Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Okay finally found a good stock oil sump baffle plate; Drain the oil , drop the stock sump off, clean the mounting faces , fit the below baffle refit the sump; better control off oil surge. Cost £145-00 inc vat Can do a group buy if I get 10 orders I can these for £140-00 inc vat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 24, 2015 looks nice Mark, but if I can make one suggestion.. make sure the steel balls are not still present in those pop rivets. They sometimes come out.I assume it's from across the pond? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 So these are to help minimise oil surge, not necessarily eliminate oil surge is that correct? How exactly does it work Mark? How much would you charge to fit Mark? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 So these are to help minimise oil surge, not necessarily eliminate oil surge is that correct? How exactly does it work Mark?Think about what happens to the oil in your pan when you accelerate/brake/turn. If you corner too hard then you could see the oil level drop below the pickup meaning no oil in the system and a loss of pressure. When you fit a baffle it essentially prevents the oil just running out the pan due to G forces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 30, 2015 If you look back at my engine build Keith, you'll see pics of the gaping great hole at the front of the engine, where oil will rush up into the front cover. So, picture this, you're braking hard into quarry corner at combe, as you brake you turn righ, then continue to accelerate hard in a tight right curve. All your oil "could" be in the left front cover, not around the pick up, as knightryder has already said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Whilst something like this can help, it wont eliminate oil surge if you are generating too much G force too often, it isn't a guarantee. In extreme situations such as running slicks and downforce, the oil simply doesn't return to the sump in order to be picked up because the forces are holding the oil in other parts of the engine. Certainly running road legal tyres something like this can help. I will have one fitted as a safe guard as I do tracks day fairly often. I'd always recommend having an oil pressure gauge when doing track days. For two reasons: 1) to observe oil pressure drop as oil gets hotter. 2) to watch for oil starvation on long high-speed corners. (you get pressure drop when oil isn't being picked up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 I understood oil surge, just couldn't picture how this stops it, but after looking over at the owners side where Mark (I think it was) posted up a pic of the instructions, then it clicked how this thing works, for some reason I was picturing narrowing the area of oil or stopping it from moving to the sides too much but I've realised that it keeps the oil down. 1 Ade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
