225 oil pan modifications

I'm not buying it. The crank hitting the oil in the pan turns it to foam and can end up starving the engine since the pump is designed to pump liquid, not aerated oil. The pump cannot and will not pump foam, I don't care who endorses it. That's my opinion and I'm stickin to it. I've never heard of such. Nitro cars? most of those have dry sump oiling to help keep oil OFF the crank. You can SEE the external belt driven oil pumps right on them. I've never heard of such.

I think he's referring to the old days. I didn't read this thread really close, so that may be redundant reply.

I saw that utg video too, it brought up a question, if the oil pan design is so out of whack that it causes failures why do the /6's run forever and are revered for their rock solid rep?

It all depends on what you're doing with it. Dead stock, they live forever. Add a 1k nitrous shot, and things will need to be changed to keep up!

For me, if I'm that worried about it, I'd make it a dry sump and be done with it.
