Here's another shot from the other side of the motor....

So with the Dry Sump Tank, and the Valve Covers Vented to the atmosphere and the Scavenge Line in the Valley of the Motor .... we were able to run the motor at 7800 RPM's hard all day long and not get oil in any of our Catch Can's .... Before ......every time we came off the track we had to dump our Catch Can's .... I know it's opposite of the thinking of today.... of pulling a vacuum on a motor.... but this has worked out well for us and we run a motor harder then anyone on this board.... One lap around a race track at speed is a challenge for any motor to to stay together.... and as long as it is built right and all of the systems function properly .... then it will perform as it should.

Hope this helps out.... it took us a while to figure it all out ... but that's the fun of it.... one big Challenge.
