Is IJ doing the windage tray for you? I almost popped for IJ doing me a windage tray too but for a DD I figured I was pushing the wife a bit much.


Yep , they're doing the windage tray too. I have a pretty shallow custom sump and use a 3 qt accumulator. This worked fine with the 572 (4.5 x 4.5) motor with a modified stroker Milodon windage tray. The rod bolts hit the windage tray when we swapped it all over to the 655 so we ran all last season without one. We had oil pressure issues, dropping maybe 15 -20 psi to 30 psi when slowing down but the bearings seemed fine. I'd be happier running a windage tray and at the same time thought it would be a good idea to run a scraper on the 5 inch crank.


Are you willing to post some pics of the WT when you get it?? If not I understand. I'd like to see what he comes up with. Kevin is one of the smartest guys I have run into (not just about gearhead stuff either) so it's interesting to try and get my head around why he does what he does.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
