Pro
Style oil recovery pouch |
| Because of the rotation of the crank,
the oil being thrown off it goes to the right side of
the pan. At high R.P.M.s this oil wants to bounce off
the side of the pan back into the crank. The oil being
thrown around in the crankcase creates a heavy atmosphere,
which the rotating assemble has to turn in. The
resistance of this atmosphere absorbs horsepower from
the engine. On our Pro-Style oil pans the right side
of the pan is moved out away from the crankshaft
creating an oil recovery pouch, where the oil coming
off the rotating assembly can collect and drain into
the sump. This design thins up the atmosphere in
the crankcase and frees up horsepower. |

|
Why plugs ? |
The main objective of a Pro-style oil
pan is to allow the oil coming off the rotating
assembly to get away from the crank. This is
accomplished by moving the side of the pan out,
giving the oil more room to escape. Since the
side of the pan is moved out from the inside of
the block mounting bolts to the outside, it becomes
necessary to bolt the pan to the block by going
through the pan. To accomplish this we install
access plugs in the bottom of our pans.
Some of our competitors use access tubes that run
through the pan and surround the mounting bolts.
While this may seem like a good idea, it defeats
the purpose of moving the side of the pan out.
The tubes interfere with the oil trying to escape
the rotating assembly and reduce the effectiveness
of the pan. |

Pro
Installation |
| To help installation we recommend
the use of one of our pan stud kits with
washer faced nuts. (flange nuts).Install the pan with
the engine in the upright position using a 1/4" drive
ratchet set. The washer faced nuts will sit flush at
the top of the socket making it easier to start the nut.
It is recommended that teflon tape be used on N.P.T.
plugs to help seal and allow for easy removal. |

Highs and lows |
| Too much oil in a wet sump oil pan causes
more problems than it ever solves. High oil levels
that put the oil above the windage tray allows oil
to be picked up by the rotating assembly. It then
becomes whipped up, foamed, and aerated. It also can be
thrown up onto the pistons where it will absorb heat. This
hot aerated oil will not hold pressure and as a result
cause pressure problems. The highs and lows of it are:
HIGH oil levels will result in HIGH oil temperatures
and LOW oil pressure. Aeration becomes most severe at
high r.p.m.s and the resulting drop in
oil pressure could give the impression that there is
not enough oil in the system, while there is too much. |

T Sumps
vs L Sumps |
| Our T styled sump oil pans are built to provide the oil
capacity needed by race engines in applications that
have cross-members or steering components located directly
under the engine. They tee out on both sides of the pan to
gain extra oil capacity and to provide ground clearance. The
L styled sump design was originally developed in the 80s for
sprint cars back when they were using wet sump oil pans. The
narrow sump configuration offers superior oil control by keeping
the oil more concentrated around the pickup. If your chassis
set-up and engine allows for it, these pans will deliver the best
oil control in circle track racing. Our aluminum versions of these
pans are very popular for Dirt and Asphalt Modifieds and in limited
sprint classes. |
