QUOTE(GeorgeRud @ Aug 2 2011, 07:20 PM)  Back when both the 914s and I were young, I used to run a lot of track events, and oil starvation was a real problem on long sweepers (turn one at IRP, turn 3 at Blackhawk, etc.), even with a deep sump. I would also agree with the idea of an Accusump - cheap insurance that's easy to install. What would be interesting would be to put a video camera on the Acccusump gauge to see when, during an event it emptied it contents into the motor. Might be happening a lot. |

confines oil better under side loading. keeps teh oil pick up wet while most of teh oil sloshes to one side in a hard corner.

it wasnt till I got into instructing alot that I noticed that OK was not really OK. the oil presure would flicker and twitch before the idiot light would come on. as a driver, we only have time to glance at teh gauge long enough to see it showed presure. it was starving, ya'll were just a little busy to notice
