yep, dry sump is big bucks.

A simple sump baffle kit is a cheap remedy and functional.

off the shelf sump baffles for the k4 cost about as much as 5ltrs of decent oil.

I had mine tack welded in place at a local engineering outfit, so that was an extra 30quid.

The kv6 on the other hand needs numerous plates welding in place to baffle it up, the kv6 sump is pretty good in the first place.
