I was wondering, what exactly is this crossover cover for? I got to thinking that my plate doesn't have the void in it like the factory one. It will still have the gasket under it so some fluid could flow but not nearly as unrestricted as it could with the factory cover. I noticed some people run an oil cooler off of this location so I can't help but think that all of the oil pumped by the pump is going through this small crossover. I dont want to introduce a huge restriction and burn up the motor.
