shorten it too.I had to.

of course it will, it sits about 1/4 above the oil pan bottom.. so yes cut it and shorten it..

how did u go about shortening that also? is it just a matter of cuttin it down?

I used a cutting wheel,just cut the same amount you took of the oil pan.You should only lose one quart of oil when you do this.

i need to do this too...so i'm guessing this doesn't oil starve the engine or anything right?

Ad a sump off to the side or something to keep oil capacity close to stock.

i'll post pics of mine soon as i get it. my buddy Wes(CIMLAFNATU) juss did mine. i believe he juss moved it up. not sure cause i haven't seen it yet but yeah...i'll post pics when i get it.

On the 2.6L you take out 1 inch or inch 1 1/2 i cant remember,you only lose one quart they have a 5.1 system.I talked with Isuzu before i did this and they said it would be fine.

you can also swap to the 2.3 pan, i did, it's just a pain to get your pan off.. just to be clear you have like a little mini pan coming off the bottom of a cast pan.. unbolt where the cast meets the motor.. I asked on here if anyone had done it when i thought about it and no one had.. but thats what will work best in my opinion..
