mega problem here lol, put a new 8v sump gasket on the car about a month ago, started it up, and its knocking its **** of, taken the sump of, and the baffle has been hitting the arp bolts and rods, wtf is going on?? anyone had this before??:confused:

the baffle needs bending in certain points to clear, Iain had problems with it and posted up a bit of info on where etc
