" have always wondered why the SVT is more prone to spinning bearings / eating engines than the non-SVT. A long while
back I wondered if the oil cooler add-on on the SVT might eat up some oil volume or hinder oil flow.
Any chance that tapping into the oil gallery for the supercharger may have a similar effect or am I just HOC? "
It's an interesting theory Scott. It does make sense. I think oil capacity is borderline in the Duratec and a little extra oil hung up in the SVT oil cooler or a supercharger may make the difference in either sustained high RPMs or long right turns or both. Either the Mirko pan (increased capacity) or the Accusump would address this. Got to get me one of these.
