[quote][i]Originally posted by AK[/i] bit more on baffled sumps here.... (a bit more like what i was on about ) http://www.mi16.nl/mods_sump.htm based on Mi16 engine though [i]Original Sump The original sump of the early Mi16 (D6C) engines is an ordinary alloy oil pan, nothing special. Compared to the steel version of 8-valve XU engines, a couple of things can be noticed. First of all, being made of alloy in stead of steel, the Mi16 version has a greater overall wall thickness to achieve the needed strength. Secondly, as it is a cast item instead of pressed, it was possible to add some extra features to the design. On the outside, cooling ribs are added to increase the outer surface area and therefore help keep the oil temperature lower. On the inside, some extra ribs are added to help oil flow towards the oil pump's suction entry. When driving a car, equipped with this sump, through long and/or fast corners you may notice that at some point the oil pressure will start to drop. This is due to the cornering forces (lateral G's) making the oil sling to one side of the engine, away from the oil pump, resulting in air being sucked in aswell as oil. This causes a drop in oil pressure and may ultimately result in bearing damage when ignored. [/i] [/quote]
