swirl pots

I thought that the main purpose of the swirl pots was to remove the air/foam from the oil to (de-aerate..?), allowing the oil to reach the pan ready to lubricate..

agreed. was interested in the difference between the swirl pots used on the 9x6 vs those used on the 9x7, as some folks are putting the 9x7 swirl pots on their cars. ie, why they are better and if they are a direct swap (most of the folks making the change appear to be doing it in conjunction with a deep sump install).

Some interesting reading from ye old days:

Good Question: Why did Porsche..

I feel like I need to drop my sump to see if my holes are big enough to actual ensure directt drainage down. One can see here where the tray and pots interfere.....the sump opening flange surface. The tray / flange surface appears to bisect the discharge nozzle diameters. Sadly I did not incorporate extenders.....will have to add them!
