I divided these up since the cover separate topics. while we have the oil pan off I thought to install a baffle to prevent oil starvation. Lindsay racing has one http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/PANBAF.html Does this do the trick? Anyone have experience with them?

Thanks again!

Oil pan baffles were common with the S2 and 968. I think lindsey's is basically similar. They can help you from straving your engine and killing your bearings. Especially in long sweepers. Alot of race builders also re inforce the Pickup tube and add a extension to get the tube even closer to bottom of pan. Then you can also get a crank scraper. All these things help to hedge your bet agains killing your engine before it's time. If you are always on top of checking your engine oil level and she doesn't burn alot, then you May never have problems. The sound of Spining your #2 bearing is one I hope you never hear.

How come there's no love for the Technical part of the Forum?

There are a couple of options.
Source 951s parts (they came with a baffled oil pan, reinforced oil pickup tube, and crank scraper OEM) or buy from Lindsey, etc. "While you're in there", an oil drain plug washer temp sender would be nice.

Ya, Russell, people seem to use the General Discussion forum for everything, to the extent that it's almost useless for us to have any other categories.

I would move the technical threads to the proper place, but then people would complain about missing them, since a lot of folks don't use the "view new posts" function and just open the General forum and start reading, never even looking at the other areas.

Tom and Russell, you are correct, this and the motor mount threads should have been in the tech section. I had posted the parts needed one, then these were extensions of it and I posted then here without thinking about the area. Lol.

My bad

Thank for the oil pan info and suggestions all!
