Windage tray + oil pump surge baffle fitment

[koabi at mcleodusa.net (koabi)]

It looks like there is about 1 cm or so of overlap that would have to be
cut off the oil pump baffle in order to use the 16v one in conjunction
with the windage tray/oil pan gasket/shield.

It's a shame the ABA baffle I had completely disintegrated.

Anyway here is a pic of the engine.  I painted it an aluminum color so I
can pretend that it's light when I have to carry it.

Thanks for the feedback,

I have not done this yet, but I believe you can indeed use both.  The
baffle will have to be modified of course.  I had planned to use a
dremel to cut off the top of the baffle, the part that skims oil of the
crank as it goes by.  AFAICT, this will work, but I have not done it
yet...

I hope that helps a bit...
