Generally adjustment would not be required. When first lit the flame would be at maximum power but reduce as the oven heats up and the thermostat takes control.
Your description indicates the thermostat is not taking control - perhaps it wasn't installed correctly or it simply isn't working.
The flame is regulated by the thermostat you don't say if it's too high or too low. Suggest you buy an oven thermometer available for a few dollars at most homeware shops, compare the temperatures then you will see if the thermostat is working or not.
The original poster is asking if the size of the pilot flame can be adjusted because it is so big it can audibly be heard. His oven is working perfectly as he stated having replaced both the pilot assembly and the oven thermostat. So the question remains can the size of the pilot flame be adjusted? I am having the opposite problem with the pilot flame being too small so the gas valve opens but the gas will not ignite untill the volume of natural gas fills the chamber enough to be ignited by the pilot at which point flames can be seen shooting out from under the stove. I know the pilot flame can be adjusted for the stove burners it's reasonable to believe there is an adjustment for the oven pilot as well.
HI, To adjust the size of the flame, turn the orfice clockwise to make it smaller. you can also try and adjust the air shuttle on the burner. Are you trying to change from natural to LP? Please let me know if I can assist you further.
You need to tighten down the orifice spud for the bake burner. Remove drawer in bottom of oven. Look for bottom of burner tube, where the shutter adjustment is. Right below it is the orifice spud. Usually a goldish color. Take 1/2 inch open end wrench and tighten until it stops. Do-not overtighten! Try it now. If flames are still to high, tighten a little more. Repeat if needed.
