    Those of you who don't disassemble between rounds what do you use to evac the crankcase of moisture? I have seen leaf blowers vacuum cleaners ect. I have been thinking of putting a electric motor on a 4 vane moroso to see how it works anyone tried this before?
    Thanks

    I know a vacuum cleaner SUCKING the air out of the crankcase is NOT good.....The fuel fumes will ignite from the motor brushes and turn the air outlet into a jet engine. Ask me how I know LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Now I BLOW air into the valve cover thru the blow down tube and remove the other. A fellow racer blows his thru a cooler filled with ice first to speed up the cool down.

    I go old school. If the oil gets hot enough, I open the valve covers and flip them upside down and let the moisture evaporate while I check valves, and other routine maintenance. It does keep the oil runnable for much longer.

    Tiny blower motors

    go to wall mart. they have a 12v and a 120 v version in the camping department that you just put in the breather, and leave the other one off, and/or pull out the oil fill plug and it really shoves a lot of air out of the motor. works great. they are made for filling sleeping bags,and super cheap also.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-120V-Air-Pump-with-Hose/5634288
