Default Re: What is the purpose of the baffle around the oil pump?

Kurt,
Your explanation helps. I'm trying to get my head around how shrouding the pump, which is immersed in oil, reduces oil consumption. You would think that with all the oil being splashed everywhere, especially underneath the pistons and on cylinder walls that it would be up to the rings to keep excess oil wiped away. At any rate, I suppose Ford engineers believed it would work, and so the shroud was added.
