Hey Guys,

i was just wondering whether anyone else has noticed that after they have had their sump baffle installed there looks to be a very dirty oil on the bottom of the dip stick and clean as it comes towards the marker?

i dont know whether it is normal to have dirty oil sitting in the bottom of the sump with a baffle in? but i never noticed it before i had the baffle in?

the motor has had a full rebuild and a hot wash so it is completely clean, it shouldnt have grubby oil in it.

i am debating whether the pick up is picking up all the oil and filtering it properly or not?

i am hoping to change the oil soon, and i'll be sure to let it all drain out.

it could be just the build grease that was used and mineral oil, from when i was running the motor in?

anyone else experiencing this?

No i haven't experienced it, as i havent got one, but i would say it was from when the motor was running in.

more oil changes needed I would say. Due to having baffles there it's not going to be circulating aswell as its constantly holding the oil in the sump, when I rebuilt my ca18det I changed the oil 3 times in the first 1000km.
