oil-pan sump options for om617s?

I found a potential solution:
in the pic, the sump is rotated forward, but don't see it couldn't be rotated towards the rear or the drivers side for better front pumpkin clearance.

If anyone has any other options/mods, please post up...

Very interested in options that would provide additional clearance regarding these front oil-pan sumps.

(05-15-2010, 03:39 PM)GREASY_BEAST Dry-sump?
I'm thinking a Dry-sump would be the last resort.
OM617 will be going into a 4x4, so you can now understand my clearance concerns (front differential).
I'm sure my mild suspension-lift isn't ideal, but pulling myself into my truck when I'm 60 is going to get old real quick
Hope to have some real clearance numbers In about a month or so...keep you guys posted.

looks like a simple modification of the lower-sump may be all that is needed
Found this sweet LandRover/om617 build...rig appears to have stock to mild lift.

i'm doing the same swap and have some issue with clearance. right now my steering setup is the limiting factor for compression . i have a little room due to spring over, but the rotated pinion reduces clearance again. i was thinking of removing the passenger side corner from the oil pan and making up for lost capacity by maybe adding an extra oil cooler....

No build thread yet...maybe in another month, need to pull original motor 1st.
anyone want to buy a 2f :p
The land-rover mod seems like a pretty clean solution, also an opportunity to beef up the bottom of the pan.
thanks for the tip sour diesel,
Hoping to get away with a mild lift (less then 4")...not looking forward to pulling myself into my rig when I'm 60 :p
Contemplating a minimal body-lift to gain flat-belly.
Will get a better idea during mock-up.

Extreme descent/ascent angles will starve the engine for oil for fairly long periods of time.
1998 MB E300 - 194,000 miles. Current/future mods: 7.5mm pump elements, Holset HX40 Turbo feeding Eaton M90 supercharger through custom fabbed intake system. Aeroturbine muffler, scratch-built 4" stainless exhaust. EGR eliminated, ECM recalibrated, modified rack position feedback circuit. Porterfield RS brake pads, Bilstein sport shocks, VDO EGT, oil and boost gauges.
2000 Ford F250 - 150,000 miles. Current/future mods: DP Tuner 3 map chip, scratch-built high flow intake, high output IDM, open circuit fuel system, ball bearing turbo, South Bend full metal clutch, slotted and drilled rotors. Autometer Sport Comp EGT and boost gauges.
I would be very cautious about re-designing the sump on an oil pan, especially in an off-road situation.

The modifications are kinda mild...checkout the expeditionportal link.
An oil accumulator would remove any off-camber concerns...wonder If I have room :p

manny, i took a notch out of the pan at the front. its not ideal because i do lose some oil capacity, but it does give me clearance to my 4x4 labs high steer. as you know by now, i'm not a great communicator, but i may be able to post a pic if you are still in need.

no worries
I didn't modify pan, hoping extended bump stops address clearance issues.
are you running Luke's cross-over steering?

with regard to oil-pan clearance:
I've also switched to fj60 axles = moved my front diff 1 1/2" to the passenger-side
reducing the likely hood of smacking the oil-pan against your front diff is always a good thing

yeah, i have luke's setup. i'm pretty tight on compression clearance because i'm trying to stay low. we'll see how that works out, may have to jack it up some. maybe get some pics up this weekend.

still no pic of installation. i only get about 3" max up travel before disaster.
i'll need to monitor the heft of the stock bump stops or replace with something more burly.

(05-25-2010, 04:01 PM)winmutt Cough, suprised no one has mentioned the Gwagen pan....The W460 300GD G-wagen has a single peice sump without the separate steel oil pan . It is virtually the same layout as the car part but has runners inside to channel the oil back to the sump quicker . A mate in ireland sells used G-wagens as part of his buisness. You could ask him if he has any used ones for sale.

(06-11-2011, 10:48 AM)kmaser The 300GD oil pan is for a N/A OM617 and has no provision for the oil drain back and does not physically bolt up.Eddie might have some spares as he handles a lot of the W460's and there are a lot of them are converted to M117's. The sand cast pan is thick enough to drill and tap for anything. i guess you mean the turbo return Line? . I am curious though,where doesn't it fit up to the car block ?
Or do you mean the pan would hit his diff?

The turbo and non turbo blocks are of different lengths. So it's not a simple issue of drilling and tapping. The G-wagon folks either fix the problem with extra bump stops--limiting suspension travel or make/buy custom engine mounts to position the turbo motor a little further forward.

How much longer is a turbo block?
I'll have to dig into the EPC and check the part numbers although the turbo block is a different casting to accomodate the piston cooling vents ,I wouldn't have though the engines were longer.

Im going on second-hand observation since I haven't spent quality time with the non-turbo motor. But I'm told bearing journals are wider to accommodate the extra power and so the case had to get bigger. someone once posted pictures and measurements on pointedthree which put the issue to rest over there.
Btw, mr manny, that's a great looking project. Good luck!

A mate here in OZ had the very first landcruiser delivered to Australia .it was complete with a brass plaque signifying this . These early ones are very simple,kind of like comparing a Ford GP from 1945 to a wrangler today. Just like a car needs to be..
Currently going through cruiser withdrawal, but know she will be worth the wait
BTW,
Another option is a narrowed pan from these guys:

A mate here in OZ had the very first landcruiser delivered to Australia .it was complete with a brass plaque signifying this .

another toyota fj40 transplant thanks to luke, mercedes, gm, toyota, extreme bends.... superturbodiesel!
manny, that's the best set of om617/ landcruiser videos i've seen yet! good work. the orion t case seems to be doing the trick. did you ever use the bump stops to save the oil pan?

Thanks
The Rubicon is a tough trail, bump stops were used regularly :p
I did find myself looking at bump stops on other rigs...I know mine have less shock absorption qualities, but I didn't notice a difference.
Orion definitely made this combination work...if your not crawlin on rocks, it would not be necessary.
looking forward other tuning opportunities, maybe even an Inter-cooler to reduce those EGTs when heading up to the Sierras.
