the thinking is reduce the amount of vacuum drawn in order to reduce strain on the aos and reduce oil ingestion during high-g cornering. |
When you reduce the vacuum pulled, you open up another can of worms: ring seal problems. Like most modern engines, the M96/97 uses very low tension rings on the pistons, the only way to get them maintain seal is to reduce the atmospheric pressure in the engine's sump (read pull a vacuum). The higher the vacuum level, the better the ring seal, reduce the vacuum and the ring seal deteriorates. Bad idea.
