Smokes on hard right turns
I have a stock 12a with a stock oil pan and 106,000mi. I notice during autocrossing with long right hand sweepers my oil pressure drops and the engine exhaust smokes some. I run the oil at full factory level. I can solve the oil pressure drop with an Accusump. Is the oil smoke another issue altogether?

I dont know about the smoke, but you can help prevent the pressure drop with an oil pan baffle from Racing Beat.
|
The stock pan doesn't really cut it for hard turns. Weld in some baffles or get a baffled pan. You can spin a bearing in no time if you starve the engine of oil.
|
So the exhaust smoke is a result of oil not baffled in the stock pan flowing up into the engine on hard right turns and likely not another issue?
|
Quit making right turns!! for gods sake!! I just had to raz you a little I actually have no idea why that's happening but....My friends old CramArrow would pump out blue smoke for about 3-4 miles when on a road trip only doing this about every5-6k miles we took the engine apart rebuilt it and it still did it !! never did figure that one out ??! I do wish you luck on finding the answer and hopefully i'll see the answer gl with your car!!

In turbo rotary cars I have experienced smoking on hard right turns (under throttle) when the oil climbs the filler tube and blocks the path for the blow by gasses to get out leading to a pressurized crank case.
|
Can you run a vent tube on opposite side of the engine? Gasses will take the path of least resistance
