AEC sump wanted

Has anyone got a complete sump for an AEC 590 to fit a Routemaster? A client in Belgium has recently had a piston go through the side of his engine. He has another engine but no sump!

That makes 5 AEC engines I know that have gone bang this year!

My bus number (if any): RML2532

Re: AEC sump wanted

There are at least two RM's at PVS with engines still fitted. Although all the auxillaries are gone they both have sumps.

My bus number (if any): RM 912
