And now, a question: What's the List take on aluminium sumps? They sound
like a good, easily-reversible mod and my steel pan has taken it's lumps
(dents, actually).  Any cooling effect would be an added, though probably
subjective, bonus.  But, I'm concerned that, were I to high-center the pan
somehow or hit a rock, the pan could fracture where a steel pan might just
get another dent. Anyone have this happen to them?  DW sells a 'low-profile'
pan that might all but eliminate that risk, but might also reduce capacity.

Anyone got an Al pan?  What's your take?

TIA,

Bob
