CJM Oil Pan

jrb55gh · 06-03-2015, 08:33 AM

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?

Don't need it. Have you even had your pan off and looked up there?

No I haven't. Could you help me? What would I see if I had pulled my pan? And why isn't my suggestion needed?

Thanks for those pictures.

WTF is this scraper you speak of? Can you point it out in the picture?

Thanks in advance

Check the photos in post #126 in this thread. Notice the slots in the shield under the crank. One edge of the slots is bent up toward the crank. These edges are meant to strip oil spinning with the crank and pull it down to the pan area.
