Making a Dry Sump Pump using Super Glue! - Project XF1 Part 3

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm watching a video from a small shop in Ontario and not from AMG in Affalterbach. Amazed at what you accomplish.

engineering at its finest, keep it up! been watching since the garage days, you have come a long way 💪

[@altink8823]

Its like a symphony watching you work man

[@rickrack78]

Consider venting the oil tank into the valve covers. When the scavenge pumps aren’t moving oil, they are moving air. If you vent into the valve covers, you will create air flow down the return ports in the heads, helping to remove oil from them

[@azargelin]

Yea thats a pretty good idea

[@xfmotorsports]

Well, the air is still free to move from the timing case but I will block off the breathers. The blow by will be sucked by the scavenging stages and exit at the external oil reservoir

[@rickrack78]

@@xfmotorsports , vent where you expect the least oil vapor. Maybe a separate crank case scavenge pump for blow by?

[@rlew12]

@@xfmotorsports It might be overkill but some engine builders like using a vacuum regulator instead of blocking off the breathers. Using a regulator lets you set it to fully blocked off, dial it back and then make sure that the vacuum stays consistent in the crankcase as the pump wears in and loses some efficiency. I'm pretty sure the reasoning is that you can tune closer to the edge without worrying about the back of the piston experiencing more resistance as the engine accumulates run time

[@zocka64]

@@xfmotorsports you might want to vent the vacuum, to much vacuum in the crankcase will blow seals, but slight vacuum is good against loses

I use the superglue tactic with wood working, just use the blue painters tape to make separation easier. Works like a charm, cool to see it working for machining.

You are correct. Cant weld the aluminum. Probably the type of aluminum. Most steel cars are also glued to assist the spot welds. You can see it a lot in the older Mercedes. Ferrari also glued their chassis. This technique is probably about 40 years old now

[@KayJblue]

I’ve been really busy and I’m so glad I can watch this now, incredible engineer and inspirational.

[@ryancuda45]

the old super glue trick, that pump is amazing you guys do great work.

[@nobodynoone2500]

There is a reason the OE ones are hardened steel. Curious what clearances you have in relation to pump walls. Also, I suggest still doing an oil test unless you use 0wt. Cool project, but looks more like a proof of concept than something i'd use. Open to being proven wrong as usual.

[@nickacelvn]

[@joey_f4ke238]

[@SavedbyHim]

[@frednerk5959]

Make sure the oil tank has sort of deaireaition stage in it.

[@eformance]

I suggest making some bronze bushings to press into the scavenge stages, they will be more durable than the bare aluminum for the shafts to ride on.

[@hashemmi24]

Amazing work as always, since you are working heavily with aluminium, may I suggest annodizing? Will cause some tolerance issues on critical parts, but will leave a hard surface, hold on to oil, and allow for a nice finish

[@MiGujack3]

Man, you make this look so easy.

[@David-uu4ij]

[@sevenpaulperalta929]

I hope someone develops a dry sump for the C63 M156! Maybe you could give that project a shot one day?

[@tonnilerche]

How about heating everything to your expected oil temperature? - to check for tolerances during thermal expansion.

[@griptopia]

AJ has a good point there.. A small shop can have an amazing CNC machine.. I'm in the same position.. CNC game changer! But it's your creativity that got the end mill rolling.. (ball / end mill whatever)... i'm doing something similar with a V12 (old group c car) so watching this is giving me good motivation and inspiration)

[@MinhDangcraft]

Is there a part 4 in the making soon?

[@robevans916]

It looks like the pump drive gear is stock. Expecting to run such high rpm (almost double the stock median engine speed) have you considered cavitation being created by spinning g the pump too quickly?

[@markj6049]

Great engineering work! I have a question though... the clearance between the lobes of the pump is very fine - has the thermal expansion of the lobes been tanken into account, so the pump lobes will not make contact when the engine and oil is at operating temperature?

[@WaemYt]

that's just cool, great job. But do you even need that much oil flow or pressure, it also looks like it takes some power to rotate.

[@modified504]

Question about your pistons. Can you make a set that would measure 102.2? That would fit the m113k aftermarket rods?

[@wernerdanler2742]

That oil tube that runs from the back to the front has that fitting that just connects with nothing really holding it. Seems I saw a video where that started leaking bad and starved the engine of oil. You know what happens after that. Destroyed his engine. There has to be a better way to hold it together. I think there is just an o-ring there which can deteriorate. Your design is ingenious! I used to run cnc and electronic tracer machines back in the 70s and 80s. It's all in the setup especially when you run tolerances of -0/+.005 inches on titanium.

[@sammcbride2464]

That flow is crazy. What happens if it constantly runs dry? That sump will probably outflow the inbound oil pump by far. Is there any kind of bypass that maintains a certain amount of wet level in the sump area? Is it even a concern?

[@orchidtoyo]

Hope you're going to seal the housings tho. There was a lot of leakage out of the sides

Welll.. did you guys take thermal expansion into consideration being aluminium?? Would be interesting to see how it deals with hot liquid.

[@964cuplove]

Surprised your pumps take the oil from the middle of the pan… if you drive a long wick curve won’t that leave the pumps possibly just sucking in air ? Or is the external dry sump reservoir big enough to allow for that ?

