I did check the end play, I just didnt take pics of it.

On a side note, motor spins with one hand (no sparkplugs)

Good to see you here Ito

Did you make this (oil baffle), it looks thicker and better made than the one RB sells?

Yes I made it. It is thicker, but in no way its better made. The pic does not show it, but every edge looks like crap

Its 1/8" thick, I wanted it to be a baffle and at the same time, a reinforcement against flex.

On the outside of the pan, there´s an oil pan brace, of the same thickness.
