Title: 127 981 oil baffle plate
Post by: daveott3 on September 11, 2021, 02:12:09
I am working on an early 230SL, engine # 127 981 10 002121, 4 main bearing engine.  There is a baffle plate that goes between the #1 and #2 main bearing, just below the oil pump and above the lower oil pan.  It has 3 bolts, 2 on the #1 main bearing cap, the 3rd bolts to the #2 main journal cap.  I am missing this plate.  Does anyone have one they would sell, or do I need it at all?  The only purpose I can see it either to strenghten the 4 main bearing engine, or absorb the harmonics a 4 main bearing inline 6 cylinder produces?  I can be reached at my email, or 303 656 6636.  Thanks for your help.
