[Tom_1569]

As the title says, who has the biggest dent in their VN/VP sump.

This is ours, suprisingly no oil problems at all, except the tinniest drip out the plug.

Also, you jacked up a car from the K-Frame with a scissor jack? You're a braver man than I

[PaRaDoX]

morton notice the engine stand aswell!

kframe is not a jacking location aswell hehe

i remember timmy you did this ages ago lol i remember you telling me about it! when you got parts off me once

actually the k frame is also a jacking point. i have always used that part and i also read it in me old vn book (that came from holden)

[Tom_1569]

I WIN!

Ok you win, but ours is still holding oil

tom that is about average.

Ours has been caused by a few things, hitting gutters going into drive ways, going camping, and my trusty supercheap auto trolley jack letting go and catching the car on the sump.

actually the k frame is also a jacking point. i have always used that part and i also read it in me old vn book (that came from holden)

Yep, K-frame is definitly a jacking point. I always go from the K-frame when ever I can, actually with the vn, I raise one side first, so i can get the jack under to lift from the k-frame.

The 88 wagon has a rather nice dent in the sump - I'll have to get a photo when the car is home next. The original engine was smicko. replacement engine has the dent.

there is a ed falcon at our tafe that someone jacked up by the sump, needless to say theres a perfect ring pushed and inch in to it,

i also somehow managed to put a good crease in the trans sump of my vz

yeh thats right
this was caused by a man hole cover sticking up in the middle of a gravel alleyway. looked just like an island, waiting for my unsuspecting sump....

not sure why we used the scisor jacks on the kframe.....
this was done at the mechs, had engine crane, jacks, etc

i got brake discs off you i remember, but was it front or rears?

[Keesh]

you can do alot worse than the sump, my new custom 2/12 exhaust copped a crease right down the length and my tailshaft has mase a hole in the floor pan under the back seat, never should have cut the bump stops in half loll, at least it was low

[LightningVP]

Damn....mine looks nothing like that, Mine has no dints and is still black all over the only noticeable dint on my car is on the little quarter panel section just below the rear lights...Not sure how to fix it as I'm not sure how that little piece of metal is stuck on...

[pow3rslave]

mines black all over but with oil, need to do redo the sump gasket

[padrickz88]

mines black all over but with oil, need to do redo the sump gasket

[jas98]

sorry its not a VN/VP its a ........Jappa LOL

Well I think mines bigger also with no photo, not a holden either had a Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 (V6 2.5L twin turbo) and that has a 2 stage sump lower and upper, i ripped the lower completly through the bolt holes that hold it on, e.g. NO MORE SUMP........ And yes engine screwed.

[jas98]

ill settle this bet....alls i need is a sl;edge hammer and a sump....anyone willing to lend me there car? lol haha

anyway my old vn never had a dent in it neither does my vs....well if the vs ever got hit (the sump) it would crack being cast iron.

[88GreenVN]

Took a photo of the very little dent int he wagons sump.

It's only a mouse dent. 1 out of 10. Just looked bad when on the hoist.

I've got the photo on the laptop at work. - work tomorrow I'll upload it.
