Ditto, thanks Steve. Very helpful.
I recently replaced my oil tank with one of Emil's. He installed it but I afterward changed the oil/filter myself. The new system requires 4-quarts, "probably less, maybe 3.5". I had to estimate and slightly overfilled. Pretty sure the system was first drained completely but who knows. Still, it was disconcerting to see the oil level (in the tubular site gauge) disappear into a dry sump. I was afraid to even start the engine. Sure enough, within seconds the oil returned to the tank. But there was a bit of an oil leak and blow out from the new tanks' vent. Oil had drained from an overflow tube that Emil presumably installed for this purpose but connected to wear? A couple starts and short runs later and everything seems sorted and happy again. Oil still drains into the sump after a week or two and I guess always has.
Between the oil cooler and the new tank and fuel pressure system installed together, I think I'm done. Although coincidentally, after installing the fuel pressure system, my OE fuel pump died (2600 mile). I replaced it with the Warbro unit and all is good!
Thanks again for the expertise and insights offered here.
