Hey Kevin,
Great information and makes total sense.
Oil windage and the finer points of the
oil pan have always been of interest to me. But not many of the pros have been able or chose not to elaborate beyond the basics. I know the
oil cloud vortex you mentioned can sometimes suck a fair amount of HP but always wondered what the oil was doing above the tray and scraper vs. no scraper.
Thank you for your insightful reply, John
