Miura lowered engine oil sump

One of the common problems with a Miura, when cornering and experiencing hi G forces, is sudden drop in oil pressure brought about by a loss of suction supply by the engine oil pump. The most common cure for this is a deeper sump and added baffles.


shown above are the two factory versions of a Miura sump pan. Both carry the same part number for some unkown reason, usually a revision will naturally create a later part number. This is a factory lowered sump for the Miura and would require a lowered suction pipe as well.

The Bob Wallace design for the Miura lowered sump was a much more complete version.
