I'm still a little confused. I appreciate that the oil needs to clear the crank to avoid frothing of the oil, I also realise that my dipstick is now useless as the sump is 30mm lower and the dipstick strikes the sump before its seated. So the most I can fill the sump is to below the crank / crank baffle.
My concern is that under cornering the shallower oil level may expose the oil pick up. No amount of wings or extensions are going to be able to raise this oil level. However I think making a new baffle for the sump might help reduce any surge in the sump.
