You Don’t Have to Put Up With Potentially Damaging Oil Surge – There Is A Solution … And It Works One Hundred Percent.
We’ve compiled a “How To” ebook, will show you the design tricks of building a Gated and Baffled wet sump to eliminate oil surge.
Do you enjoy working with sheet metal?
Save big dollars by fabricating your own gated and baffle sump system… just follow the detailed instructions. Documented and recorded in the writers workshop.
It is a well known fact that nearly all road going Ford Lotus twin cam engines as fitted to the classic Lotus elan, +2 elan, Lotus Cortina, Twin Cam Escort & Lotus Europa, etc, suffer from excessive oil surge and the inevitable and dangerous oil pressure loss during high-speed competition historic events, or even while driving hard & fast on your favourite twisting & winding mountain road.
The picture above shows the original Lotus factory fitted oil baffle plate, a baffle plate that is next to useless, is it any wonder that the lotus twin cam engine suffers from oil surge problems!
If you’re like most driver’s, you probably think “the fix” is a momentary lift of the throttle, wait a few seconds until the engine regains oil pressure… The moments you wait in fear! Even a momentary lack of oil feed to the bearings at high revs could spell engine disaster.
So Why Put Up With Damaging Oil Surge?
A Constant Supply Of Pressure Fed Oil Is The Lifeblood Of Your Engine!
If the crank journals and bearings suffer momentary metal-to-metal contact, it’s just a matter of time before the bearings and journals will call it a day… A terminal rattle from down below, means that there’s big problems with the oil feed.

Russian roulette is a fools game, and so is ignoring oil surge, so when you hear the bang, that’s your Lotus TC engine throwing a leg out of bed…
Most OEM baffle designs are a compromise between economical production solutions, and a meager attempt at oil control.
But that’s simply not good enough… your high performance Lotus engine deserves better than that!
The diagram above illustrates what happens to the oil in the standard sump under hard cornering (Side to side) or under hard braking (longitudinal), with no control baffles, the oil sloshes all over the place in the sump, its everywhere, but NOT where the oil pump pick up pipe is.
A Gated and Baffled Twin Cam Sump Will Prevent Oil Surge – 100%
This is the ideal solution if you race in historic events where dry sump lubrication is banned in certain categories. Or if you drive your elan hard and fast on twisting winding mountain roads – there will be serious oil surge.
And here’s a word from the author of the ebook on offer – Oil surge and loss of pressure stopped immediately with the installation of the gated and baffled sump, I was simply amazed, because the problem was an ongoing occurrence for about two decades with the TC engine in the S2 elan.
So who has bought the book? Every one, from the weekend DIY enthusiast mechanic, to professional engine building shops, in fact after we launched the book, we thought if we sold fifty, that would be great, but it proved to be far more popular than we ever thought it would.
So if we can help others to cure oil surge and prevent engine blow ups, then that is a good thing.
And this is a great DIY fabrication project to do over the cooler months when your elan is not being driven.
In this book we provide all of the building details and tricks to construct and convert your own twin cam wet sump and original oil pick up pipe to a fully gated and baffled sump, and no one will ever know what is installed inside the standard sump, unless you tell them, and you will, because you will be so happy that the oil surge problem you had has vanished for ever.
The information revealed in the ebook was all documented in the authors workshop during the building and fabrication process. Information you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
