Hallo Zusammen,
hier mal das offizielle Regelwerk laut SFI:
2.0 DEFINITIONS
2.1 A Sportsman Lower Engine Containment Device is used to constrain both parts and oil in the event of a failure of reciprocating mass and the resultant failure of the engine block.
2.2 The Absorbent Product is a material with a length and width much greater than thickness which has both linear form and strength sufficient to be handled either saturated or unsaturated. The absorbent material must be located such that the top of the sack has no air gap between the absorbent material and the engine block.
2.3 The service life of the product shall be five (5) years after which it shall be returned to the original manufacturer for inspection and recertification.
2.4 All or any portion of the Sportsman Lower Engine Containment Device pertaining to this specification shall remain as constructed by the original manufacturer and not modified.

3.0 CONSTRUCTION
3.1 A Sportsman Lower Engine Containment Device shall consist of a ballistic material formed into a sack which covers the lower engine and oil pan. A minimum of four straps shall be attached to the device.
3.2 The ballistic material (≥800 fps V50 rating) must cover the sides of the block and pan extending from no more than two (2) inches (51mm) above the bottom surface of the pan to within one (1) inch (25mm) of the head mating surface and extend to within 1 1/2 inches (38mm) of the front and rear of the cylinder case area and be permanently secured on each corner. The remainder of the oil pan (front and rear shall extend upward to the pan rail) must be covered with ballistic material that also measures ≥800 fps V50.
3.3 A device must be used to cover and contain the oil pump, (Note: any oil pump with a remote location away from the containment (oil pan) area does not need to be covered.) This containment can be a separate piece from the rest of the Lower Engine Containment Device and have holes to accommodate the oil lines. This containment does not need to be constructed of ballistic material, but must contain potential oil leakage.
3.4 The Flexible Type Lower Engine Containment Device must be attached to the engine block or header flange, attachment to the frame rails is prohibited. The Rigid Type Lower Engine Containment Device only may be attached to the engine block, header flange or to the frame rails.
3.5 The absorbent material shall be separate from the ballistic material and capable of being easily replaced. It may be necessary to encapsulate the absorbent material in order to maintain desired shape and location characteristics and not materially affect performance capability.
4.0 MODEL CLASSIFICATION
Any variation of the original design, i.e. ballistic material, absorption material, straps or mounting method is considered a model change and will require initial design testing.
