I wasnt sure how much I liked that all oil returning to the sump area from the rear of the engine had to make it through the baffle system. Thats why my top baffle plate doesnt even have rear coverage, I like the idea of that oil being able to roll right into the pickup area. But without some small cameras hiding in the pan to watch what is happening, its difficult to visualize all the circulation in your head. I figured that a conservative baffle system for some protection in rapid lateral changes would be a safer approach than trying to manage and control every last drop of oil in a basic wet sump system.
