Gear Shifting Theory

[Dave 53]

I had no idea there was more than one way to skin a dry sump cat. Love learning these new things.

No plans for a dry sump system on my car. Cost is a major issue. Cheaper than a new engine... I get it. But, with the Killer B parts and Arctangent oil control plate, I had over 25 track days and seemed to be doing okay. Until it wasn't. I'm not sure if a dry sump would have saved my engine when it did fail. I had oil pressure when it failed. I'm chocking that one up to user error and the discovery of substandard bearings (and valves). Overheating the engine probably played a part. Now I have a blinking water temp warning light and made huge improvements to radiator air flow. And a warning light that will blink for 15 seconds if oil pressure drops below about 10 psi for even a split second.

5.5 weeks into a "4 to 6 week" wait for the new The Driveshaft Shop axles. Hope they arrive soon so I can sign up for Oct. 9 at Thunderhill raceway.
