Default Re: What do you do with your dipper tray in oil pan

You could try gold plating the inside of the oil pan and splash tray.

The rods need oil quickly on start up, so I would advise not drilling the holes in the splash pan for dip lubricated rods. But for a pressure lubricated engine, where the rods are pressure lubricated, the holes in the tray are a good idea.
