[snowborder714]

Any updates to the changes in design or anymore information Kevin? Just read a similar post on another site that sent me here.

Here is the final design for my aluminum VC plate and baffles. They are made with a tooth in slot design for maximum strength and to make locating the baffles easy . If you have any question let me know.

Do those tabs need to get welded or what?

Here you go, Kevin,

Please pm me a price. Thanks. Do those tabs need to get welded or what?

Yes, they'll need to be welded in, just as the original was. He just changed the mounting style to make it more accurate with the slot, instead of "place the foot in this hand-drawn outline".

Can someone enlighten me as to the purpose of the baffles? Im about to put a Hyundai 4g63 VC on and I cleaned it as best I could but if I could cut the baffles off and clean whatever is left under there, then leave them off and reinstall the VC, whats the downside to leaving them out? This is a DD car just FYI not a dragster

Their main purpose is to separate liquid oil from the crankcase gases in the top of the motor, and they may also play a role in oil distribution for the upper valve train; although I'm not sure how large an effect they really have on that.

I'm also not sure on how well Kevin's baffles will fit a Hyundai valve cover, as there are differences in the baffles. He based his design off of a Mitsubishi valve cover.

It works with both! I made sure of this. Esp. since I like the Hyundai valve cover better my self.

This is exactly what they do. They help decrease the oil that makes it to your catch can.

Thanks Craig.

Great to hear, Kevin!

Check out how crisp the cuts are with a laser table. It's amazing how tight they can get the tolerances compared to a plasma table. I'm happy.

This is not a thread to do classifieds in. Do not ask about availability or even post "Hey, sent you a PM". I expect to see either technical questions about them or pictures of them installed.

Cleaned up.

 

[MakeIt2BreakIt]

can you run it without the baffle just plain open

 

[greengoblin]

Brian,
Thanks for cleaning up the thread for
makeit2breakit I'm not sure what you're asking.

 

[zcoh2gdsm]

i think he means do you absolutely need the baffle once it's taken out.
