The parts for the engine rebuild and flowing in. I'm going to post the interesting ones.

Now, is this interesting? Here's an oil pick-up off some sort of S4. I'll be removing the "cloverleaf" pick-up that's in the engine now. I like the later pick-up because it goes lower into the pan and has a screen over it.

The cloverleaf is an interesting design but I don't think it really works well. If the the seal between the tube and cloverleaf leaks air can get into the system. Also, once air gets under the lip it'll get sucked into the engine. Under track conditions, I think the edge gets exposed.

With the I-J windage kit, having the tube lower and with a screen is all it needs, anyways.
