CA18DET bottom end query...

[CNHSS1]

good parts choice

the ET and DET cranks are different though. The 'nose' of the DET crank is bigger than the ET version so wont fit the oil pump.
The DET oil pump would have to be fitted along with the sump. Personally i think the DET sumps pants compared to the ET sump, it has loadsa louvres in the windage plate (to allow oil to drain back from head quicker i guess) but that does mean that on hard cornering/braking/acceleration the oil can move away from the pickup. Personally its why i think DETs have a reputation for 'chocolate' bigends, whereas the ET doesnt (and has same block and bearing design).The pickup is slightly different on the DET which means it has to come thru the plate at an angle, which means the plates not as tight a fit around the pickuup either.

also the bottom crank pulley for the timing belt wont fit, although if you ask 30PSI on here nicely, im sure he has a modified pulley for soem beer tokens

DET crank brace fouls ET sump, so ET sump needs a little 'percussive maintenance' with a ball pein hammer to clear the DET crank brace.
