Can anyone chime in on a swinging oil pick up like used in this FA20DIT?
Apparently this, an accusump and a baffled pan was enough to run competitively in BTCC. Is there an assumption that the FA20DIT blocks solved the inherent oiling issues in the FA20?

"To give the best chance of being able to provide a high pressure supply of oil, a clever moving pickup is used. This swings inside the sump in response to the lateral and longitudinal g forces the car is being subjected to, meaning that it essentially follows the oil around the sump."
