The Hard Motorsports Baffle


#1

The next in the continuing theme of a thread for each oil control solution…I give you the Hard Motorsports oil pan baffle.

This looks like a good design. There is a trap door forward to make it harder for oil to move away under braking, and a trap door on the left to bring oil to the pickup in left-hand turns. It looks similar to the VAC design, but maybe not quite as pretty.

At $285 installed this a good bargain for someone disinclined to DIY an oil pan baffle.

The baffle has no scraping functionality so ideally would be used with an I-J or Metric Mechanic crank scraper.
