Some of the empi ones I looked at were junk (buyer beware)
It has never hit anything.

The '68 Bus of mine is homemade camper, a one of a kind which is
cool but it is much heavier than let's say a Westy. It has been
suggested to me to perhaps add a deep oil sump, with the idea being
that more oil will help the engine that will be working hard moving
such a heavy beast stay cooler. Do you think it is a good idea?
When talking to my local parts guy he wanted to make sure that I am
aware that the deep oil sump adds up to 2 3/4" to the bottom of the
engine. There are some choices that are thinner but then hold less
extra oil. Should I be worried about extending the engine closer to
the ground? I don't imagine doing any crazy off roading adventures
with this Bus, it is currently in not-so-great-a-shape so it is odd
just imagining it moving at all.
