Frequently asked questions

What does the oil baffle do on the V8 engine?
This oil baffle sits over the rocker shaft on the Rover V8 petrol engine, deflecting and controlling the oil fed to the valve gear. It contains oil splash around the rocker arms and directs drain oil back toward the sump.
Where is the oil baffle located?
The baffle is located on top of the cylinder head, fitted over the rocker shaft assembly beneath the rocker cover. It's positioned between the rocker arms and the underside of the cam cover.
What happens if the oil baffle is missing or damaged?
A missing or damaged oil baffle typically lets oil splash unevenly across the rocker assembly, which can cause inconsistent lubrication of the valve gear and increased oil consumption from the cam cover breather. It's a low-cost part often overlooked during a rocker shaft rebuild.
