I, yanked my motor yestergay, tore it down to the case, I was doing a rering and head swap, well today, I couldn't help my self, I split the case, figured what the heck, and I remembered talk on here about tuna cans. I tried one once, didn't like it.
These baffles, help keep the oil from rushing from side to side during hard corning, they actually, direct oil to the pickup, I leave about an 1/4" space on the bottom and ends, to allow the oil level to equalize in the sump, when the motor is off to get an accurate dip shit reading. I have no pressure lose, during hard corning(i.e. green light when you go around a corner really fast). Just thought I'd share this, and to see what opinions are provoked. Attached image(s) |

James, I see that as being a running motor, then a revving motor.. the sea is all quiet in frame one, then like a perfect storm.
The amount at low rpm is what scares me the most. I have an idea, but I only have a basic understanding of the mechanics in there. Seems to me... David, you said the accusump is about 3qts? It dumps on start, is pressurized by the system during use, and a check valve just closes the spare oil in on stop, right? What if there was more than that 'thing' ^^^ up there... but all vertical faced surfaces.. kind of like a round cake cutter, for cutting a cake into 100 wedges... just so there is more vertical places for the oil to hang out in the case.. uhh.. anyways, a conical bottom profile, that coaxes the oil right where you want it? Maybe it's not the best spent resources.. I was just thinking that hanging oil would allow us to overfill even more than .5qt.. because the hanging oil is static, and not included in the pressure reading... untill you.. idle... and then.. you need a puke bottle... and ok, it's the dumbest idea ever! Nevermind. M |
