The HKS Valve Cam Cover Baffle Plates for the Nissan RB26DETT are an essential upgrade for enthusiasts looking to optimize engine reliability and efficiency. Designed with multiple and alternating metal punching, these baffle plates effectively separate blow-by gases from oil mist, ensuring that oil remains within the engine rather than being lost through the crankcase ventilation system. By controlling oil flow, these plates help prevent engine seizure due to low oil levels and reduce overall oil consumption, which is particularly valuable for high-performance or track-driven RB26DETT engines.
Installation of the HKS baffle plates may require minor modifications, but the benefits are substantial. The plates redirect oil that would otherwise flow into the blow-by gas outlet, sending it back into the engine through a precisely engineered notch next to the metal punching. This not only maintains optimal lubrication but also keeps the engine cleaner and more efficient. For those looking to maintain or restore factory specifications, the OEM Nissan mesh filter can still be used in conjunction with these baffle plates, and replacement Nissan genuine parts (11037 21001) are available if a brand-new component is required.
HKS has engineered these cam cover baffle plates to provide a simple yet highly effective solution for controlling oil mist and blow-by in the RB26DETT, helping your engine run smoother, cleaner, and more reliably. By improving oil management and reducing unnecessary oil loss, these plates contribute to the longevity and performance of one of Nissan’s most iconic high-performance engines.
