Why do the oil return holes have to be drilled?

Its a design fault of the standard sump some of the oil gets trapped in the back of the sump because the drain back holes are so small. Its in the Tomei sump baffle fitting instructions.

[quote="bimbleuk"]Having seen a Striker go up a bank and hit a tree head on last week on track the front end was surprisingly complete . Yes the chassis rails collapsed and the wheels were pushed back but the radiator was still sealed and no distortion of the driver/passenger area was evident!

That's my old engine the new one is a bit more bling. I would mount it somewhere else but the passenger might object to having it between theirs legs ]

Heres a variation on the same theme

Buy a group N restrictor so that the head doesn't take on too much oil. I'll find a link for you or I can order two when I get mine
