Angelo, you have to use a diaper service. I've seen 'em on Law & Order. Check the Yellow Pages

Not possible for us either. We can't slide a piece of paper up against the block, let alone a diaper.

Can you imagine screwing with that thing every time you change the oil, or drain the block to pull a head? That's where I draw the line. Diapers=I'm done.

C'mon Ed - don't they have a trap door over the drain plug? Ya know... like what was on an old pair of pajamas from the 1920's?

Ang, I'm not old enough to remember the 1920s. I just look it. Do they have flaps/doors like that? I would deal with mufflers before diapers.

I had one on a 93 Camaro LT-1, Dennis (DRE) old car I bought from him.
Beautiful workmanship, had some kevlar where headers rubbed it. Absolute perfect fit, added about 5 minuteds to an oil change and was never in the way.
Besides the safety benefits and protecting track from 2 hours of downtime the diaper kept engine oil heat in the motor, that part I liked.

I am sure you can also fab one out of sheet alum, do it yourself if you have to with rivets and some straps to hold it on. I think they have to be 3" on sides and go from damper to rear of oil pan. Just a thought for guys with tight clearances.

Can you imagine what a beautiful 18-year-old girl's face looks like after a bad racetrack wreck where she lost the engine at 1000 feet with no diaper? I don't have to, she works at my local track and doesn't race anymore. Get serious, dude.

BTW, this was a 10-second 1/4 mile car, not anything "required" to have one.
