sr20 crankcase baffle two unused bolts? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm putting my bottom end back together and I stuck at installing the baffle or baffles? I was good about labeling everything as I took it apart but I only have one baffle that bolts to the griddle and there are two unused tapped holes which concerns me. I'm fairly certain there is only one baffle but it's odd there are two unused taps so I want to confirm before I continue.

You're good, here something that should blow your mind,, if that's an s13 girdle? The vertical tapped hole in the middle of the baffle Is for mounting the s14 oil pickup. Hmmmm

Thanks, I was fairly confident and bolted the upper pan on already but I appreciate it being confirmed.

It is an s13 girdle, and I'm taking advantage of that fact by putting in an s14 pick up... but yeah it's odd that it is there in the first place

I searched the FSM but couldn't find the torque specs for the baffle bolts above so i tried to use the Oil pans specs and I don't want to risk snapping these. Does anyone know or can show me where its listed?
