RCM Oil Sump Pan Baffle Plate (EJ20, EJ22, EJ25)

Oil control is a problem which can effect the Subaru's "Flat Four Boxer" engine design more than most due to its high crank case pressure and horizontal engine design.

When cornering at high speed the design of the Subaru engine means that oil can work its way out of the sump oil pan and flow across to the cylinder head castings, leaving a lower volume of oil behind surrounding the oil pick up pipe. The job of the oil pick up pipe is to suck oil up out of the oil sump pan and distribute it around your engines oil galleries (ensuring precious moving engine components are kept lubricated and cool at all times). If oil is not available to the pick up pipe then naturally many areas of the engine do not receive the precious lifeblood they need to survive, temperatures rise, metals expand and ultimately components fail.

FEATURES

• Helps to Reduces the chance of engine failure through oil starvation.

• The RCM Oil Sump Baffle Plate is supplied with fitting instructions and O ring for a comprehensive and simple installation.
• Designed for use on "closed deck block" engines along with the later semi and open deck variants.
