One of the winter jobs to be done is increase the capacity of my sump, can someone tell me how to baffle a sump, I think I know, but the last thing I want to do I wipe out my crank for the sake of " I Thought that was the way to do it" syndrome,
Is there a source of info telling me how to baffle my sump correctly, or failing that, I remember seeing a baffle kit somewhere, any ideas.
Ian :) :)

Have a look at the U-Weld Moroso sump kit from Real Steel I have these on my Chevy engines and they work well. Actually mine are readymade Morsoso sumps but the U-Weld kit is based on these not sure if they are suitable for Rovers but I am sure Real Steel would advise you. .

a basic baffle consists of a horizonal plate bolted or welded in the sump level with the upper oil level, which has a hole cut in it large enough to allow the oil pickup through, ideaily the hole should have a downturned lip around it, the lip helps prevent the oil coming over the top of the plate under hard cornering/braking.

These guys will be able to tell you. Although I'm about to chop one, i've never baffled one.
