my MIG welder also does lift TIG, but this process seems to generate a lot more heat, and thus more warpage.

I have a theory that the biggest problem with oiling systems is to get the oil back to...

Great! thanks

so the windage tray is 1.3 inches, and the pan is 4.5 so it leaves a clearance of 0.2 inches. I wonder how much of an impediment this is to oil returning to the pickup?

I've attached a sketch of the BBC pickup. It has a "salami" sliced tube end to increase the entrance area and to bring the tube end closer to the bottom of the pan.

Does the milodon have this?
