Hi Bob,<div class="">Makes sense on the Chevy. I’d argue that the crank is so far above the oil level in the TR4 pan, that it probably doesn’t make a difference in this application, but I have no science to back up my wild claims!!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Dave G<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS" target="_blank" class="">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br class=""><br class=""><p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(113,95,250);padding-top:15px;margin-top:0px" class="">On Tuesday, June 15, 2021, 4:48 PM, Bob Kramer <<a href="mailto:rkramer56@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">rkramer56@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote class=""><div id="gmail-m_6419092884898560334yiv4814382114" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">I caught an episode of Engine Masters on the tube. They had a big block Chevy engine where they tested a Miloden and a Moroso oil pan. One of the pans was a cheap aftermarket with baffles. and the other a high tech job with a 2 part tank, extra width, engineering screens and the like. Neither had a crank scraper. They were able to gain HP by dropping the oil level to 5.5 quarts (no accusump). They played with the oil level to try and correct a drop in oil pressure that occured near peak power. Oil pressure dropped like a rock and they speculated it was foaming the oil. In the end the high tech pan versus the cheaper aftermarket pan added 27 HP if I remember correctly. <div class="">

Hi Tim,<div class=""><br clear="none" class=""></div><div class="">Not a problem at all; before installing an accusump, I would run mine 1/2 quart over to ensure constant pressure.
