Okay thanks for this comprehensive response. I don't know how the oil system is arranged but from what you are saying oil pooling the opposing head initiates the problem and not sump sloshing. If this correct, a deep sump won't help if oil is trapped in the head. Is this correct?

exactly. the issue is that the sump can run out of oil. sloshing probably exacerbates this. the deep sump kits w/ an extended pickup tube can help to an extent (as can modified baffles), but the problem can still occur.

Just an FYI to those who just want to get the deep sump spacer, X51 oil pan is much better designed than the stock pan, check the photos on this rennlist post below.
