So my '74 /6 conversion with the DWD sump tank is slowly leaking down into the engine sump. I have a leaking #6 rocker shaft that I'll have to R&R so I know my engine is full to at least to the exhaust rockers. I know it doesn't drain enough to do this if I drive at least weekly. I have a buddy who's well worn engine has hydrolocked a few times due to this.
I had to start and move the car, quite the smoke show. Only automatic cure I've seen so far is a $300 valve from Rothsport. Or I could just install a ball valve and red tag my dash for just over $20. I know it's a common 911 issue, do you other /6 owners have this issue and what do you do about it? |

I’m always hesitant to place anything in the oil feed line as it’s function of providing a good oil supply to the pump is critical. But I have had the car look like I’m fogging the neighborhood for mosquitos after sitting for an extended time.
