OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

SCAT Aluminum Deep Sump, 1.5 Quart, Type 4 Engines (1972-83 VW Bus and Vanagon, and all Porsche 914 4 Cylinder), 50020 is the only Type 4 Deep Sump we know of, and it's economical too! This will also convert your engine to a type 1 Screen and Sump Plate, for easier parts acquisition come oil change time! Adds 1.5qts of oil capacity so you have 5qts instead of the meager 3.5. Bolt this Heavy Duty 356 T-6 Heat Treated Aluminum Deep Sump onto the bottom of your porsche 914 or vw type 4 engine, you increase the oil capacity from 3.5 to 5 quarts, and the chance of sucking all the oil out (before it has a chance to run back down) is minimized! This kit was very well thought out and engineered, which you will appreciate when installing it!

Contrary to what a lot of guys will tell you, deep sumps are NOT oil coolers; they cool the oil slightly, but it's marginal at best. The purpose of a deep sump is to provide a steady supply of oil for the pump to supply to the bearings. If the pump starts sucking air the bearings do not last long!

This kit includes the sump, adapter plate, and all mounting hardware and gaskets There is also the oil pickup tube extension, which we recommend that you weld or braze on, but many guys clamp it on until their engine is apart for easier welding access.

Not many people know this, but the PROPER method of setting your oil level when you are running a deep sump, is to run it 1/2 quart "Low". In other words, on your dipstick the "Add" mark becomes your "Full" mark, and the bottom of the dipstick becomes your "Add" mark. Even doing this you have an additional quart of oil! This lower oil level will lessen oil droplets getting whipped up and blown into your air filter or breather box! Try it!
