Are you getting rid of the stock oil temp sensor? If so, you could use the port from that sensor for your aftermarket oil temp gauge.

Both 1/8 NPT and 1/8 BSPT are very common. It will depend on who manufactured the gauge.

I was thinking about changing the basic baffle top to have some short vertical areas like shown. I have to settle on the top baffle in the next day or two as the laser cutter will cut them in the next few days.

Anything to mitigate oil sloshing laterally is welcome as long as it doesn't impede oil returning to the pan.

I originally had the vertical walls further in-board, but I spaced them out to collect more of the oil returning from the rear of the engine without having to travel around the baffles

So we lose a half quart if we are replacing the spacer for this pan. Hopefully I won't notice that much in oil temperatures.

no clue.. i did it twice and i got the same result.. first time i used a measuring cup and the second time i used my gym shaker bottle lol

I cannot say for certain if you are losing any. We can figure on nismo13807's measurement being accurate enough to use... but I still dont have any exact measurement on the oil pan spacers. If they are a full 1" thick, they would displace 1.1 quart. You would be able to tell easily if your oil pan is at or lower than your crossmember.

As for oil temps, I cannot imagine noticing it at all. Oil capacity only acts as a buffer and slows down how quickly the oil system can gain or shed heat. I imagine that without adequate oil cooling, an extra half quart will only be able to slow oil temp for a few brief moments.

Im sure its close enough to go by! Even if you were off +/- as much as 10-15oz the overall effect is somewhat negligible.

i also happened to have a brand new z1 oil pan spacer in my room.. just measures it.. exactly 1 inch thick lol

Looks like at or slightly below

Just confirmed in the garage. Definitely at or below.

What's your ETA on shipping? I may put a deposit on this with the fuel starve fix you PM'd me about.

Thats quite low, lower than my personal taste for anything aluminum.

Spacer Pros:
-Lower Cost
-More Volume ~0.5q

CJM Billet Pros:
-Higher Ground Clearance
-Machined-In surface area for improved heat dispersion
-Active interior baffles
-Bling Factor (roll-over in style)

Pending arrival of the laser cut top baffle plates, I could have the un-anodized ones ready to ship within 24 hours of setting my mind to the small finishing operations.

I am hoping to begin shipping some of these next week. Actually, anyone that is raw billet without the drain ports, I could ship as soon as the baffle tops arrive.

That figures, I have to do an oil change this weekend. Guess it will be next oil change when it get's installed. How long does the anodizing take, 1-2 weeks?
