He said during a dyno there was less than a pint in the pan. So it is still getting oil. "less than a pint" is your buffer...
We know the pickup is on the right side of the pan.
In a long right hand sweeper, that "Buffer" is zero, if we guess all the oil shoots over to the left side.
It should run fine on a dyno, as long as there is some oil in the pane to keep the recirculation going.

I tend to agree.... i usualy change gears close to 5000 rpms ( like everybody else here ... i guess) and it would be really darn close to that point.... there must be smth else... Anybody knows for how long was that engine running like that?
And by the way... anybody here ever run steady at 5-6000 rpms for like a minute or so? he should have changed the engine if this would be the case....
(or you probably do a couple of dynos and you're done.)
On the other hand i'm thinking... everybody knows there's a problem... and when smb comes and sais this is the problem... nobody believes him....
Good night guys... if you can...
