RE: #4 and #8 smokes when the head fills up.
By Geoff McNew - 10/14/2003 2:29:31 AM; IP 66.52.140.90
Shoe, I'm glad you're still rooting for me...because the wifee stopped. Ha! I'll do a leak-down test, but I can't belive it's a ring either... hoping some as-yet-to-be designed & fabbed little oil restrictors, plus a new pair of oil seals (I'm gonna tear down the two #4 valves and "wiggle-test" the guides) will fix this.

Nonetheless, I am open to any more good ideas you might have on oiling. I didn't think this would become a problem when I started the car 3yrs ago, but as it looks, I'm gonna stick with this one and the car is slowly mutating from its current west coast Marin Co. road racer, 620# spring, metal bushing, Koni/Comp Engr. porsche-killer existence to a more legit and sedate vintage/Shelby club car...and I don't want it to smoke, or worse, spin a main while on the track for all to see.

I know a bit about pressurized oil bottles from USAC club cars, but never really saw any in use on the few FE's (cobra's). The SB 'Vette guys all used them. A dry dump is out, and like I explained, I don't see any more pan fitting between the crossmember, PS slave cyl., and the ground when I'm literally catching air from 45 to 65 MPH while burning thru 2nd and getting ready to slam the slotted SSBC's down hard.
This thread, so far...
