Re: Maruah Sump Baffle
Yes, I am.
No problems so far (it has been in for a year and a half of Supersprinting).
I put it in after almost losing an engine to oil surge (was rebuildable with new HLAs, rings, bearings) at SMP South circuit in 2013. Having said that, I was running the oil level too low, and if monitored properly may not have been an issue. But when my engine was in pieces it was easy to install the baffle.

Thanks for the feed back StillIC. They were my thoughts. Cheap insurance to add the baffle while I am doing some work to the engine.
Cheers
