Here is sample of the oil I drained out. This was poured out of the oil change collector so was on the top. after settling for 24 hours.

I am trying to drop the sump. I have removed all the bolts and screws I can see attaching the sump to the block and the bell housing, but it did not fall off. I hve given it tentative taps with a hammer, but it stays put. Is there a trick to release it?

Probably glued on with instant gasket - it was a nightmare to get sumps off the 1ZZFE in the MR2, usually needing a chisel or wide scraper and a lump hammer!

scrape part of the gasket out with a Stanley knife, then pry the sump off with a nylon wedge in the hole.
You could knock a screwdriver into the gasket and pry the sump off that way. But you'll probably have to straighten and or dress the edges afterwards.

'Drop the sump' sounds trivial, but it's not. Even removing the front exhaust took a while, and involved blowtorch and angle grinder. I believe I have now removed all the sump retaining screws and bolts, but the sump has not fallen off. I am only doing this to inspect the oil pickup strainer, the car is scrap.

I shall pause at this point. I need the garage for other jobs. Jonny is here this weekend, I must remove the rear wheels froim his Astra.

Here are all the screws and bolts I removed.

Thanks Dave. I have found 2 more screws, left hand end, in tunnels, removed them, tapped sump with hammer and off it fell.


Looks like I was using tar as a lubricant.

Here is the sump. I presume the soft bit on top is the strainer.
