So as many of you know my 2056cc motor is getting an overhaul due to an oiling issue. I was originally thinking that I would:

* modify my tuna can to give it more volume
* finish my conversion to a single large vent at the chimney
* run a 30mm pump (vs. 26mm)
* baffle the case the way FAT does
* move my cooler to the front bumper

It's starting to seem like I would be spending close to the same amount as going the CB Performance dry sump direction. Think this is overkill for a 2056cc track/autocross car? I'm guessing it would cost me $600 total to relocate the cooler and go dry sump.

well i' not a aircooled specialist but I don't think there is such a thing as

overkill


when it comes to keeping a oil / aircooled engine temp regulated


but it sounds like you already know that from your current oiling issues

then again I urge all fellow teeners to do the mod's that require the

least radical changes i.e dry sump , but thats just the purist in me
