To the OP, I would be careful pulling any bolts that may be physically needed by the bottom end. Is that your engine or is yours still in the car? If yours is out, drop the pan and pick a location.

Oops, my bad. I would have thought all the windage going on in there would be a negative for oil to return to the pan without getting thrown around everywhere or even possibly getting locked up in there due to possible pressure in the area. Also thought that retrurning in the level would have a flow path through the system.

Thanks guys, two engines on stands at the moment, 2.0 with spun bearing out and 2.5 crate engine waiting to go in. Thought it would be prudent to arrange the oil return instead of messing about when I do decide to do it while the engine is out.
I think the best option in this case then is for me to just weld a 90 bend into the top of the sump, although welding old sumps isn't something i've done before !
