oil pan baffles..

Been reading about a lot of spun bearing issues lately. Just wondering maybe poor baffles in the pan..when cornering hard..is letting slightly low oil levels uncover the pickup. .. just a thought..

Have you seen the lakespeed jr video about oil pressure vs oil level?

You don't need to be cornering hard to draw air and reduce lubrication. He's talking about too much oil, but I would say it's not enough oil.....

Driving a stock as built engine like a race car? Expect anything…

Look into an Oil Accumulator, Summit Racing and Jegs sells them.

It's possible under track conditions on a stock car which doesn't have an oiling system designed for track.

Well..bitog favorite auto company is having con rod issues. Have read so many opinions on this but no talk about oil pan baffles..It just seems baffling that a manufacturer these days can have issues there..
