Your graphic is good. This was what I was thinking I could see. Soooo when I did this I made sure that I had the old style swirl pots with big holes for them to protrude through where by the discharge was under the tray in the trapped volume with the pickup. This is a long time ago....I believe I thought this to be the best arrangment at the time. Return oil is feed directly into the trapped vol where the pick up sits.
I fail to see how the 997 returns are better returning oil on top??? Perhaps it's a deairation thing??
