Re: Dry sump oil viscosity

Seen this done with good success. Take the tank and have a 1" NPT bung welded in the bottom first few inch side wall and a 1/2" NPT bung welded a few inches down from your running oil level. Then purchase a 12 volt -300 watt fluid immersion heater (1" NPT) from Dermond for about $25 ...

Different filter media and area. Different bypass parts of cheap plastic. This is one example of you get what you pay for. See...

Re: PRI...who's going?

It figures that you can't give a straight answer.

Re: PRI...who's going?

Re: PRI...who's going?

Only slightly off-topic, but has anyone had any experience changing/swapping PRI registrations after the paperwork was done? Reason I ask is at a machinery show, a friend asked me to fill in for his partner who had a family emergency. The show organizers were absolute pricks about a simple change o...
