Just pulled the oil pan from my 928 and found there's not baffle or screen at all. The level sensor may also be damaged as there's a loose wire hanging from it, and from what I've seen in pictures, that doesn't look right. Question is, should I be looking for a shamrock baffle and screen for daily driving? I couldn't really figure out if it's supposed to be in there or if those are mostly for track cars as I've seen other baffles and crank scrapers discussed which I'm definitely not needing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They never came with them from the factory aside from the GTS baffle which doesn't do much but is easy to add.

The early style screened pickup will do something though if you really want to add one.

Mister_M

Very cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I thought I may have been missing something. Back on schedule to putting this thing back together.

The windage screen was in the early cars only. I upgraded one of mine to this setup when I was doing the opg.

It's not just the screen. You need the oil suction pipe with the rubber and to complete the upgrade. I've added this to both of my strokers.

Petza914

Yep, that's what I've got.

Kevin in Atlanta

No that's not it. That's a later version.

Here's what I've used.

Petza914

Interesting. When I posted my photos of what I was installing, Greg Brown said that what I was using was the best setup because of the windage screen and sealed pickup.

Kevin in Atlanta

Me, too. He was the one that pointed me to that setup. Hmmm.

Turned out to be a really nice pan with only a little impact mark on the bottom near the drain plug. No tears in the windage screen, no cracks in the clover, and the rubber seal on good shape.







Complete with the "later" (superceeded) pick-up to clover leaf seal.....

I posted these pics and the above in Red was Greg's comment - Post # 213 in this thread - https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-gasket-5.html

Think the secret was the "cloverleaf" pickup with the windage screen and rubber seal for the pickup to the "cloverleaf". Not all of this was in the photos I posted earlier as things were partly assembled.

Kevin in Atlanta

I see the expected oil pickup in the parts washer picture . That's not what you used?

Petza914

Yep, must have posted the photo of the one I put up for sale, not the one I used. Whoops.

@Petza914 & @Kevin in Atlanta You gentlemen have me interested, as I'm getting ready to drop my oil pan to replace the gasket in my '79. No stroker or supercharged motor here but wondered if I should look into what you guys installed while I'm down there, or should I just be fine with the stock configuration? Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance. Sorry to the OP for the hijack.

Kevin in Atlanta

I think your 79 has those items.

Mister_M

Yeah, mine's nekked. No screen, no baffle, no nothing. Do they sell these as reproductions somewhere or is everybody fighting for the old OEM stuff? At least from the pictures, I can confirm my oil level sender looks damaged, so I'll have to either find a replacement one of those or see if I can repair it. I haven't removed it yet, but there's a wire hanging off the bottom that looks like it's supposed to go to the float.
