Got a HSR yesterday, looking over the base I was thinking the runners are exposed to hot splash. Is there a chevy oil pan gasket made similar to what you use for other engs? Anyone made one for their HSR? Did not come up with on using search.

Or does the retainer double as a splash guard? I use to working with non-roller blocks.

 

We don't have spash shields as you think of them. There are lifter valley baffles, such as the one made by Moroso.

Only one listed is for 18 deg heads and states:

* Cannot be used with roller lifters.

Look carefully. It says: Standard implies 23°.

You'd have to mock something up to use it with factory spider stuff. I've looked into it for a little bit, not long enough to actually figure something out.

 

Was hoping to find one molded with the 2 intake gaskets into one peice. Do appreciate the input though.
