Check out the spacers to raise the lump!  :smiley:

I Was telling BaV about them the other day. apparently nothing needs adjusting like Dog-bone, driveshaft etc even though the hole engine can be an inch higher? if i ever go reaaaalllly low then the spacers and shallow sump may be FTW

wouldn`t it make more sense to have a dry sump (relocated) and have the ability to leave the engine where it is?.

ive seen this on some cars (french) where they actually lower the engine thus bringing the centre of gravity closer to the ground, if you get me?..  probably cost a fortune and i know youre after something to give you some ground clearance but wouldnt raising the weight have downsides!.

When your running low,raising the engine up an inch is the least of your worries.Go past 30mm or so and your making it handle worse :grin:
