Title: Oil pan compatibility
Post by: GTRS Fiero on February 16, 2020, 05:01:44 pm

Will the '88 crank clear the '85-'86 oil pan?  I'm thinking the crank will hit.

All the V6 pans are interchangeable if you use the correct timing cover.

In theory, but I read that there was an issue clearing the baffle for the crank.

The only baffle clearance issue that I know of is that when you use a 3.4 high volume oil pump, some of the baffle needs to be trimmed.  The only differences in the crankshafts is the reluctor wheel on the 88.  I would suspect it's actually smaller in diameter than the throw of the rod journals.
