I, yanked my motor yestergay, tore it down to the case, I was doing a rering and head swap, well today, I couldn't help my self, I split the case, figured what the heck, and I remembered talk on here about tuna cans. I tried one once, didn't like it.
These baffles, help keep the oil from rushing from side to side during hard corning, they actually, direct oil to the pickup, I leave about an 1/4" space on the bottom and ends, to allow the oil level to equalize in the sump, when the motor is off to get an accurate dip shit reading. I have no pressure lose, during hard corning(i.e. green light when you go around a corner really fast). Just thought I'd share this, and to see what opinions are provoked. Attached image(s)

Update:
My line on the left v/c is connected at the top. The right side is closer to the middle of the v/c. The 180 degree turn was a let hand turn so my right side v/c was getting a lot of oil running to it. But the good news is the right side v/c is dry, with no leakage of oil. The left side had oil leaking out of the top of the v/c to head surface area. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Paul |
