I am missing one of my cylinder head baffles. How big of a problem is this? I assume it effects airflow, but can I get by without it?
It looks like I would need to remove the pushrod tubes to get this in place. Is that right? Can I do this without dropping the engine? Thanks, Mike |

Very important! It's what directs air over the bottoms of the cylinders.
Yes you can do this in the car. You will need 4 inner and 4 outer pushrod seals, remove the rockers, pushrods and tubes and you should be able to get the deflector in. You may be able to sneak it past the exhaust. Put it all back together and set your valves. |

Just remember to note the location of each rocker and push rod so you can put everything back in the same exact location you pulled it from.
