Extending valve cover baffle. Thoughs?

i wonder if you could "address the problem" rather then band aid it
i mean, the oil pools there, but it shouldn't, right?

so, in a perfect world the oil would evacuate that corner and return to the sump, instead of being blown out the valve cover

perhaps you could make a oil gallery (or just widen an existing one, this MAY be covered in the "oiling mods" post i never read)


after all, oil pooling on the head is not available to the pump to do what it should?

might even be a good selling point if you can corporately do it

Interesting thought to somehow get the oil out of this "dead" area of the head...hmm... In my mopar experience, there's always excess oil in the rear of the passenger side head, and that oil is close to the baffle hole on most valve covers (ironically) It'd take a mind smarter than mine to re-cast heads with less of a pooling surface back there, or a better designed drain hole back into the valley. The oil up there isn't an insane amount...but it is enough to huff out the breather in the transition from zero, to 7000 rpm, back to zero, in a race engine with very little vacuum. If i'm understanding you correctly anyways.
