Oil Pan Baffel 3.4 ltr

[catmanluge]

I heard someone say that there is a different oil pan baffel for 3.4 engines MY 2000 and later. Does anyone have the part number of the updated engine baffel.

I keep haveing problems when in high "G" force cornering situations with oil smoke.

The latest baffle for all 3.4 and 3.6 liter engines is 997.107.243.00 Baffle -- US MSRP $35.57

I have an X51 oil baffle in my '04 986S 3.2L track car. http://www.suncoastparts.com/product//x51panAA.html

It is a straight change out.

Flat6 has a kit that changes the existing baffle, extends the pick ups. It makes sense, but involves some more work. I think Mantis has somehting similar too.

But I wonder if your issue is an overwhelmed AOS? If you are getting the smoke when you are standing on the throttle on exit, especially on left handers, that's classic AOS issue for the track. In my '04, I was able to fit a Porsche Motorsports AOS without modification. Not sure about 3.4 or the year of your 3.4. The AOS mounts differently on older cars - the mounts are on the side - with the newer version (and the motorsports version) it mounts through the base. I changed out to the motorsports version a few years ago, and haven't had any smoking since then.

The Jake/LNE kits add about 1/2 qt of oil capacity. Mantis kit adds 1.5 and is over 500 USD according to Ernie at Mantis, and IIRC you have to mod the X51 baffle.
