It needs a baffle plate between the sump and block then 200ml overfill of oil and you are good to go.

Is sounds like to me you need to get some miles under your belt!

If maintained your car would do 000s of miles fora round trip and plenty of tall days to boot.

Get your confidence up in the car and some miles in the past tense.

Great car and engine combo, enjoy.

Corner weighting helps, its not 100% essential, but an unbalanced car will give you some weird characteristics

Engine wise, fine as it is! mines a totally standard 919, no baffles etc (I fill the oil right to the top marker though) and my oil pressure gauge shows fine even on long bends!

Other than problems I have caused myself and a throttle cable snapping, I haven't have any issues in mine at all and have covered a lot of miles! 350miles in a day was done with no problems!
