Cant you just plumb the return into the rocker cover or the sump ?

I've run mine round to the oil-level-sendor hole on the other side of the sump. Haven't had the car running yet but I span it up on the starter motor and oil is flowing round nicely.

Seemed an easier optoin than taking the sump off.
