Lower oil level means the moving parts like the crank don't have to swim through the thick oil any more a spin around easier allowing for more rpm's/power. Like the difference between you walking through air vs. water.
O.k. you thermal engineering types...why wouldn't adding a deep sump and an...
I appreciate all the responses to my querey, but some of you are missing my original point. I am looking for data/explantions as to whether adding a deep sump and extended pick-up to a stock engine WILL or WILL NOT lower engine/cylinder head temps.
I am not having trouble with engine temps. I...
Thanks PP,
I should have added that the engine is "splash" lub'ed by the crank with a very low volume pump which trickles oil to the cam, push rods and timing gears. No forced lubrication. No HV oil pump, no oil cooler (outside of a OEM or deep oil sump) and the galley ways have not been...
This is a motorcycle drive shaft. The output from the gear box has a sliding spline/rubber "doughnut" flex coupler; the opposite end of the drive shaft (input to the final drive) has a single cardan which is wedge pinned to the pinion gear of the final drive.
The flex coupler consists of a...
The question has to do with a stock 2 cylinder, horizontally oppossed 40 h.p. (max rpm 5600) air-cooled motorcycle engine that will not be used for racing.
The engine has a stock oil capacity of 2 quarts. If a deep sump and extended pick-up are installed allowing an additional 1 quart of oil...
