excavator Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Anyone know about the e6 engines that were in a RM model? I just bought a nice e6 that was in a RM model that I am installing in a R Model and they had oil pan sump in front to clear 4x4 axle. My thinking as I am looking at this is that the oil pan can be reversed and I will pull the pan today to find out and then I woill have to check to see if the oil pump pick up tube can also be mounted on the other side of the pump. I figure some one might have some info on the front sump setups.thanks Jim Edited December 11, 2014 by excavator Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38070-e6-engine-has-front-oil-pan-sump/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
39 Baby Mack Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've never had to do it but I'm sure it can be done.The oil pan is symmetrical and can be mounted either way.The oil pump has two inlet flanges, the one that's not used is covered by a blank plate.Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38070-e6-engine-has-front-oil-pan-sump/#findComment-269987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
