While the front suspension is off I decided to replace the original Ford sump baffle with an improved gated baffle from Burton. The new baffle has four gates that should ensure that oil is always available to the oil pickup. I have had the oil pressure warning light come on a few times, at Snetterton and Brands and I think the new baffle is a necessity to prevent damage from oil starvation.
Getting the sump off in situ is a pain. Lots of time under the front of the car. Here's some pics of the engine supported by the garage roof, the bottom of the engine exposed having removed the sump, and the sump and new baffle that will go in next time I work on the car.
