Thank you very much for your reply, you are a wealth of information, I have always learnt a lot from your past posts.
My bottom end with a 2.2 crank is now altogether, the vent pipe and star shaped rear seal deflector are fitted.
I find the deletion of both these items in the later engines very interesting.
Being an engineer, I always go by the saying that if you know how and why anything works then you can fix it, and although I can see how this pipe vents from the sump I still cannot fathom why the hole though both halves of the engine casing would not suffice. Do you think Lotus came up with the same line of thinking and the cost versus the necessity in production lead to the deletion of these two components?
