beauies Member 209 Member For: 23y 5d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 09/12/07 10:59 AM Posted 09/12/07 10:59 AM Just wondering about two aluminium sumps I have at home FOR A XR6 TURBO.One has no baffle in it and the other has a oil baffle at the bottom of the sump.Oil seals are different on both, one with no baffle has single rubber seal over the main bearingsand the other with baffles has a continous seal around the sumpI know the one with the baffle is better but why have I got one without a baffle is it from a earlier or later model.The one with a baffle is a ba 03 model ANY IDEAS WHAT THE OTHER SUMP IS OFF?CHEERS
