The 8V baffle and gaskets are much easier to fit. You might need shorter sump bolts though as its thinner.

From bottom up it goes Sump > gasket > Baffle plate > gasket > Block.

So you need the 2 seperate gaskets to go either side of the baffle plate to make it seal.

I've heard of people playing with doubling up sump gaskets when trying to get them to seal when leaking... might not be the case with yours.
