johnboy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) That is the question, is it really necessary to use a sump baffle plate on the xe in a manta? Edited May 20, 2015 by johnboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicsManta Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 depends i gess on how hard you are going to drive it. if you are braking and cornering hard then i know i would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Power Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 not really to be honest. Its not really a sump baffle its a windage tray, it removes excess oil clinging to the crankshaft and stops it splashing back onto the crank. This was far more of a problem with the front drive sump than the manta sump. it's pretty difficult to get oil surge with a manta sump and correct oil level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