[@THESLlCK]

Is this going to be a flatplane?

[@BmwpetroldoorshoppingcarNordsc]

Amazing work as always. What about the E55 amg manual swap? Can you not sort out the electronics?

[@1niceEnte]

What means XF spelled out?

[@xfmotorsports]

Extreme Fabrication

[@eformance]

You need to avoid removing the base plate from the vise between machining operations, that way you face the fixture once, then glue on a bunch of parts and don't have to face the fixture every time you put it in the vise. If you doubt my advice, put the fixture plate in, face it, then take it out and put it back in and run a 1 tenths indicator over the entire face.

[@blinkyd4952]

What about adding gaskets between each stage 👀?

[@mnielen]

Not really needed since the scavenging stage doesn't need to hold high oil pressure.

[@LiamStevens]

Great Stuff! Loving all the Burton gear!

[@SoldfMC]

I see a torch next to the parts when you used a hammer to separate the superglued parts. Did you use the torch to weaken the superglue or was it there for some other reason? If you didn't, use a torch to weaken the superglue before hitting it with a hammer.

[@danieljohnson2543]

[@snex1337]

Is there any reason why there isn't a gasket/silicone between the aluminium layers of the dry sump?

[@D3nn1s]

I thought the same, but vasically theyre really precicely manufactured and aluminum can be ment quite easily, so the faces align to each other i guess.

[@bertram-raven]

A wet sump should have baffles to stop the issues you discuss with pickup; basically, the baffles keep the oil "calm" but have holes in each baffle to allow oil to flow. Only motorcycle wet sumps do not need baffles.

[@synocate5602]

No bearings?

[@custom13monky41]

Nice big pompe

[@anomamos9095]

The wings on the sump are now unnecessary so I would cut them off as well as creating a mini sump under each set of bearings to catch and channel oil to the scavenge pumps. Otherwise your dry sump system will be very inefficient and cause some of the problems you're trying to solve.

[@Aladinscave]

Fantastic fabrication 👌🏻 Will it be beneficial if you ad locating dowels between the pump housings ? Will the aluminium pump rotors hold up to the constant torque fluctuations where the shaft go through the rotors? Aluminium is soft and it might wear premature. Just my 2 cents. Great work guys can’t wait to see it run 🏁

[@finlay230]

Very impressive work 👌

[@StanleyKubick1]

I thought one of the main benefits of a dry sump system besides reliable oil pressure, was the increased clearance from running a flat pan?

XF is the new AMG

[@prestonengebretson2920]

I would recommend changing to a brass hammer instead of a steel ball peen...Also, with your aluminum pump end plates and aluminum pump lobes floating on the shaft. Will there not be a problem with wear of the end plates and ends of the pump lobes without any thrust bearings? Usually aluminum on aluminum will gall, but with the oil perhaps not?

[@wolfman5494]

Curious about the wear too, some oil lite bushings pressed into each housing around the shaft that sits a bit proud on each side as a minimal thrust surface was my first instinct to up longevity for both shaft and rotors.

[@prestonengebretson2920]

@@wolfman5494 Yes...and I have never seen Pump Lobes made of Aluminum in my 40 years of building race engines and doing prototype design...I would have chosen 4130 and had it Heat treated and then Wire EDMed...hope those aluminum lobes don't fail and cause instant engine failure...Even cavitation erosion or fine particle erosion of the Aluminum Lobes will open up the tolerances enough to cause problems.

[@escortmad]

@@prestonengebretson2920 check out Dailey engineering drysump pumps they are all alloy apart from the pressure section which is one 4140 spur gear and one bronze gear for wear use. Most drysump applications are alloy now with a hard anodizing for any wear resistance.

[@douglasharley2440]

SO SWEET!...as always. :) that superglue mounting trick is a *huge* time/effort-saver, but personally, i'd use a block of wood or something to cushion the hammer when knock the piece off. using a steel hammer on a machined metal part is just asking for trouble, no matter how careful you are. lol, just my $0.02, which market-price-wise is worth significantly less than that actually. :/

[@jasonruch3529]

What kind of cnc mill are yous using?

[@alanhillyard1639]

Don’t bother with a screen over the pickup, with aluminium gears I’ve had them chew through bearing material from a blowup with hardly noticeable loss in efficiency afterwards. Screen over reduces efficiency for all time. Also, one of the key benefits of dry sump requires scrapers, you should do a new sump for this with individual chambers with scrapers that are a close fit to the rotating masses.

Usually there is an indivigual stage for each pair of cylinders but in this case since we werent changing the upper oil pan and wouldn't have been able to mount the engine lower because of the flywheel size, there wasn't much gain doing that

[@777MAV]

@@xfmotorsports if I understand right you mean distribution of scavenge pumps along the length of the block. My question was about putting scavenge points on right/left sides of the sump that looks pretty wide, so in turns you might have some oil in the sides.

@@xfmotorsports If you scavenge from the same place, is there an advantage of using 3 scavenging stages instead of 1 bigger pump? Not trying to nitpick, just being curious. I was thinking maybe it's for redundancy, since scavenge pumps are said to be not too long lived, or maybe since you are bolting the new housings to the existing one, a single stage wouldn't have fit.
