I spent this morning modifying, test-fitting the Milano sump on the 164S engine, as well as modifying the 164S block to allow bolts on all holes on the Milano sump, and grind the 164S oil pump housing. It took some 100 iterations to get it just right...
First some pics of the Milano sump. In retrospect I suspect that the slight modification shown in pics 1 and 2 may not be necessary. The modification in pics 3, 4, and 5 is key along with grinding of the 164S oil pump. As you can see in pic 5 the area of the sump pressing the gasket to the block is left intact. This was possibly by grinding at an angle and combine it with grinding of the 164S oil pump housing (I could have used the Milano oil pump, but this was the route I had decided on).
