No problem.

I should have said that mine has the taller, narrower twin scroll sump - this is less liable to surge than the old single scroll sump but the baffle plate is an easy precaution.

Good points

Mine holds nearly four litres Dunk. How quickly would you expect that to run out as I would expect to do an oil change every two or three events (theoretically

)

I have lost 4 litres on a track day before at Snetterton just from blow-by out of the left hand cyl head breather .... gets very expensive. (It was topped up regularly during the day - not all in one go)

The cosworth baffle plate solved that completely. I still plan to fit a proper baffled sump but to fit with the twin scroll sump it will need to be a custom affair. (I wont go to single scroll sump as I may go equal length headers and this would rule it out)
