AFAIK an oil pan baffle for the FA20 is not a strong recommendation and should be installed only if you actually have a problem.

I am in the process of adding an oil pressure/temp gauge.
I must soon remove the oil pan to resolve its RTV leak and thought this a good time to slip in a baffle plate. Perhaps, by the sounds of it I should just throw that coin into the track tire kitty.
More input welcome. Keep it coming.
