+1 very good idea I use to see pressure drops and now it on 70 - 80 PSI all the time unless RPMs are down

thstone, thx for the link. Great info. I'll move forward this morning.

I'll look closer but on initial inspection it appeared the lower rubber edge on the wings causes the baffle to be too high for the mounting plates (gap between). Do I just tighten the bolts down or trim the rubber for a perfect fit?

How long should the gasket cure before putting in oil and running? Didn't see this on the tiny instructions on the gasket tube.

The Loctite 5900 technical data sheet says to cure for 7 days (click on link and scroll to right hand column on second page). But that seems like a LONG time so I waited 24 hrs before filling with oil. Your choice on how long to wait.
