Effectivement, tu n'es pas seul dans ce cas ...
Ci-dessous quelques échanges avec Dave Andrews :
------------------------
Q: It is the 4th case of a dissolving baffle that I have seen, non of them
have been as a result of mixed collant and oil AFAIK.
R:<i> 4 that have dissolved completely, I'd estimate another 20 that have broken
up enough to cause partial blockage of the oil pickup and resultant oil
delivery problems, in at least 3 cases big-end destruction.
When you look at where the foam fits in conjunction with the gasket and ally
plate , it seems to serve very little purpose.

Q: That IS a significant percentage. Do you have an opinion on the Hellier
baffle system?
R:<i> It looks like a classic baffling system which surrounds the pickup with one
way valves, my onyl reservation would be how quickly the oil can get to the
partitioned area and also its volume since the sump doesnt have a natural
'well'.

If you are not breaking parts ... You are not going fast enough.
