So while the engine is out, I decided I should make the oiling system more
bullet proof and all around better.
To start things off, I got rid of my old generation res. and picked up a new ARE
res. with a fluidic top and a spintric deflector fitting. The new ARE tank also
allowed for a dip stick, which is always a plus!
Clearly the reason for the spintric deflector fitting, was because I also picked
up an ARE Spintric III Air/Oil seperator. Absolutely gorgeous item and
ridiculous quality. This should help keep the oil from getting aerated as
much and in turn, allow it to cool down better and last longer.
To follow that, I picked up a Peterson oil primer. This will allow me to
preprime/preoil the engine and allow it to Lord willing, last longer.
Last major item for the oiling is an Improved Racing inline thermostate. This
will allow it to bypass the cooler and get the engine up to temp faster. Im
also making the lines just long enough, so if need be, I can bypass the
thermostat.
I'll try to knock out another update shortly!
