What happens here
Inspect the original oil pan. The pan includes piston oil sprayers, which were not connected or utilized on the engine originally. The piston oil sprayers help keep piston temperatures down and prolong engine life, especially in extreme conditions like road racing. Modify the block and oil pan to properly plumb and connect the oil sprayers. Additionally, add an extra oil pickup for road racing, as the original pan was only set up for left-hand turns, which could starve the engine of oil during right-hand turns. This modification ensures consistent oil supply regardless of turn direction.
Goal: Ensure proper oiling and cooling for pistons, especially for road course use.
