I bet all who change their own oil will for sure check the sump plug.
I changed mine last week and have no torque wrench. Now I'm going to buy a torque wrench.

I choose not to name names! At the end of the day it all came down to that sump plug. When racing you really should safety wire these critical components.

Holly c..p that motor was not just destroyed but butchered... such damage how could you just keep going when there was THAT amount of power loss??

wot was the motor in?if it was in a bike you would think they would have come of with all the oil on the road an wouldnt have done so much damage to the motor.it looks like it was on full revs for a long time after the oil was lost to do all that damage....wot racing was it camel ??

I have done similar in a 1/4 mile, except mine spat out the bits that were giving it a stomach ache and then continued to run fine on 3 cyls and had to turn the motor off , difference between a tempory oil supply issue and major permanant one still cost about the same .....

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun !
I would think for something like that a dry sump would be a necessity, the oil would be anywhere but in the bottom of the sump. ;)

Yep, a Superlite. Weighs all of 650kg. You get to use the power of the busa in these! Not like my Gen II, which can only be opened up "under controlled conditions", (e.g. when riding with Rev, Andcad and co ;)

Things are moving fast over here in Wait Awhile, I'm working with Jet, Fineline and a couple of other players to build our own dry sump kits. We should be able to turn out a quality product for a fraction of the price currently being asked for them by overseas suppliers. Aim is to get the sump thickness down to 1" and have capacity to feed turbos and coolers. Getting that oil back down from the head is still an issue though.
