Re: TECHNOSUMP -Pedro's baffled deep sump -a better alternative
I just checked with TuneRS(Taylor) and guess what- they were already modifying the Installation Instructions as described above ! They found the design/installation [i]was[/i] ineffective -just as I suggested above.
I'll make the extra 3 spacers required.
I'll also need to remove more material from the vertical baffle.They will send a dwg.
Now I have to remove and clean all that gasket sealant and start over. A whole evenings work wasted.
It will take way longer that that to carefully separate the parts that have new sealer(supplied in the kit) on them.The risk is damaging the faces of the crankcase halves ! God what a mess.
Reluctantly I must say this issue shakes my confidence in the TuneRS products.I also bought and fitted a TuneRS DOF IMS kit and am concerned that may have similar problems.Let's see how they handle the issue.
I hope TuneRS contact everyone who installed this (incorrectly) and alert them.If you track your car and were relying on the the horizontal baffle protecting against oil starvation... ........
