"Who cares if the oil gets back to the pan faster?" I don't know about you but I want my main/rod bearings lubricated as fast as the oil can get there.
I love my Fords but they do not have the best oiling system. That honor, I hate to admit, goes to Chevy....sad but true
I don't see you callingDEMON crazy for painting his lifter gally.
People use windage trays in their oil pans for better oil control but you don't have to use one. You see what I'm saying?
Every little bit helps.
I guess everytime you hear of someone blowing their engine you are going to say "You didn't paint your lifter gally..did you? It's probably why it blew up!! "
I'd also think twice about laughing at someone after their engine just blew uo too...for whatever caused it unless you have a magic crystal and can guarantee that you will never have car problems yourself for as long as you live.
FYI, I read that artical about painting lifter gallys in some performance book a while ago. Why the hell would they recommend doing that if it can cause damage?
I didn't pull that topic out of my ***hole.
