I understand the baffles and trap doors. Why so much oil in a wet sump motor?

Sorry Yankee, that's not something I'm willing to share. There is a TON of work on the inside of those pans. I will say that there are quite a few bulkheads with one way trap doors. However, the most important parts are the windage tray and scraper. There was a lot of attention paid to control the oil after it comes off the crank, as well as what is in the sump. It can be hard to control 14-15 qts of oil sloshing around in when the boat is in and out of the water. I've seen so many pans leak at the timing cover seal and the rear seal from oil sloshing in the pan.

Fair enough, but I will be calling when I get to the point of needing new pans.

BTW - that finished paint looks good.
