| RE: Milodon Oil Pans |

I have used the Milodon pan for many years with good success. That does not mean that it is any better than your existing pan - it just means that is has worked for me. The baffles in the Milodon part are very minor. I also use a stock windage tray, modified to clear a Moroso pump pickup. I use a standard - not high volume - oil pump. There is no value in excessive oil pressure. As long as you keep bearing clearances between .0023-.0027, and use good machining practices you'll be OK (check lifter bore and cam bearing clearances - these engines are OLD). Your problem may have been pump to block or pickup to pump air leakaage. The stock drainbacks are adequate. I run 5W-30 Mobil 1.
Oh, by the way, the car has a 452 inch stroker with Edelbrock heads and a solid roller cam. Performance is 10.91@122 MPH, in a 3600+ pound '69 Torino. Its been running like this for over 8 years...no problems and hundreds of passes. |
