Question for those of you who have dry-sumped your 4-cylinder cars.
What is the tank volume everyone's using and what are you doing to keep it from draining into the crank-case when the motor isn't running? Thanks Fred |

How is the case having no bypass/relief beneficial?

How is the case having no bypass/relief beneficial? A pressure limiting valve of some kind is needed. You don't really ever want the oil pressure to exceed 80 psi. Doug's is incorporated in his filter adapter. I use an adjustable unit made by Parker (fluid controls), screwed into the side of the crankcase. An external relief valve routes the excess oil back to the dry sump tank rather than back into the engine sump as the stock relief valve does. |
