How to Remove Oil Pan Baffle
Silly question but how do you remove the oil pan baffle.
Also how many people here use Glyptal?

Finally what kind of gasket remover do you guys use. Thanks.

Baffle is spot welded in place. Surgical Dremeling will remove it.

From: next to the polishing wheel!!!
Grind through the weld on the inside. I used glyptal when building older chevy motors . It worked very well .On some motorcycle motors I would polish the inside of the crank case for flow .

favorite gasket remover (snap on included): paint scraper or wire wheel on a bench grinder

those spray on gasket removers are useless

Thanks for all the advice,

All I have left is the motor surface, so I was a little worried about using a wire wheel.
