DOHC baffled sump
 
Has anyone baffled their DOHC sump? If you have do you have details of what you did and how well it worked.

After shortening mine is a bit long and shallow so I am worried about oil surge under braking.

Thanks
Matt

My RS2000 16v engine uses the DOHC sump. I've never had problems under braking and I can easily get the car to stop rapidly. I fitted an Accusump, oil cooler and pressure gauge out of concern and the Accusump has rarely been on.

My sump has around 35mm chopped off the bottom, no extension or anything.

I've extended mine, but wasn't planning to fit an oil cooler. Is the accusump a fairly easy fit?

Accusump isn't hard to fit. Good instructions help. Just need to make sure you plan the installation in your head, then order all the correct hoses and unions.
