[s-cars] RE: AAN Drysump

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

That would be the absolute worst place to look for more ponies, in fact I can't think of a worse place to throw dollars.  Knife edge the crank, get accusump wet sump resevoir, buy a dedicated track car.  All money better spent.  

There is a crank scraper found on all S cars already, and a pretty decent wet sump arrangement.  I haven't seen the symptom (spun rod and crank bearings) posted to even discuss the accusump resevoir, less the dry sump arrangement.
