TracTuff K Series OEM Aluminum Oil Pan Baffle
$0.00
I do NOT sell the baffle loosely... the only way this product ships, is welded into a pan.
The product pictured is the RRB/ RRC pan from the K20Z3 but all variants are essentially the same. The finished product includes two vertical baffles with trap doors that allow oil to move into the pickup area, but restrict oil movement away from the area. This is a common occurrence during left and right turns in a FWD configuration and/ or braking and acceleration in a RWD configuration. The horizontal baffle helps contain/ control oil from sloshing up the front or rear wall under braking and acceleration in a FWD configuration or during left and right turns in a RWD configuration.
The baffles are placed below the oil level to aid in keeping the oil pump pick-up submerged. Long high RPM turns can still create problems being oil is being pumped through the engine at its fastest rate and cannot return to the pickup area as a result of being pinned in some corner (relative to the turn) of the valve cover or oil pan. In these situations, you need more oil... and I strongly recommend the addition of Accusump when you get fast enough to run into this problem.
- RRC code refers to late K20 and K20Z3 pans
- RX0 code refers to the K24Z7
NOTE: Made to Order - Contact for ETA - If you are interested in a specific design that varies from this, please email us at sales@tractuff.com. Type S pump, the vertical baffle that the pump pickup passes through is extremely close to the pump and will require the removal of a small casting bump. Some twisting/ warping of the pan rail has been known to
occur; despite the use of a thick heatsink/ fixture plate and waiting for the pan to cool
completely between welds. The amount is generally minimal and I have never had
one not seal. Please apply a thicker bead of Hondabond, start ALL hardware
before completely tightening, and follow the torque pattern and specs in the factory service manual. The pan will
flatten out.
If your are supplying me with a pan, it must be completely clean, like white glove clean! I will not touch a greasy, oily, or grimy pan. I will not contaminate my work place or equipment and I DO NOT CLEAN PANS. If it is stained or has a gold tint inside, it must be fixed as this will increase the difficulty and time it takes to weld and compromises the quality. Considering the time and effort it might take you as well as the shipping to get it to me... buying a new pan might be a better option. Dirty pans will be returned at the senders expense or thrown away.
