No worse than my current setup or anyone else running the wolf spacer.

I could go either way. It's definitely not something I would drop the pan to do but I'd seriously consider as one install

I have the JWT spacer currently and have no ground clearance issues. So if the new spacer would lead to same clearance I'm all in for a little extra capacity. Would you have to make a different spacer for the oil pump pickup as well?

Yes we could make a spacer that leads to that clearance if that is what you guys want. I will say if we can get at least 8 people in, I will figure out how to have them made.

I wouldnt personally recommend running the pan any lower than it is, but the decision is yours! Consider that if an aluminum pan is struck, it will not bend like a steel pan, it will just break wide open. I feel it is safer to keep the pan above the crossmember, hence its native design.

As for a pickup spacer, yes and no. Adding displacement vertically never requires additional pickup spacing because the oil level is set from the top of the engine by the dipstick. However, if you have room to go down, generally you do to take advantage of further reduction in oil starvation.

So my question wasn't half retarded lol. I was just curious. I have a JWT spacer sitting in my room and I really want this oil pan. I plan on doing a stroker motor and would love to have any additional oil cooling I could get

The spacer and it's added displacement won't offer any oil cooling properties, it is merely an oil temperature buffer. The extra displacement will cause it to take a moment longer for oil temperature to climb. To genuinely combat oil temperature directly, there is no substitute for a proper oil cooler.

I guess I'll pass on the spacer idea then. Doesn't seem the added amount of oil would be worth much of anything.

Pickup extensions kits are done!

For the pans without any side ports, thats everything!

The custom -10 ORB reamer is here now and hopefully tomorrow I can put the side ports on the oil pans.

As for the non-sideport pans... I can start shipping on Friday.

I setup a page on the website for US residents to finish their transactions. Anything out of the US I have to process manually which is no trouble at all.

CJM Active Baffle Oil Pan, HR/VHR | CJ Motorsports

Anyone is welcome to complete their transaction at any time! Or let me know if you catch anything in error during the transaction.

Thanks
