Taylor cross drilled crank
"loose" rod bearings .0025" or looser
3/8th pan spacer + windage tray
GTS baffle
Improved breather routed to catch can (two on both sides)
new oil cooler in bumper, not radiator
Accusump with 55-60psi EPC valve with switch to prevent idle oil dump
Nooo! But you did so many good things! Did that crank get oil from a grooved thrust bearing?

BTW, I'm mounting my oil cooler now. Do you have any ideas? I was wondering about not putting it full face in front of the radiator so as not to hurt water temps. Is that a valid concern?

BTW2. Nice driving in that video! That one long turn looked tricky to master, you would wind up hitting the apex just right.
