What would be the result if the oil baffle plate under the intake manifold was left off on a W motor?
Oil out the road draft tube. If not using valve cove breathers, it is important to use the baffle plate under the intake. If using valve cover breathers, you can plug the road draft outlet.
Yep, and some of that crusty stuff could fall in the lifter valley.If you are still using the exhaust cross over, the oil splashing on the bottom of the intake where the exhaust flows through, will super heat the oil and bake it on the bottom of the intake.
