NASCAR ENGINE DRY SUMPs and CRANKCASE Vents
Hi everyone, I'm chasing some info....
My cobra basically is running a NASCAR Spec 351w. 4 stage dry sump with all the bells and whistles 13:5 comp bla bla..
What I'm curious about is my dry sump pulls substantial vacuum and yet it isn't fitted with a crankcase vent. It has a vent on teh DS Tank but essentially teh engine is sealed. So at high rpm (say 8500) what stops it sucking its guts in. (Gaskets etc)
I'm planning on fitting a Moroso Crankcase vent (+12) off the rocker cover and set inside a catch can to eliminate the potential for this to happen.
I also understand without this its bloody hard to get piston ring seated?
What do the NASCAR guys do?? Do they have a vent off teh rocker covers?
