Baffle Heulier suite
Caterham wet sump baffle.
Concerns ?
Since this products initial development we have sold over 30 units
We have received 2 complaints of the products poor performance.
After intensive investigation we have found that the reason for this is the proximity of the oil pick-up pipe in relation to the inner surface of the sump pan.
This is due to the nature of the Caterham manufactured fabricated oil pickup pipe and sump pan combination (production tolerances).
We have now checked many engines and the oil pickup pipe is very close or in some cases touching the sump pan.
Obviously this is not good for optimum oil pickup, as it creates a restriction.
Upon fitting this clearance must be checked and adjusted see fitting instructions.
In conclusion if the product is fitted correctly there will be no issues.
Fitting instructions / Guidelines for Caterham wet sump baffle.
These instructions are to ensure the unit functions correctly, due to the nature of the Caterham manufactured fabricated oil pickup pipe and wet sump pan combination (production tolerances).
The oil pickup pipe is very close or in some cases touching the inside of the sump pan.
This clearance must be set to 3 mm ( + - . 5 mm )
There are various ways of achieving this including :-
1) The end of the pickup can be filed / ground down. (take suitable precautions to prevent swarf entering pickup pipe etc, i.e. stuff with tissue or rag.
2) The sump pan can be machined internally (60mm square pocket)
(To measure the clearance use plasticene etc.)
Please note: the assembly of the engine after fitting the baffle is beyond our control.
It is the customers responsibility to ensure the product is fitted correctly.
Warning if you do not set this clearance there is approximately a
5% chance that the baffle will not function correctly.
