You must vent to atmosphere otherwise all the air being pulled out of the engine has no where to go. Otto

Waitaminute, wasn't Jim asking about venting the engine/valve covers? It does seem apparent that the tank needs to be vented... Benn -- Original Message -- From: <Askotto@aol.com> To: <jimwebb@nutsra

The roots type scavage pump is the only way I have been able to see things done properly and they are available. All high end racing engines have used them for decades. Dave

The pumps are usually 3,4, or 5 stage. There is only one pressure stage all the others are devoted to savaging. The scavenge volume is always greater than the pressure volume. In addition, "most" ap

Many things that work well on a 1/4 mile, shouldn't be used at Bonneville. Two examples: Aluminum rods. The oil used in Pro Stock engines. It's a single grade 0W oil. not 0W-30, just 0W. Over the ye

I don't use aluminum rods in my B-ville engines but I know many who do. One reason I don't is I would want to cycle the out every 3 or 4 years... so a couple or 3 of sets of alloys would cost as much
