Baffled sump?



Hi guys

I plan on taking my 172 to knockhill next year and I’m wondering what these engines are like for oil starvation under hard cornering? I will be running Nankang AR1. Do we need to run a baffled sump?

any of you guys race there?

Don’t know of anyone who runs different oil spec. They’re tough engines, so many 1*2s out there being tracked but the engines take it just fine. Within reason :p

That’s awesome news man. What oil do you run? I’m on 5w40 now Renault stuff but unsure if I should go thicker

Yeah just stock Renault stuff, was elf, now castrol. Rev the car to 7800 as well and it's got 197 cams and few other bits. 212bhp
