Baffled oil pan.

There was a DIY meet at Modern Image in Abbotsfort 2 weeks ago.
Of all the things to DIY, I chose to install the baffled oil pan there.

Due to time limitation, I didn't take much photos.

When taking off the oil pan, I ran in to a few problems.

First, the engine mount was in the way.
I had to take off the mount to remove the oil pan.

What I found out after removing the oil pan was that there were quite a bit of old oil left in the pan after draining it.

New oil pan on the left, old pan on the right. Notice the oil return nipple on the new pan. :)

The next problem is the two tubes that holds the oil pan in place before the bolts are bolted on. Took me a while to find out why the oil pan was not going in.

In the end, the install took longer than expected.
I don't think it is leaking oil, but I have a feeling that it has a slow leak...
