S-car oil pan baffles

[Mike Sylvester]

Part of being a great mechanic is being clever.
Bernie, you are all of that, however using liquid gasket on both sides
of the windage tray may be OK if in a pinch, but will not only be a
mess, but will also be a real pain if it leaks.
I wouldn't even know how tight to torque the bolts with the liquid
gasket in there.
