Oil control in a 20R/22R circle track
application is very critical in the heat of battle. Too many race motors
have self destructed when the oil is sloshed up on the right side of the
pan during turns. In those few seconds, the oil pick-up tube is starved
for oil and the pump will draw air. Air doesn't lube the motor very well
and stock oil pan configurations won't do the job.
To handle those extreme and demanding conditions, LC Engineering has
developed a pan with an extension of the bottom sump towards the right
side with baffles and a windage tray inside the pan to control oil from
sloshing. The oil pick-up tube has also been extended to reach the wider
and deeper sump.
The addition of a crankshaft oil scraper to remove the excess oil off of
the crank will also help with oil control and horsepower.
We will also be coming out with a new drag race oil pan in the near
future. Watch our newsletter for new products each month. |
