broken insert oil sump
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2025 5:54 am
Hi all,
Just replaced the rod bearings and wanted to reinstall the oilpan when I noticed the plastic insert is broken on the side where two screws attach it to the oilpan (see attachement); the plastic 'arms' have cracked. That leaves the insert attached with 5 screws. Is this something that needs attention or can I just reinstall this like it was? Couldn't find new inserts (or second hand ones) anywhere online in Europe. Removed the broken pieces and their screws of course.
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.
groet,
Eelco
