What if instead of extending the horizontal plate out to the sides more, we had it take a 90 degree turn upward for that 0.75"? Than perhaps some small openings at the base of it to allow oil in the middle against this new vertical wall a place to pass-through to underneath the plate? What are your thoughts on that? |

For those that are nervousness. I've tracked my AM pan for over a year now. NO PROBLEMS! The pan where it bolts against the block is flat. No groove. I used black rtv that is O2 safe. NO leaks around the pan. As for questions about the baffles. Don't worry. phunk's pan is an up-dated version of the AM Perf. So it will perform. If I didn't have the AM Perf pan. I would be up phunk's asss about one too.

Charles, you are on point
I wish I could commit to one of these functional pieces of art. If I could, I would buy one now and display it in my garage until I found the need to install it

Verticle spash control
I would like to buy one of your pans for my Z,
I like your suggestion of a top baffle that that has a .75” lip at 90 degrees up to aid in lateral control without hindering oil return from the back of the pan. However, I am concerned that there needs to be more baffling to reduce oil splashing up away from the pickup when the car is pitching on uneven roads. I would like to see a top baffle that also includes a down pointing 0.5” lip inside the chamber around the pickup to trap oil if it tries to splash upward. I don’t think this would hinder oil from reaching the pickup from the back of the pan or from the sides through the trap doors. Will you make this baffle design available on this initial production run? |

The standard baffle already shown will be available for certain. I am going to play with some alternate designs and if I come up with something still manufacturable in sheet metal using lasers and bending, I will present them and any slight cost differences they may have if any.
For any more complex billet top baffle plates, I am not currently working on anything for that. |

PRESALE LIST moved to first post to make it easy for everyone to see and watch for updates.
I will work on some potential baffle updates for you guys over the next evening or two and post images. Please stay tuned for that. |
