Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had my local indy shop install the Bilt Racing LN 2 quart deep sump with baffle on my 986. Now I want to transfer the deep sump kit to my Cayman which is the new track car.

I removed every bolt and separated the gasket, but the pan won't come off! It's like it is being held in place by the baffle. edit - i can wiggle the sump plate about 1/8" fore/aft and side to side, but it won't drop down. How do I remove the sump plate and the spacer?
As shown in the photos above, if you're trying to remove the sump plate first without separating the spacer from the block mating surface you're going to have a tough time. The baffle is bolted to the sump plate, through the anti-slosh tray, which is held in by the spacer. Separate the spacer from the block surface first and it should come right down.
those photos are exactly what I need! Thanks!
I can't drop it because the sump plate is bolted to the baffle, as shown.
the pry bars and rubber mallet won't work - if I keep prying I'll break the baffle.
So I need to loosen the spacer from the case and then it should all come loose.
When I installed mine, I noted the hard rubber strips on the edges of the X51 baffle were a snug fit against the inside of the engine case. They may offer some resistance when you try to wiggle the sump assembly down.
