914World.com _ 914World Garage _ oil windage in heads

Posted by: ottox914 Dec 11 2006, 04:50 PM

I understand our 2.0's have a windage tray, and I understand the purpose relative to oil control. I was snooping around some old threads and came across this one:

Have a look at the photos- kinda wild the oil build up in the head.

Question is, is this build up due to the car being in a turn, and oil being forced into either the L or R head? ...or-

when driving in a straight line, at a steady speed, will the throw/rotation of the crank cause one head to load up with more oil than the other?

I thought I recall reading/hearing this would occur somewhere, but don't recall where, and was just curious.

i was under the understanding it was due to high rpm's....

and i believe those valve cover shots were taken on a stand... (no cornering?)
