Default oil pan / baffle

All,

wondering if anyone has advice on if upgrading the standard oil pan to something aftermarket eg: killab motosports is worth doing??

Or can recomend a good oil pan/baffle?

Running a oem 12mm pump on an ej22t

Hoping to try save the bottom end...

cheers

Steve

Steve,

Moroso do accumulators which I think is a much better alternative to upping the oil pan size.

The Killer B stuff is well made & good gear. Do you need it for normal driving? Probably not. Will it prevent bearing failure? Probably not, but that all depends on the reason for the bottom end failing. I am assuming when you say bottom end blew, you mean you did a big end?
