Sump problems

[VeedubVR 0]

Changing the oil yesturday and noticed theres a few scrapes on the sump from where its been catching. The sump plug is even worse.

Done a bit of research and the R32 seems a shallower sump but heard if it hits it will shatter unlike the VR sump which is stronger.

Where can I get a strong shallow sump? Im know im going ot need a new oil pump and pick up (R32?)

I dont see the point in running a sump guard becasue it only reduced clearance. Unles I get a shallow sump and raise the engine then fit 1 or a skid plate then the clearance might be the same but it wont be worse.

I have thought about engine spacers, but how big do the spacers need to be? Does it add extra stress when raising he engine on other parts?

Thanks

i think the r32 sump is about 1"-11/2"s shallower so you would be better fitting that and a sump guard if its possible you are low enough to damage the sump

Never thought of that option haha.

Any companies that do shallow sumps?

Whats size spacers for the engine spacers? (or is it not advised raising the engine?)
