Hope for the poor old '85/'86 engines.

The 928 engine is somewhat unique in that the fact that the oil returning from the heads and camshafts runs down the sides of the block. I really didn't want to interfere with this oil return path, so I skipped the scrapers. The side mount pieces on the screens were designed to block the "sloshing" of the oil when the car goes around corners, while allowing the oil to return without resistance, to the pan. This stuff is definately not some simple grating that is stuck down there and a spacer. There's a bit more there than meets the initial inspection.

Pan and spacer are installed without any gaskets. Used studs and nuts instead of bolts. Looking for any rigidity I can find for the bottom end.
Louis: Not much to look at. The oil pick-up is stock. I just built spacers to move it down .375". I did retain the stock GTS baffle with the windage trays, BTW. I figure that Porsche is way smarter than me.....that actually didn't take much figuring.
