oil pressure LOST, and then 24 hours later BACK

[Tom Wells]

Pete,

Just to reiterate, my Canton "road race" pan has the diagonal trap doors. It does not work at all. I can do the NASCAR "tire warming" zigzag maneuver on street tires and cause the oil pressure to drop...

I have set the pickup as specified. More than once.

I have met with Canton at the PRI show and quizzed their personnel endlessly. I conclude they have no data to support their claims, and worse, don't have a clue about how to fix the oil pressure loss!

It is a big block, so my experience may be irrelevant to yours.

I have also seen small block cars lose oil pressure at Sebring. Also mod motors etc etc. Dunno what pans they used, but they don't seem immune.

I have the idea that other factors are possibly more important. If I knew what they were, none of us would lose oil pressure LOL

I do conclude the way to go is Accusump at the least, and a dry sump as the ultimate.

Had to be said,

Tom
