Josh, Can the windage tray can be used in conjunction with an oil pump baffle. My brother is planning on putting both of them on his '87 8V GTI. He has not taken the pan off yet...but it looks like the windage tray could interfere with the installation of the baffle onto the oil pump. This would make it a one or the other proposition....in which case he'll go with the oil pump baffle.

Instead of having a traditional oil pan gasket, the windage tray has a rubber gasket that seals up the block and pan. -josh --- "Hauptmann, Eric" <[email protected]> wrote: > josh, > > About the windage tray, you say it integrates with > the oil pan gasket but i > was wondering if it will cause the oil pan to be > "lower"?
