Change Oil Pan Baffle - Good Idea or Not?

[husker boxster]

Geof3 is probably correct in suggesting there have been design changes in the last 4 yrs. I just did not feel comfortable with forcing the sump cover on with that much deformation.

I have not had any issues with the sump cover leaking in the 4 yrs since putting the EBS baffle in. Since I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, there's no way of knowing how long I waited to refill with oil, but chances are it was 1 day not 7.

I was prepping for a 2 day DE at Kansas Speedway later that month. Ended up going there the next yr too. No issues with oil starvation.

Thanks to all the forum members who talked me off the ledge. Great bunch of guys.
