Baffled sump

Post by ace124 »

Anyone got a pic of a sump they have had baffled?
I dont mean winged/boxed for extra capacity, but rather stock sump with baffle plates strategically placed within to stop surge?

Thats a stock pan, with factory baffles. Im after something thats been modified to get some ideas from. Factory baffling does nothing for long right hand sweepers unfortunately.

seems to me a similar baffle on the opposite side would do the trick. you just want to keep the oil from climbing the wall. At the same time you cant restrict return flow. want to get fancy and go dry sump :roll:
