	Hello to all the oil experts. I have a dry sump system to fit to a Toyota 1UZ FE engine. Know how to do all the external stuff, but not exactly sure how to plumb the actual engine. I am guessing that I need to remove oil pump internals, block off original pick up port, block pressure out to filter port and feed new pressurised oil into the engine by the old filter to block port. Any ideas?

	Not to sure where the oil pump normally fits on that engine, but basically you need to find a way to pressurise the system using a similar sized entry to the main oil gallery. The best way to test that it's working ok would be to utilise a mechanical pressure gauge plumbed into that gallery, prime the dry-sump pump and spin the end of the pump (belt removed obviously) with an electric drill. Don't start the engine until you're absolutely sure you've got decent pressure measured in that gallery. I've used dry-sump on a Lotus Twin Cam and Vauxhall XE and once set up is a great and reliable system. It's just an external oil pump that runs with one or two friends that clear out the sump! Hope that helps. Duncan

	Dry sumped 1UZ? This sounds interesting
