just to make cleaning it easier if the worst happens

Spoke to Karl about this when collecting my engine from him last April,and he said there's no need for a baffled sump on a RST as ford did a good design in the 1st place.I agree with him,as I've been doing trackdays since 1995 in RST's and have never had any problems regarding oil starvation.Regards,Micky
