IIRC that should be connected to your FPR.

Engine + Driveline / Valve cover baffles

« on: March 31, 2016, 02:57:28 PM »

I removed the baffles on the intake manifold prior to sandblasting.  I was worried sand may get trapped in the baffles.  One baffle is screwed on the other is riveted.  The bolt on one I was able to put back on, but does anybody know what the purpose of the other baffle is?

The bolt on one is to prevent oil from going into the vacuum lines.  The one that is riveted on seems to just cover a void.  I've been told that it's purpose is to deflect oil back on the cams.  I've also read that it was just to suppress engine noise.  Is it necessary to put the other baffle back on.  I'll be taking the car to the track so not sure if that makes a difference.  I think it would be fine if it was just street driving.

I have no experience use a tap & die set, so I'd prefer not to put the baffle back on, but if I must then so be it.
