As above, I made a batch of sump baffles up in conjunction with JoH a while ago and I've still got some left in the garage.

Offering them to T-Bar members at a discounted price of £40 with 10% donation to T-Bar from each sale!

They can be slotted into the sump (They're a snug fit in the sumps I've tried here) although you can weld them in too. As there is variation in MG/Rover's casting process, they may need to be fettled slightly with a file/grinder (although slot straight into the 3 different styles of sump I have here!)

JoH has just done a nice how-to for fitting them

That's a good price.

I bought the Minster engineering one for around £240. That sat in the garage and rusted so I asked Jon to get some made in stainless when he bought my supercharger project. I'm now going to fit them as I have just taken the oil cooler pipes off.

Interesting! I take it that oil slosh is a problem on the K?

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

It's a problem on those who go round long corners fast!

If the oil light comes on, it's normally too late as the damage has already been done...

Standard driving probably won't cause problems but track work might.

I bought mine as part of the supercharged engine project but now I have it, so I will fit it. ;)

I wondered if it was fast track related.
Do the track fans still dry-sump modify the engine like we did back in the day?

Yes if they've the money! Dry sump system for k-series is around £1200+

I think you have to weigh it up against the cost of a replacement engine - a standard engine is under £500 whereas my bottom end was close to £2k!
