Running 1-2 qts high can help quite a bit.
just for road racing right? 'cause that sounds like a Bad idea to me.

and just for a point of reference (Frank), if you put your hand over my engine (at low rpm's) like in the video, it would drench your hand in oil! :lol:
I always have to clean the passenger side of the engine and check the oil after valve adjustments, and I have gotten very quick at it!

Out of all the possible comparisons to be made, *that* was the one you went with? :lol:
When I was a teenager just getting into Slant-6 engines, I had a copy of this book.* It dealt almost exclusively with big-block Chev V8s, but Smokey Yunick was a hell of a teacher and storyteller, and there was all kinds of detailed information in the book—backed up with solid, rigourously scientific theory.


*Damn, look at those prices! I paid ordinary cover price for mine, and now I wonder if I still have it somewhere.
His daughter and or family is reprinting the Power Secrets book under the Carbon Press label and the price for admission is about $35-40. I bought one and learned well more than the price of admission. Very accessible information and sound reasoning and experience behind his beliefs.

At that rpm shown in video my windshield and fire wall would be covered in oil in about sixty seconds. I have to idle down to 500 or less rpm to keep from dumping a cup of oil on floor during a lashing. Even at that low rpm its a messy job setting lash.
