I can't remember where I read it, and it was several years ago, but someone did a mod on their push rod tubes in an effort to keep the crankcase oil from sloshing into the heads on hard cornering. I think it had something to do with attaching the end of a Type I PR tube to the "case side" of a T4 tube which made it extend farther into the case. This supposedly prevented (to a certain extent) as much oil from entering the heads during a hard cornering, yet still allowed the heads to drain normally.

Anyone heard of, or done this?

Damn, the heads are full of oil anyway so to keep the oil pump wet we use a tuna can to trap the oil so it doesn't slosh away. I think the problem is getting the oil to drain back fast enough thru the pushrod tubes.
