Hi.

I might be wrong, but didn't people use to say the Canton design had som flaws- one of them being using the OE pan as a base and ending up with the forward facing wall of the rear sump at an angle causing forward motion of the oil at braking?

Anyway. After having the usual oiling problems in the corners, I bought a Canton pan last year. This one had a welded, vertical front wall in the rear sump to avoid the oil running off... I'd say the design looks quite promising with a small room defined by 4 trap doors where the pickup sits.

(Modded to clear the steering.)

There have been reports on that this type of pan (more than one design RR pan) do not stabilize oil pressure while cornering and the one & only true working solution is a dry sump setup. Thread in this forum somewhere.

Rick; I think I would have looked at other RR'ers experience on this type of pan before I made a choice.

I'm installing the Canton this spring after the disasterous oil- failure last year... ("How cold I be such a foool....")

So; I have no hands-on experience to shear on the subject yet.
Hopefully it will work.
