Bringing this back to the top as the engine is moving along and oil is a hot topic with Jim Robertson.
Some specifics we need help with:
1. The "stock" pump is the scavenging pump. What did they use to make it live? I assume high volume and not high pressure.
2. If the loop (filters, cooler, tank, high-pressure cam pump) is set up like the Gray Ghost or Junkyard Firebird, what size line? I assume larger so less pressure to blow the filters or cooler.
3. Thoughts on period-correct tank and elevation of tank in relationship to the back of the cam. I assume the main concern is that the tank does not drain into a parked engine but flows freely. Is the tolerance of the rotor gear enough to hold oil up in the tank.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experience.
