MRP 7A Oil Pan

[racermr2]

Does anyone have experience using a Manon Racing oil pan on a long rod 4AGE(7A block with 16V head) with header? If so, what were your mods to the header and/or the oil pan. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Our Moroso oil pan has the same clearances in all the important places as the OEM pan does (regarding ex clearances and sub frame etc).

But when used with a 7a the stroke is longer so it does require our crank spacer (5mm thick spacer) so the rods clear the windage tray. You could mod the windage tray so it fits without the spacer.

Bazda: I understand your comments. However, this engine will be a long rod 4A(uses the 16V large journal crank and 16V head). My concern is whether the TRD header for the 16V will clear the Moroso oil pan without modification or be jam up on the pan and heat the oil in the sump. Any additional comments will be appreciated so I can make a decision to purchase the Moroso pan from you. If I need to make mods to the header this changes how I approach this engine build. I hope I'm not confusing you. Thx. Racermr2

Like I said the clearances are the same as the OEM pan where the ex passes through. Actually you get left with slightly more room on 1 side.
Also I will be heading over seas next Wednesday, so if you wanted to buy it now i can get it sent out or else im not back until mid October.
