Perhaps you were waiting for it? The Cambridge Motorsport company can now supply an aluminum (!) Oil pan for the MG MGB 1800 engine! With enough bulkheads to prevent the engine oil from splashing to one side and you tear through the bend without oil pressure.
The consequences of such an action are hard to guess. The seal has also been improved. The gem only costs £ 299,63 excluding assembly and shipping. Further information: telephone 0044-1462-684.300
