Ok...so I am now well into the front suspension rebuild and motor mount / rack job. I'll be doing the sump gasket as well. Is there any value in adding the GTS baffle and any special equipment required apart from drilling and tapping?

Cheers

I converted the sump on my 1990 to the early pickup and screen. It had a GTS baffle in place that I removed. Other than drilling/tapping the holes no other mods were needed.

also fit the oil fill block off plate the water bridge has to come off to fit it

I really think "no."

Even if I plan on a few track days every now and then?

I need something there as when I pulled off the oil filler neck there was nothing but a hole to the sump. Might explain the poor running and an intake full of oil.

The GTS baffle "protects" 1/2 of the sump from the crankshaft whipping up the oil and pulling it out of the sump.

While not a cure to all of the oiling problems in these engines, it certainly is a step in the right direction, with no downside.

I tried this, years ago, to educe oil ejection/ingestion on my car on track days. Made no difference.

Been a long time since we've done "how to stop oiling problems." ("Bueller?") Searching the website will provide hours of material.
