So, my transmission is on a truck somewhere between Sloatsburg NY and New Braunfels Texas...
Still waiting for a note from ERL (which they promise will be this week) so I can call and make the final payment on the motor and they will ship it. If we dont hear from them by close of business Friday, we have made the decision that we will not run the March Texas Mile. Registration is Sunday and I will not sign up if there is little to no possibility of having Brandi ready.... Corey still has a business to run to make a living...
The dry sump system from Dailey is on order. It's a multi stage system with a Peterson sump tank. The only component we thought about but couldn't get is the air oil seperator which would require moving the starter to the other side of the motor... We are not doing that...
Bill Dailey did comment that as fast as we run the mile (time wise) and the size of the reservoir, we wont have any issues with aereated oil going back into the motor... additionally, the reservoir will have a catch can with it that will help with any potential issues...
here are a couple of videos on how the dry sump system works.
Again, we wont be using the air / oil seperator but here is a video explaing how the system works.
Enjoy... we are rapidly approaching crunch time for the March running of the mile... I'll be looking for other events to run if the March Texas Mile doesn't work out...
below uis a representative image of the oil reservoir will will be running... This will most probably be mounted in the rear seat area behind the passenger seat... There is no back seat in Brandi and it will soon be walled off from the front seat area with sheet metal. Interior finish are a secondary concern right now... We'll attend to that after we get her all dialed in and running strong...
