Frequently Asked Questions
The 602172 baffle directs and controls the movement of oil around the rocker shaft to limit excessive splash inside the rocker assembly. This helps maintain steady lubrication to the rocker arms and valve gear and reduces the chance of oil being dispersed to other engine areas; it should be checked for damage or blockage during routine engine or valve-train inspections.
