So, I took my sump to a smorgasbord of TIG welders today to get my baffle plate welded in, not one could do it on a Saturday obviously (grrrr), more worryingly; one stated that if the sump contains any decent amount of magnesium instead of mostly aluminium he may damage it by welding in the plate.

BS, or is it something I should worry about?

 

I dont even think the sump does contains any magnesium, I dont think many modern cars do.

Besides people have been welding/modifying the OEM sumps on here for years with no problems.

 

He's right on the magnesium
Pretty sure there is none in the sump though!

 

sorry off the topic but where can i get some baffles?

 

Thanks for echoing my thoughts, I'll go ahead and get it welded in.

And my baffles came from an American user called forged performance. pm him
