Re: oil pan baffles, again

["Brandon Hull" <brandon@cardinalventures.com>]

Windage tray may be the correct technical term, "restricter" is what the
fiche calls it.  The pan gaskets are the same PN as for other 20V engines on
the fiche, only difference is that the S2 3B/ABY specifies "2" under the
quantity column, rather than "1".  So I bet it'd physically fit any 5 cyl
engine, with the only unknown being, as Bruce pointed out, does the
lengthwise slot accommodate all oil pick up assemblies.  (Surely _they_
didn't vary).  My 200tq oil pan (sorry, sump) had what sounds like the same
piece Phil described, an orange plastic piece which four screws held to
raised pillars coming up from the bottom of the pan.  It'd stop splashing, I
guess, but not help with oil creeping up the side of the pan during an
extended corner.
I believe that Alex Neckas is likely the expert on all this, having had all
the US pieces apart and side-by-side.  I also infer from he and Bruce's
comments that this piece is available from AOA as a stock S4 (ANN) piece.
