Oil slosh
I'm low buck too. I started building a deep pan for my 360., by welding on a sump from one pan onto another pan that I had already cut a hole into for the pick-up I was gonna make..
Well I found out how bad my welding skills where real quick, as I couldn't make that pan not leak,lol. In the end I threw those two wasted pans away and ordered up a Milodon.,lol
Speaking of which
I cracked that pan in three places, during the very first Grass Rally-Cross I entered. They had a little earth berm on the return straight, I guess to keep the speed down.Crap I said, it's just a little berm. Well that little berm launched me into the air, and when the heavy end came down that Milodon was cracked.
Which I discovered as soon as I got back to the shop for inspection.lol.Well I spent hours trying to braze that pan up, then a week later,upon inspection, there it was seeping again. I suck at welding. I finally took it off and to a pro welder, who undid all my best efforts in just minutes, then closed her up. ...... mostly......lol.
I did fab up a nice belly-pan for any possible future events, cuz that was a chitload of fun, and I was of a mind to do that a lot. Alas that was a one-time event, as the organizers never repeated it. IIRC I was only mere seconds off the pace that day, running against prepared cars.
That berm killed a lot of FWDs, tearing off entire strut suspensions. I put my car on the alignment rack on the following Monday, cuz that really was a hard hit. But all was as it should be. After that day, I started hammering over speed bumps........hard ....especially when I see a tuner car crab-crawling over one at something like walking speed,lol. Bam! I hit it with the pipes screaming,and the tires howling, take that loser! lol.
Wait what was this post about again? Oh yeah,,slosh. Get a roadrace pan........and a belly pan to protect it. My pan barely hangs under the K, probably well under an inch, and sure enough I snagged it on that berm. Another thing I did after that event,was to raise the car up a half inch,lol.......low ain't everything.....
3Gs? , Heck I hit that in reverse every time I back out of the carport,lol Ok not really, but that is my normal, drive-it-around-town-nice shift-rpm,with a M/T. But as soon as she's warmed up, and I hit the hiway; I wanna hear those screaming pipes, and feel the jet-fighter acceleration. And I wanna test my rear main-seal. Daymn, that thing just won't stop leaking......Maybe I'll fix it one winter....., but I think I'll wait until the rings need changing......
