Where are the drawings? In the olden times we ran a stock pan with a sheet metal baffle between the pan and the engine.

I ran the oil level 1/4" above the baffle. Never a problem. We only used 85 PSI and 9,000 RPM back then. Running a racing oil has the advantage of additional anti foaming additives. Lynn E. Hanover
