I surmise that the over full oil pan allowed the oil to slop up the left
side of the inside of the crankcase in that hard right turn, and spill out
the road tube. Possibly even squirting out under a bit of pressure, as the
motor does have some noticeable blowby. Right in front of my inside rear
tire, as the rear end was starting to kick out. I was able to repeat this
at will in a hard right turn in a parking lot at work later that day. Hard
right turn, rear end goes away, look for the oil on the surface.
Sooooo. . .another good reason not to overfill the oil. Maybe the manual
righters did know something afterall.... >>
Hello,
That's exactly why Kastner recommended modifying the tube and routing the
newly installed vent hose from the tube to a catch can in his Competition
Preparation Manual.
Even if the engine is not overfilled with oil, it will slosh up into (and out
of) the tube during hard right turns.
