Deep Oil pan question

[Littlemicrocars]

great advantages.... takes the heat out of the oil better than a steel pan.. You can throw magnets in thru the drain plug hole ... Much better to be on the bottom of the pan...where all the smegma is. and this will trap metal before it gets to the slingers on early engines. 5 or 6 magnets work better than one...LEO

I didnt reuse my magnets in my aluminum pan. They wont stick, but they could stick to the oil screen inlet. IF one hit a bump to hard and they got close enough to the pickup screen who knows what. I do have the drain plug magnet tho.

IIRC Vech says he glues the magnets to the bottom of the aluminum pans.

Another lower body (motor) part that reduces road clearance IMO.
Trying not to be the cranky old man but they would have come with a larger sump capacity if it was really needed.
Over on the Ural site some folks install the deeper sumps. Primitive Splash-bath. Alway a debate if needed or really does anything other than just make the owner feel better. Of course the skid-plates do not fit anymore and off-roading is a no-no.
Doubt anyone is hitting dirt roads with any /2's, at least on this site.

Many years ago I had a '72 Mercedes that a previous owner had installed a deeper sump on. One of those Diesel "Beirut Cabs" that run 300,000+ miles. Hit a small but frozen chunk of snow/ice that fell off the wheel-well of a car in front of me.
What a mess, instant oil change.
