[snip] Some (if not all) of the advantages are less windage (horsepower loss due to the crankshaft flinging through the oil at high speed) lower engine installation because of the reduced overall height due to lack of engine sump. Bigger oil capacity from the external oil tank, reduced foaming and cooler oil for same reason. More consistent oil pressure and no worries from oil starvation during hard cornering. Disadvantages are mainly high cost. Did I miss anything? [snip] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yep, don't forget bulk. You've got to have room under the hood for the external oil tank to fit. Plus, with all those hoses running hither and yonder you have a greater chance of oil leaks. Still, if you can afford it, it's a great thing to have and a beauty to behold (all those stainless steel hoses, polished aluminum tanks and straps......) Ross D.
