Wow...I'm wondering how much oil the light blue container holds!

Uber:

Looks good.

Mark will have you running up front with him, George B., Dale and Vic if it's one of his "specials". Did you get any quotes from Klub Sport, or ***? Also good [proven] engine builders... as I am sure you know.

Pedro:

Not sure if you are joking but ... that is the skid plate covering the add'l oil reservoir attached to bottom of motor. Have the same setup on my track 356.

Uber:

Vic S. is looking to or has created a skid plate with slats / grooves cut out for less weight, greater cooling and access to drain plug. Check it out.

Jason: I will check out Skirmants skid plate. Having to remove 8 bolts to get the current plate off, plus rmoving 8 more bolts to get the extended sump drain plate off is way too much work to drain the oil.

See you at VIR in Sept. BTW, engine was rebuilt after holing a piston at VIR in June.
