7A sump?

[timbo]

just saw this ebay listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Corola-4AGE-Engine-1600cc-16V-/250749571969?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a61d6d381

question; is that just a 7A sump or whole block? im unsure of any tell tale signs. also the dizzy looks slightly odd... not interested in buying but in what you guys can tell from the pictures.

mods: please move to appropriate section if this doesn't entirely fit.

ask them for a pic of the intake or back end of it. Otherwise just ask what the engine number is that's stamped on the block

[Sprinter86]

maybe ask how many flywheel bolts it has?

[Sam-Q]

maybe ask myself how I overlooked the most obvious thing

[timbo]

oh do tell sam!

[Sam-Q]

I was refering to me overlooking the 6 bolt crank thing. So yes ask them to count the flywheel bolts and more pics if possible

[timbo]

ahh ok, will do.

pretty sure i can see "4A" stamped on the engine block number area. but still, doesn't hurt to ask. 7A sump is definitely odd

4a block, 8 bolt flywheel. strange about the sump then...

4A 20v block, 7A sump.

Easy enough.

oh right. what, if any, are the benefits of running a 7a sump?

Nothing at all..

Infact in my 7a build i did the opposite and ran a 20v sump on the 7a block for a couple reasons..

there is two benefits the option to make a larger secondary sump and the fact my 7a sump holds 5L of oil with ease im not sure if anyone else runs 5L but i do compared to my 4a sump holding around just over 4L
