Mi16 Sump Baffle

[JRL 14 1 Cars]

After quite some time seeing my oil pressure reading drop when I cornered hard finally got me round to fitting a Constella baffled sump and uprated pressure spring. It certainly has helped I dont drive it that hard but I no longer get the surge as I used to so im a little less worrried now. Definitely worth doing and pretty easy to.

How much was it mate?

 

My Mi has just the standard sump at the moment. Engine is about to be put in. I was going to see how it did as mine will be only used on the roads.

 

But it is in the back of my mind of something to do. Whether i do it now or at a later time i just dont know!!

Id always have one now even in a road car. I got mine secondhand from a member on here. At the same time I put an uprated oil pump spring in. Even round roundabouts the guage doesnt drop unlike before.

you could alway see how it goes then just put one in next oil change. All you need is two new sump gaskets undo the sump bolts bang it in and job done.

Sump gaskets? i always thought they were just on with sealant

Sealant will be fine too.

 

It's basically a copy of the PTS jobby.

I bought two gaskets ready for fitting but when I took it to put it on the ramps i had left them behind at home so just used sealant anyway. Has not leaked yet.
