oiling questions

combo is new to me! Rodeck w AJ Olds heads,wet sump and Moroso Ext pump,my questions are what oil to use (weight,synthetic or conventional) pressures i should try for,System One or Oberg filter,Accumulator?or not,are drain back hoses VC to Pan needed?thanks guys,this is in a low budget quick bracket car,RPMs will be low (launch 4000 shift 7800?if that helps

 

c mon people give me your thoughts please

 

I run a wet sump BBC and use a Moroso billet gear rotor pump@115psi,accumulator with 60wt Valvoline or Penzoil with good luck in 150+ passes on that setup.I've never ran synthetic. I don't have much ground clearance and we an onboard starter so my oil pan is a little small so that's why we run a 3 quart accumulator.

We ran chevys for years mostly big chief KB olds.
12 qts of synethetic is mandatory. It will survive the foamy wetsump better. We use redline 60wt.
We ran a Titan pump, 3 qt accumulator on top of the 12 qts and closely restricted oil to the top.
-10 hoses returning from each head.
This might not all be required for 7800 rpm but it put us in the 3.90s at 2650lbs.

I still have the accumulator, brackets and a oberg filter for sale. 200 for all of it.

 

Jack,
New Century/Big Chief combo, we have a wet sump, external peterson pump,system one in line filter, run 110psi pressure with lucas 50wt racing oil, 16l in pan no accumulator, shift at 8800rpm traps at 9200 rpm no drain back tubes zero problems

I ran a 510ci Donovan with Big Chief heads. Wet sump , Titan pump , oil accumulator . 60wt Lucas , 120psi.

Very pleased with Lucas.

We used the System1 filter , and drain backs.

6.69 215mph in 2700lb door car

 

lucas/red line

is there anybody out there that offers some sort of deal on 5 gallon pails of 50wt ??or do I just bite the bullet and order from the Big Yellow Machine(Jegs)

 

Where are you based Jack?

 

Buy it from Jegs,
Call and ask for LUCAS Oil only, 50 or 60 wt will be perfect for your application.

Best value and best oil

You will not regret it.
