Yikes!!

This thread is becoming very nasty. Personal insults etc..

As a response to the initial post about a sump baffle/gate failing:

Unless I was forced by regulation to have a wet sump engine I would certainly use a well proven dry sump system.
That being said there are always failures associated with high performance race engines.
Many parts failures are not seen at first - until the failure is seen after xxx hrs (or minutes) of running.
Successful sump baffling can be made without moving parts (gates). I hate having potential failure areas in a $$$$$ engine.

Just my opinion of course.

Cheers guys - less personal attacks please.
