Without the oil controlled it can climb the rear of the oil pan into the spinning crankshaft and foamed (aerated) oil doesn't lubricate.....

Yep. Been fascinated by this subject for a while. Would love to be able to "see" inside the pan at rpm. Reher and Morrison ran an engine without a pan on the dyno once and I think they filmed it. Big mess, but great info I'm sure. Would love to see that footage. I think the grump also did this. I do know the grump had a two foot deep pan on his dyno...
