Default Re: Holes drilled in dipper tray

They serve no valid purpose.

The holes in the dipper tray, cuts back considerably, the oil available to continually feed the dipper tray. Bad idea.

I think that it was one time, a write-in mechanics tip in some Tips, and Tricks Magazine.

If when building a Model T Speedster, it was recommended you put a 1/2 inch high dam in the back of the pan to raise the oil level to feed the rods more oil at high speeds, that does work very well.

My guess, it was done to cut back the oil splash under the pistons, there for cutting oil burning on wore out pistons, and rings.

But these holes, are going the wrong way, by dropping the oil level. Not Good, No warranty !
