andycowuk 0 Posted March 9, 2004 I was wondering about how much difference, or how much benifit is to be had from the windage tray.... it will stop the crank shaft from slapping the oil on corners etc, but it this really only going to be an issue on the track with sticky stuff or could we all benifit from it? http://www.bahnbrenner.com/acatalog/G60_Oil_Pan.html I am trying to find supliers just now, that are not bbm cos they suck on postage.... is anyone else interested in one? maybe a small group buy?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 9, 2004 The benefit is more to do with preventing oil starvation on the crank journals and bores. It only takes 3 seconds of dry running a 16V journal to wear it down significantly. Which makes me wonder why the VR6 hasn't got a baffle....strange.

Isnt that the benefit as a result of the baffles, 'holding' the oil at the oilpump pickup; what function does the windage tray perform? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffydubbers 0 Posted March 9, 2004 i would be interested too, depending on price i am guessing really but does one stop oil starvation and the other prevent the oil getting sloshed around (technical speak :) ) and producing bubbles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 9, 2004 Plenty of information about windage trays on the web. Looks like they sit under the crank to collect oil and pass it back to the sump through louvres..... so sounds like it's for the reason in your first post.
