paul crow Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 hi there would like some help from all you good people out there. trying to fit a vauxhall omega 2.0 16v x20xev engine and box ,the problem i have is...... i have a sump for a red top engine ,but this engine has some sort of strengthening frame work under the sump, it looks like a griddle that you get on an open fire. Do i have to keep this or is there an alternative sump ? As the red top sump i have is not deep enough to cover the frame work. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromanta1972 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi this the balance shafts you can remove although you will need to add grub screws into the main bearing caps and put them in with thread lock I have done this conversion with modified sump plate and then big wing sump from manta 1800 gte you can buy big wing sump all steel on eBay for about £250 as Alloy ones are so hard to find now any questions I can help you out andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromanta1972 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Forgot to mention that what is your eco tech from was it a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive model as the oil pump and pick up pipe work connection differs there are 2 types and you may have to change the oil pump to get the right fitting for the manta 1800 pick up pipe there this a round type or oval type the round type is what is required https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=x20vex+removal+of+balance+shaft&prmd=visn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw-6W31OzYAhUMJsAKHdOvDN0Q_AUIEigC&biw=768&bih=917#imgrc=yGsuHpedCy17xM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
