Hello All. I'm using one of Ben's aluminum dry sump tanks and am having some issues with the motor "wet-sumping" and flooding out my turbo.
I have a cracking valve in the oil return hose and I'm pretty sure the oil isn't coming in that way, but I'm wondering if it can come in through the scavenge side instead. I don't have a check valve in there because I assumed (yeah I know what happens when you assume) that the outlet was above the oil level and there would be no way for it to return that way. Is all I need a check valve on the scavenge line? Does Porsche have one there on it's stock dry-sump setup? I'm not running a Porsche engine but it is a dry sump. Thanks. |
