djr81 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am looking at the Mines & Reimax cam cover baffles for the RB26's. The thing I can quite get my head around is physically how large are they? Does anyone have some approx dimension - particularly for the Mines ones. The Reimax equivalents appear to be much shorter. Both are shown on the Greenline site if anyone is wondering where to look. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256610-cam-cover-baffles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mines ones are longer and need to be drilled to clear the cam cap studs if you keep the baffle caps on.

R.3.2.G.T.R Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 are these suitable for street or mainly track-oriented gear? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256610-cam-cover-baffles/#findComment-4421106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ^^ well a lot of track guys here are using the stock ones still. So you could maybe say track only, as a nice to have part, but not required.

ISL33P Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 a bit off topic, but are the tomei cam cap studs for the baffle caps longer than all the others ?

heslo Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Anyone able to give a quick run-down of how to install these puppies? I picked up a set this week but came with no instructions (I know there are ones posted above, however I don't read Japanese) Is it a simple straight swap affair or do some modifications need to be performed?

Moodles2 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm wondering, would it be overkill to use both the Mines triple flow baffle plates, and a oil/air seperator at the same time? I'm also wondering with the Mine's plates, oil purists here (not one myself, but hypothetically anyway); wouldn't you want the blowby oil that would normally come out the stock baffle plate to be caught by your oil catch can than a oil/air seperator or the triple flow baffle plates sending it back into the sump?

exXU1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Take em out , blank the breathers off and use a GZ vacuum pump , helps seal the rings better - reduces blow by -reduced and relieves crank case pressure - allows oil to drain out of the head quicker at higher rpm and increases hp - up to 50hp in some cases.Also helps keep oil cleaner if running a little rich in some areas. Good bank for buck. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256610-cam-cover-baffles/#findComment-4583408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good bank for buck. do you plumb the pump into the back welsh plug where you typically plumb the head drain into? what kind of vacuum figure would you aim for in the crankcase?
