Hi Lewis,
I'm using a Canton roadrace pan (with kickouts on both sides and trap doors,
they have one specifically for the Tiger), along with their pickup and
windage tray. It fits well and I haven't had any leakage issues. If you're
intending to use (John Logan's?) fulcrum pin reinforcement that has two
pieces of tubing running inboard of the fulcrum pins, then this pan will not
work for you.
One Con of using the HV oil pump is potentially increased wear on the
distributor gear and/or camshaft gear. My one trip in the Tiger last summer
was cut short due to a couple of teeth being sheared off of the distributor
gear. I do have a HV pump in the engine, too... Not sure if it had anything
to do with that, but unless you've got a reason to use a HV pump, like
increased bearing clearances for high RPM operation, it may not be worth the
effort.
Best regards,
Theo
