Deep finned aluminium sump

The newer ones are slimmer again so should be OK but I've no personal experience of them. While an engine does come out and go back in, it can be more of a tussle with the extra dimensions compared to a tin sump. Coming out is the easiest of the two directions; lift the front of the engine until the sump clears the nosepiece and then slide it forward. Keep sliding until the gearbox clears the bulkhead and then get it to horizontal sitting on the nosepiece - then howk it out. Back in is more tricky. Tie a rope on the gearbox tail flange and have someone pulling on it. The engine and gearbox end up at about 30 degrees from horizontal to clear the bulkhead and the rope has to pulled hard to lift the rear until the sump drops behind the nosepiece.

My experience with the chummy suggests that the back of the head fouls the firewall before the finning clears the nosepiece. I ended up opening up the firewall (temporarily).
