convert the engine to dry sump is a hard job and expensive, but if it work well and save me the engine in the next race... it will be the best investiment I did in the car ( this is the third engine i am building in two years due oil problems, and thats it really expensive!)
Dilemmas...
how many litrs of oil I need to put into the engine for the first start?
will it be correct the size of pulleys I selected? 40-20 teeth
the oil pump shaft was cutted to one bearing to reduce the weight and frictions... will it fail?
now it have a Pautter rods and Wiseco 9:1 pistons with a 1,3 mm Wiseco MHG
static compresion is 9:1
new water passages on the block and on the head gasket
heater water lines removed
Brian crower 272 cams
crank scraper
I am building a new engine so no cams instaled yet

what it saying , the clean mark say its ok or not?
