Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Have something to share too, most of you might already know to do this....

Oil galley screen kit. For 15 bucks, great insurance. My partner spent 4K on a quick build during this last season (asphalt, oval, Modified). One of his downleg boosters fell off and got bent up or broken enough by the lifters/pushrods that it made it to his lower end and boom.
My brother-in-law was racing dirt modifieds and someone (had to be one of the spectators/lookieloos in the pit area) dumped a couple of drywall screws down his carb, they made it to his lower end also. A 1 hour period, while he was waiting to qualify, he left the car unattended with hood/air cleaner off.
I'm going to install these screens, some magnets in oil pan, and maybe fit a screen on the inside lip of my carb.
Wonder if there are chip warning systems out there, like the helecopters use in their gearboxes that we can use in out oil pan? Anyone know of these?
