You don't. There's an internal baffle

a plate with holes in it IS the baffle. you don't baffle a hole, the holes make the baffle so to speak.

 

 

oh ok thanks so i just drill and put the fiitting on then?

 

Get some sheet aluminum, and tack in a piece to prevent sloshing oil from jumping into the lines.

 

i had a response typed up, and decided to take it down, because its so stupid easy to figure something out for a baffle.

 

baffles are very complicated these days

on the back side there isnt. i will get heat from boostedjeff and turbo-charged for this, but i was thinking of 1" 90* angle aluminum strip.

or just use the front because it is baffled.

i know i am talking b series but it is an idea.
pm rota92 he has a vented d series valve cover.

I know now that the original poster is talking about D series, but are you saying that there's no baffle on the rear of B series? The stock valve cover vent is underneath the baffle. I posted a pic in another recent thread.

 

If you're going to weld the tubes in, then tack a sheet of aluminum on there while you're at it. Holes drilled near the ends, edges curled up - and ample clearance between it and the valvetrain. If using a pipe fitting & bulkhead nut, you can add the sheet of alum in between the nut and head, then bend as needed. Rivets would look kinda crappy, but would work fine.

All you need is something that blocks a direct path of exit for splashing oil, and preferably does not rub or rattle on anything.
