I used a 2s rubberised cork gasket on mine with some aviation sealant. Has been mint so far.

Thanks mate. I had already planned on doing a dry fit. 😊
I've learnt a lot from all my trial and error over the years. Lots and lots of errors!

Just a quick heads up with the moroso sumps (not specifically the 3sgte) is you may have trouble fitting the sump if you wind all of the studs in before you fit it. If you do try, make sure you do a dry fit with no sealant, just in case it wont go on.

Sump looks good, i hope it helps your oil pressure issue, if not maybe look into a 1 quart accusump.

They are designed for circuit racing, if you dont pick one of their drag sumps bradm. Plus the extra capacity and the fact they are designed to hold the oil around the pickup is better than a stock sump. Plus they are more rigid than a standard sump, which does your main bearings a favour.

I have it here. It looks great. Hinges on the 3 sides of the chamber.

They certainly are, hinged baffles in a forwards/back direction aswell as left/right.

Moroso stuff tends to be for drag racing, are you sure it's going to be baffled correctly for oil surge with cornering loads?

I was watching one of my Wakefield Park videos last night and noticed that the car loses oil pressure when going around right handers. I can run more oil in the engine to counter this though I will also be baffling the sump to be safe.
Do any of you have any DIY designs for 3SGTE sump baffles that have been proven to work?
I want to make sure if the engine does ever get a little bit low on oil, the pickup can still get enough oil.
Thanks
