Thats good, i am getting real pissed at my 242. I took a turn so hard today that all 4 tires were screeching and sliding, onto an onramp..and the oil pressure went all the way to 0 for a second and came back. Not good!

It's actually a pretty common problem with the pan. I was even losing pressure in a straight line at WOT. I ended up having to pull out the windage tray/screen in the pan and put a moroso windage tray on the main caps. The built in windage tray just didn't cover up the sump area good enough.

GreenZLT1,

Got a chance to do anymore testing? Do you know if the pressure problem is fixed for certain?

Green,

Regarding the Moroso pan....

Did you have to remove your stock windage tray? Any issue with the longer main cap bolts that hold the stock windage tray?
