It should sit at the Chicago Museum of Art next to the Bernini exhibit. Incredible piece of work.

George is a Master at machining Aluminum, it will be upsetting to see one of these with a "big curb rash" on it !!
Dual stage scavenge pump will only help not hurt. Oil that is remaining (after doing its job of lubricating the bearings and journals ect.) , outside of the Integrated Dry Sump does no good what so ever, and can even hurt the crankcase ventilation system (AOS) if it is too much..
No, the UIDS v2.2 is only 1 inch thick and will have more ground clearance than 2qt deep sumps. I calculate the volume will be about .7qts more than stock. There is plenty of oil in a stock M96 engine, the UIDS v2.2 will just do a better job of managing it.
Skip, not sure if this was covered, but will the UIDS leverage the stock plastic baffle or X51 type? Or is the design different so that piece will not be used?

No, the stock baffle and the X51 baffle both divide the sump into three sections, Left, Center, and Right. Both stock and X51 baffles try to keep the oil in the center where the pick-up is. For example on a right hand turn, the Center and Right sections of oil can be held around the center, and if no oil leaks out or gets past , 66.6% of the oil in the sump will be available near the pick-up.
On the UIDS v2.2 on a right hand turn,100% of the oil in the sump goes to the left side while the flow valve switches to the left pick-up, so 33.3% MORE OIL will be available for the pick-up. Also the pick-up will be at the deepest dept of oil where the most un-aerated oil is.

Thank you for the kind words but I'm definitely not a master or artist.
I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to last weekend due to my work computer needing some repairs that took longer than expected. I still managed to complete most of the valve body block and test fit it in the sump. It needed a little extra clearance after initial fitting. I still need to machine the features where the valves will sit.
IMHO George is being very modest, in my 45 years of being a Technician and Racer , I have had many custom parts made ,custom pistons , custom rods, custom cams, ( by Arias, Competition Cams) for engines that no "off-the-self "parts were available in my specs, or for what I wanted to do , so they had to be "created"...., and much machine work by local machine shops ( Speed Engineering , Hamner Performance, Howton Performance and many others) and can say his work is Top Notch.
I mean just look at it...

Newbie question why not add a little more depth for a quart more oil for flow
again I’m no engineer just curious
Mike
Because ground clearance is critical...
You can always use the readily available "deep sump spacers" to add more oil capacity if desired....They are available in various thicknesses /capacities..

Skip, if we do use a spacer, would anything need to change or be adapted?
