Thanks Don. So far I can tell there is a problem seeing around the scoop when I stage. Think it needs a periscope.

Thanks Ray.
Mike I made a poorly designed oil pan. Lost oil pressure and toasted the bearings. Polished the crank and has new
bearings. I'm using a truck rear sump pan now. I will keep a real close eye on it the first few passes. Jim
