    The baffle plate and two thinner gaskets were a change to keep water & exhaust away from the lower crankshaft seal. If you had one without the plate, you were supposed to add it. OK, really, the plate didn’t prove to be much help. If you have it, I’d say use it. Don’t have one? Lots of guys just use two of the thin gaskets. Might be some different opinions on this.
