Lizzord30 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Like the title says looking for pictures of the baffle installed in the oil pan. Lets see what you got. I want to do this soon before I put the oil pan on my engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 You ever watch a snow plow go down the road? While you are experimenting with this, get something about the consistency of oil, put it in the pan and shove it around and see what happens. The pan holds 4 quarts and that's just up the level of that stock baffle. The baffle there is already good for stopping and cornering but if you want to increase capacity in the front you should use some spring loaded baffles to keep more of the oil in the sump most of the time like you'll see on other pans. Once its in the pan how do you keep it there and not restrict it from coming back in. This first one is the earlier crank scraper they sold, now they leave a piece across the back and for extra $$ they will put on a drop down baffle but you can do that yourself. http://www.b2600turbo.com/images/IM001947.JPG http://www.b2600turbo.com/images/IM001858.JPG http://www.b2600turbo.com/BE1/IM002472.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 My pan holds more oil now. It took me the longest time to figure out why it was always low after an oil change. I Wonder if i could shim down the pick up tube to account for the thickness of the scraper and extra gasket? http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/2012/DSC02355.jpg http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/2012/DSC02351.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) My pan holds more oil now. It took me the longest time to figure out why it was always low after an oil change. I Wonder if i could shim down the pick up tube to account for the thickness of the scraper and extra gasket?After the next oil change, read the dipstick then BEND the arm on the upper tube by pushing it down further so the stock notch matches the correct oil level.

I Wonder if i could shim down the pick up tube to account for the thickness of the scraper and extra gasket? Why not add just a little more oil? You have the extra space from the pan being a bit lower. More oil wouldn't hurt. Besides your pan is lower but your oil pump pickup is not.

Technology Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 how much oil will you be adding to make up for the height difference of 1/16th inch or whatever the thickness of that scraper is? Not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
