Were you looking to see if her undercarriage is better than the sauced stangs'?

Actually the chassis ain’t bad.... but anything that goes roundy round - pumps fluid - holds fluid - transfers energy or forward motion.... different story.

Oh! Similar to what I saw with the plastic replica.... was nothing but a tease.

The RIGHT sized dry sump tank installed.... This - along with proper plumbing and deleting the PCV system (idiots).... ought to actually have this system working correctly!

Mister “I’m a race car builder” put a 2 gallon tank on it — along with a PCV system.... LOL

WTF?! You know as well as me, you don't put 2 gallons in a 2 gallon tank, so you got like a 6/7 quart system...less than a stock LS7 by 2-3 quarts. Must be some of that secret sauce race car magic I don't understand.

So not enough oil, and what wasn't being puked out of the tank breather was being whipped to a frothy sauce because of the PCV air leak. I see now why the engine is killed.

I hear via the grape juice vine that being full of Secret Sauce can cost you your business.... We used to call Secret Sauce by another word that starts with S in the old days.

So...... What you’re saying is —— maybe —- just maybe —- running 4 banger dirt track midget cars doesn’t qualify you to be the “know it all” you made yourself out to be?? IS that the Secret of the sauce??? LOL

Several of you have commented on this, but someone educate me please...

Why don't you use a PCV system with a dry sump?

On TOW I don't run a true PCV, but I do have my valve covers plumbed to fresh air inside of the air cleaner. I also have an overflow / breather tank on the side of my oil tank. Oil should never get in there, but I do get some puffs of smoke out of it.

Am I doing something wrong here?
