I'm surprised that anyone has had problems with their Canton.
Put me on that list...

Not so much for ground clearance, but for maintaining oil pressure during spirited cornering. Both my 385 series engines have them and both needed Accusumps installed to prevent loss of oil pressure while cornering. Even on the street a momentary loss of oil pressure can be induced by steering left-right quickly a few times!

This after checking the pickup clearance to be correct according to their recommendation.

BTW guess who makes the Accusump?

I asked the Canton folks once at PRI what data they had to show the pans were effective (their so-called road-race pans) and they said no data, just followed the practice of trap doors, scrapers etc...

When I asked whether they were going to improve them, they responded - no.

I'd do an Aviaid or Armando next time.

My .02,

Tom
