I never ever once raced on the street.........Watched a bunch of it though! Ring seal? Less than 4% leakdown after a complete season. The best thing I ever did was to spend the big bucks on the very best components.Maintenance dropped to nearly zero. I only destroyed 1 engine in over 30 years. Had a few valve springs break and cause minor problems like dropped valves early on but after going to Ti valves and dropping spring pressures approx 40% that was the end of any failures of any kind. Kind of ironic but as my engines performance increased durability increased also.

I was thinking the only thing you could use it for since you did not hook them u is maybe for the data logging to gather EGT or AFR readings? I don't get it?

Ok you made your guess.It's pretty simple really. Once upon a time I burned a piston and pressurized the sealed engine.Blew out the valve cover gaskets,covered the headers in oil and quite a fireball came about.They're there just as a pressure relief valve. They hold vacumn but not pressure in the crankcase.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades eh?

Is it there to guarantee you never get any crankcase pressure at low rpm?

I finally got on a site and checked out the Mosebuillt two seat cars...... SWEET. I just pity you when you have to buy the transaxle that will hold up behind your 428" SBC>

I hope you don't get banned..... This site would have no spice without the Master and his $.02.

That is true also.

Yeah you can buy a decent house around here for what an albins costs!

Sorry, I got in the way.....Lucas oil sponsors 100 yard sand drags for top fuel....NuTz me thinks.........http://www.dragracingonline.com/spec...anddrag-1.html saw it on TV woooeeee!

Some of my SCCA buddies use vac pumps to help ring seal, never tried it but s pose to show up on the dyno. Guess the sump pump would do the same.
