Ken,

Here is another thought-----

If we were talking about an air cooled engine, where the oil is the
total cooling feature, this would all be understandable.
But seeing as how we are talking about a liquid cooled engine, the
cooling factor shouldn't be as critical.

All engines have a percentage of foaming in the oil.

And I'm sure the guys who designed the engines took all this into
consideration.
Anyone ever thought that possibly the oil level was set so the cam would
run in it?

I believe in making a better mouse trap, but but trying to re-engineer
the cooling capabilities of a watterboxer, by running it low on oil,
just doesn't sound like my cup of tea, nor make one iota of sense.

Later,
