Need information on an engine part
can someone describe the function of the oil baffle (part # 6524)? there are 2 of theses parts in the engine just under the carb manifold that are attached by spring force to the oil galley tube.

There are a couple of holes under them if the baffles arenŽt there youŽll have more oil splashing around in the valvearea then wanted.

They help to control the flow of oil in the valve area. Without them you could find excessive oil consumption. There are a couple of slightly different designs from ford. Make sure to get the correct year and if they have the "F" stamped mount the F toward the front of the engine.
