Nothing like solving one problem only to create another thats 10X more critical for the rest of the engine.
Jake, I always go to the big knobs on a system. For windage I look at the crank/ piston/rod bearings as the main movers of air in the crankcase and for splashing/foaming oil. Add timing chains for splashing/foaming oil to the preceding and that's about it. Any other items appear to be second or third order effects. What am I missing?
