Hey Everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Here's what I'm running 2258cc 10.5 to 1 compression 40 webers 494 web cam type 1 oil pump mocal oil cooler 25 row mocal sandwich w/thermostat adapter accusump 2 quart Brad Penn Air-cooled oil 15-50 (5 1/2 quarts) Let me explain my set-up The oil cooler is a rear mount under the car on the passenger side rear. I made some duct work and its almost vertical to catch the most air as possible. Track conditions Sunny, low 80s, 30min sessions question 1) With that cooler I didn't expect to run in the 230f oil temps. Is 230f acceptable? question 2) I also have some oil on the top of the case /engine tin pooling. 1-2 side. It only happens under WOT. Any ideas? question 3) I never set-up an accusump and I don't like it so far. It over fills the case at shut-off. Do I have to much air in it (9lbs)? Other then my oil questions, I had a great time. Ran a 2:51. My new best time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Hey Shane,
I don't know much about Accusumps, but I have an idea about your oil pooling. Do you have head vents and a breather box? If so, check the connection from the hose at the head. FourBlades has vented heads and he popped one of the hoses off, spewing oil all over the place when we were at Sebring. Mostly at WOT though. |

I think its coming out of the dipstick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

I have 11 to 1 compression which caused positive pressure in the case resulting in the dipstick being pushed out and oil spraying from the tube. I use a rubber cap to close the tube when I am running. In addition I run a tangerine racing breather can. |
