Oil will lower the octane of the fuel so it is good to keep out of the system. My valve covers have baffles for that. The heads and valleys are set up for good drainage so that isn't an issue. Has a windage tray also. The oil pan is the last weak link for this block. Should be good for the next one too, but I think an oil cooler would be a good addition. Adding another 100hp and 85# of torque might need a little more cooling. It gets warm now but not at the upper limit. The Cobra already has the opening for a cooler but I would want a thermostatically controlled oil cooler for those cool days here.
Rained yesterday, snowing today.
