Hi Alistair.

Yes! I recall you had those pages. Of late, had looked for them but got the
dreaded 404 "page not found". Not a problem though!

As far as I know, my 15º ABA does not have a windage tray. I installed one
on my pending 50º ABA swap modding it slightly so it can be removed,
installed over the diesel oil pickup tube. Very little material was
removed. I doubt the integrity (structure) is negatively affected.

I'm quite sure switching to synthetic oil has reduced oil consumption at
freeway speeds.

Don: have you noticed any oil in your intake?
