The advantage of a fully fabricated oil pan is that the pan has been engineered and built with both fitment and performance in mind. Thicker pan rails with integral stroker notches built in, and often billet end caps are available to make the fitment and clearance characteristics ideal for high performance engines. If a fully fabricated oil pan has interference issues it is often an issue that falls outside the parameters of what the advertised application was. In most cases, block clearance occurs before oil pan clearance is required. Contact the Moroso Custom Department to speak about an application that will require a specific design revision. Fully fabricated oil pans are less likely to have dipstick provisions, OEM chassis clearance notches, and the use of all OEM bolt hole locations for mounting. These features will be stated in the description of the oil pan, or can be modified by contacting the Moroso Sales Department when ordering. One of the biggest weapons in oil-control technology is the trap-door baffle within an oil pan. Unlike static baffles, trap-door baffles open and close to allow almost unrestricted one-way fluid flow, while effectively limiting flow in the opposite direction. The baffle assemblies are arranged in a way that allows oil to move from non-pickup areas to the sump pickup area, through the use of baffle doors that have wire hinges that open approximately 1/3 of the way (so the door can close quickly without allowing too much oil to pass through).
