Sump Baffles - Here's My Attempt....

[philbey]

Gday all. I spent a bit of time yesterday rooting around putting a sump baffle in my 5K sump, after reading a post about oil starvation issues.

 

Mine's fairly crude, I got inspiration from the LS1 aftermarket sumps down at the local speed shop. I was originally going to run a vertical one halfway down the sloped face of the pan, but this one was easier to braze in.

 

 

It's got a narrow gap underneath at the back, so oil will still flow through, It's just to slow the oil down as you accelerate. After all it's not a racecar

 

Anyone else tried it with a K series sump?

 

You'll notice I had a bit of trial and error notching the front of the baffle to fit the oilpump leg!
