We have a problem with the dry sump tank losing most of the oil during the race. I have never had an issue with any of the Sprint Cars I've had, but admit this is the first Midget Engine I've worked on. The engine ends up with 5 1/2 quarts in the pan and only like 2 in the tank. It acts like it's not scavaging enough out of the Engine. The pump, lines, tank are all new. There is no filters or blockage in the lines. It has (2) -12 lines from the pan to the pump and 1 -16 line back to the tank. We spoke to several competitors with the same type Engine and they said it's normal, really? I believe there will be a point where the Engine will starve for oil and do damage. I have attempted to call Gearte but never get an answer or call back. A local Engine builder told me to run (2) -12 lines back to the tank instead of 1 -16. Idk, but, I don't think this is normal and the Engine was built for one -16 back to the tank so, I'm at a loss. Any input would be appreciated.
