Hal,

 

It is important to cure oil surge in the sump of these engines.  When we
raced them in the 1960's Cosworth Engineering  supplied a sump which had
a horizontal baffle with a slot in the middle to allow the oil to
return.  The baffle should be at the level of the full mark on the
dipstick.  It is very effective and easy to make.

Hey all,

            Ever notice when you drive hard through a corner the racket
the pistons make? Is there an oil pan or gravity based pump that is
available for the 1600 cortina engines. Have any of you guys ran into
this if so how did you cure it besides over filling the oil. On a litter
note.... I got into a bit of a race through some hairy corners with an
old sedan Alfa. I killed him in the corners but his horse power kept
closing up my lead, then of all things my throttle stuck wide open. The
beautiful thing about an old car is that when you turn off the ignition
you can still steer and brake. So I started the car up in 2nd quickly
into 4th hit 65mph turn off car. Repeat sequnce all the way back home.
Traffic lights and stop sighns were tricky though. All in all now that
its back in my garage a funny experience!
