Hey folks,
I've not found a guide for this but read quite a few forum posts. My teg is going to be used for track use and I don't believe it has a baffled sump (still has full length dip stick, no issues refitting).
The Clockwise one seems well regarded and not uber expensive and most important requires no welding.
It seems procedure is:
- Jack up car onto axle stands
- Drain oil
- Remove front two bolts on front sub frame
- Loosen rear two bolts of front sub frame
- Remove bolt on centre front engine mount on sub frame
- Undo sump and carefully pry / lever off
- Slide out in hole made from dropping sub frame a bit
- Add new baffles
- Clean up mating surface
- Add new gasket sealer
- Refit and tighten
- Refill oit
- Wait a bit for the gasket sealer to set
Job done. Any issues with this?
One major questions is people talking of using an engine crane to support the engine. Is there a safety concern due to the engine mount unbolting / frame dropping?
Thanks all.
