Guys,
I am building a 2.4 engine for my lightweight canyon carver. I picked up a reworked, ready to final clean and assemble case from "E. Motorsp." in L.A. After doing much work including clearancing of the case, I realized that there were no slots for mounting the baffle? George knew exactly what I was planning for this case.  Is there some option or will I have to return the case and start over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks in advance, Paul VDL |

If you are referring to EMW, I am not surprised at all.

Well, sorry to hear you didn't get what you wanted. It does, look like your case has the thicker/stronger and more desirable deck for a larger 2.4 liter motor.
The case I'm working on lately is a "W" case but, does have the provisions for a windage tray (or oil slosh tray if you prefer). Yours must be an early '72 or earlier? As already mentioned, a dry sump is an (expensive) option. You could extend the push rod tubes or run so called "windage" tubes like those used in formula V by the type 1 guys. Get a deep sump and run an extended oil pickup, fill it with less oil (?). Good luck with your project! |

And there's always the opinion that windage trays in a 914 make things worse as oil drain back to the sump is a problem.
