Put a hydraulic filter strainer on the suction line in the pan and all your issues are solved.
Ran my milodon pump that way for 10yrs and the pump was like new inside.


you would not believe the amount of damage something like a broken lashcap can do to an engine if you're also running a windage tray. they chip away at your rods leaving potential stress points for a crack to develop into a break. Also broken rocker arms falling into the oil return holes tend to break cams & that in turn does other damage. Valley screens are worthwhile if you're a regular racer.
