ok, so another small project on my list of small projects wile i am rebuilding this motor. i have and i will continue to Auto-x this car, and have been looking to do some small simple mods that i could do to help A: avoid posible issues caused by harder driving conditions, and B: might help give any kind of performance increase...
this is more on the condition A. my original reason for why i am having to rebuild a motor for this car is partialy due to some harder G's from when i was taking an on ramp loop. ( thats not all of it, but part of the condition that caused my perdicament) so in thinking about that, and seeing how "race motor" application oil pans have baffles or gates built into the pan to help keep oil from sloshing away from the oil pick up, i was thinking about welding something in to the pan wile i have it out, and sort of do a simplified anti-slosh system. nothing to complex, so a gate design is out of the question. so lets look at what we got. the oil pan: and the matirial i got from home depot that i was thinking about using to make some baffles. gonna work on some concepts and post em in a bit.. any suggestions, opinions, or even perhaps pix from anyone who has done somthing like this before. dont hesistate. go for it! -------------------- |

it wont hurt, but its really hard to weld on these oil pans. but unless you are doing serious road racing like autoX you really dont need to do it.
