I withheld commenting on this as long as possible--I actually lost sleep over it last night. There are serious legal issues here, but with the evidence present, holy crud. In most parts of the United States, you can by a pretty darn nice house for $200k. That thing represents a serious lack of . . . patience.

It sounds like somebody didn't realize that baffling must be in place in valve covers, especially with a serious dry sump system; without baffling and a legit catch can and breather setup, you have a valve cover-based oil fountain. Not only is this a bottom level mechanical f-up, it's a massive safety hazard. We have guys here who work on oil rigs who've undoubtedly seen bad oil-related incidents (massive fires) first hand . . .

Air flow--somebody should have taken a look at the TA2 ducting system for the radiator setup . . . or a Corvette.

Best of luck in getting this sorted. Hopefully, it will serve as some sort of lesson/cautionary tale for those who wish they could pay for such a thing.
