Default Re: Oil pressure dropping on right turns

Hardtimes:
It had the dipper tray when I first had the engine built and yes, the problem did exist. Ora at Schwalms put 1/2" holes around the edges of the tray. With the trap door baffles I had to remove it. When I was racing my Lotus, I not only had to run a baffled pan but also had to run it 1 qt. over full. So, when I built this, I went all the way this time. The dippers on the rods were effectivly plugged with the full width insert bearings.
