I agree :-) It would be cool if he has time :-)

PS - I just have to point out (pet peeve) extended sumps are not supposed to
be used to cool the oil down. They stop oil starvation on corners. They do
make the oil take longer to heat up (only because there is more of it) and
do cool it slightly (only because of the increase surface area of the sump
in the wind) I think a lot of people think they are there for cooling - I
was told a long time ago they aren't :-)

Hello all,

     Sounds like Shad is somewhat of an expert on the subject.
Maybe he could share with us the placement and installation methods he uses
on his engines.


2. What types of oil coolers or sumps are the most effective at reducing oil
temperature?
