My opinion on this baffle plate may differ from many. While many will be warped when removed and be causing the cooling problems you are experiencing, that is not the way your problem began. IMHO. These motors have a history of many ways to over heat. It takes an overheat to warp the plate. Once that happens you are headed down a road to continued problems till everything is put right again. You don’t have many options but to straighten the plates now and reuse, but the overheat problem must be cured that caused the plate to warp,in the first place. It is kind of a catch 22! I have taken 32 cu in motors apart that don’t have warped plates. The cooling system has to be maintained on these motors. Not just an impeller!
