Re: oil retention devices

I'm a Super Gas car and my diaper fits great....but I bought it from DRE. The real tough part about my diaper is I have a Pontiac engine.

Mark if you want to see mine stop by on Sunday.

If you have one on a motor there are lots of places for water to go.
Put a bunch of marbles in a jar and it looks full.
You can add sand to it and it fills all the gaps and it again looks full.
You can then add water and and you will be surprised how much water will go into that same marble and sand filled jar.
It happened I can assure you.
It was comical and like I said you had to be there to appreciate it.

Your marbles, sand and water makes sense.
But you can not put 32 onces of a liquid in a 16 ounce container.

Y'all are right we should all be required to buy Health Insurance....

Oh, I'm sorry...wrong discussion.

I hope everyone understands that Art, the story was just to inject some fun in the thread about diapers. They will hold a lot of liquid as I witnessed.
Like I said I ran one in S/G before they were required in I believe 2007 or 2008 in S/G.
I bought mine from Summit in 2006 and not many made custom fit diapers at that time. Mine fits OK but I have a all tube frame car with lots of room as most S/G cars do. The story was about a all tube frame car and an off the shelf diaper.
My diaper is built like a box without a top of material. I had to sew it up in the back to keep it out of the flywheel.
It is flat on the bottom all the way to the front balancer so it does not actually fit like a glove around the pan sump or block. There is lots of room to hold parts and liquid and I would think after seeing close to 10 not exactly 10 gallons poured into the radiator and I am sure some of it was in the radiator and some in the block also they will hold a lot of liquid.
My point was they do not leak and it was very funny to all of us after it was figured out. Like I said you needed to be there.
I was just trying to add a little comedy to the thread where everyone was just bashing the diaper. That was the point with the shorts in a wad.
A diaper is a safety item to me. My car runs 160+ MPH and I do not have a death wish so I ran one before they were required for S/G for safety just in case.
If everyone is so serious on the threads I will keep the funny stories for the racers at the track as most of the people I see there have a sense of humor especially in the evenings when bench racing.
Just My 2 Cents

Re: oil retention devices

No big deal, Rick
Just trying to get an education here.
What I was picturing was something that would fit a 69 Camaro BB, where all you can see is the oil pan sump (between the headers , cross member and the flywheel )
A diaper that small would have to be full of Shamwows to hold 4 qts of oil.
