Dr. Kang,
I really consider it an insult to send a lengthy reply to your email
requesting assistance on your dry sump system, only to have your spam blocker
firewall me; lest I "beg" to be allowed into your system. Therefore, you can
write to me 'off-net' at my email address below, and if you get through MY
spam blocker, will send you what I wrote.

Subject: dry sump plumging?
I'm installing a dry sump system (still) and the location I've decided on is
in the passenger seat area w the lines running back to the engine (midengine
car). My question is does the tank return line have/reccomended to be level or
higher than the oil pump? the easiest way to pumb the return involves going
over part of the rear chassis then back down to the pump which would appear
like a sink trap-upside down "U". A more involved route would be through
middle of the chassis back to the pump which would only be a slight incline
run .
