I watched my in truck video during the last pass I made, paying attention to the oil gauge. The pressure drops a lot, not slightly, by the time I'm at the end of the track so that is something I will have to resolve before I race again.
I installed a gate, made out of piano hinge, on the baffle. Maybe that is not allowing oil to flow as well back to the pickup. Will get a pan gasket set and check things out. Charlie. As long as the oil pan gate door swings to the back, you should be good in that regard. How many quarts of oil do you carry within the pan including what’s in the filter?

http://kuvia.1g.fi/kuvat/2016/FHRA/Spring+Nats/Final+Day/MOP_7479.jpgNo results today. Freeze plug popped during the mighty wheelie and water went under the left slick what caused wall hit. Jyrki is fine and front wheel bended under the dragster.

Glad everyone is in good health. Must have been a scary ride. The way that thing is launching now any little problem can become big! Do they make any special freeze plugs for big engines? Maybe some screw in plugs? Did a quick search on google and found that there are screw in freeze plugs for a lot of engines.

We founded that head gasket went again. So that wasnt normal water pressure damage. What caused that gasket failure second time in this weekend is mystery still. Maybe boost control is not fast enough to hold pressure still in raging launches or something.

I saw the picture but thought it was the gasket you blew earlier. So that was the problem. Certainly blew it out. I know nothing about the sort of boost you are running but its still a super fast Y-Block.

I know nothing about the sort of boost you are running but its still a super fast Y-Block. Target pressure is 29 psi and total cut off pressure for fuel and spark is 36 psi. We changed turbo screw/bleeding valve to electronic boost control in last winter, so there is lot of learning there. Rapid pressure rise and harder learning curve vs. Simplicity and bleeding boost pressure.
