oil retention devices - Page 2

I promise never to blow up another engine....

Unless the egnine suffers some sort of unavoidable mechanical failure for which I am not personally responsible..... Like throwing a rod through the oil pan and side of the block again...it was an oil failure... not me...

Except for that I promise never to blow up another engine...

Yeah that should do it...

I think this is like making all the kids in your 2nd grade class come back after lunch and write sentences all afternooon as a punishment for a couple kids that were talking too loud in the lunchroom.

mannymen is my real name no kidding (Manny Menchaca)!!! I do use the Moroso steel motor mounts as well as a front motor plate. Al if you're ever at a D3 race stop by and say hi. You can also look at my car (3112) and diaper as long as you want. Take pictures of the diaper as I have yet to do it. I just don't want to get taken out by somebody who blows their motor spraying oil all over. It has taken me 8 long years to build this car and I don't want to take out anybody elses car either. I've already lost one rare car due to a motor letting go. If the diaper fits the way it's supposed to then there's a slim chance that it will get caught anywhere and if you have that much room that it does fall then what's the complaint about getting it to fit. If you have any questions with the diaper burning or using stock motor mounts then Dennis at DRE can answer all of your questions. The diapers have protected areas that prevent them from burning.

I'm out on this issue

As we speak I have applied with the Obama administration to get funding for the
development of new blowout proof run flat front tires for the guys who've hit the brakes so hard that they have blown front tires and caused an accident.There have been a few of those incidents,hence the need for the new tires.
Also in the works is a new spring bumper (as in Coney Island bumping car) allowing your car to bounce harmlessly off your opponent and or side walls of the track.More to come...

Mannymen is right, DRE can build a diaper or oil retention devise to fit any car. !966 chevy 2 nova with drag link through center of oil pan. Fits like a glove. Fathers car is a '72 camaro with a big block in it. Header clearance to the oil pan is very tight. DRE diaper fits great. I will admit, not many S/SS cars blow engines, but when they do it's not pretty. D2 race at Gainesville had a super stocker blow up. No diaper and hour and a half clean up. But I don't run S/SS so I don't know all of the possible combinations.
Just my 2 cents.

How much to build and install it???? I'm sure it's more than I want to spend!

Are we going to have to diaper the transmission and rear end too??? I've seen just as many broken transmissions and rear ends that have put fluid on the track as I have blown motors!!

Just curious as to the cost of an oil retention device? Plus what is everybody going to do....send their cars out and have a custom made diaper installed. It's not like this is going to be a one size fits all deal. Wonder how much that would cost? I'm not exactly thrilled about this proposed rule change.

Why worry about it....your dad spends his money and does all of the work on the stocker anyway....lol.

I don't know about the possibility of trays in stockers, but we use trays in my comp car and my partner's dragster.
