["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To begin this response I would like to say that the AMC oiling system
doesn't really need fixing.......it works just fine for what it was designed
to do. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of AMC engines, with
very high street miles on them. Sure some, probably even a lot of them did
fail, but so do engines from all manufacturers. It only appears to manifest
itself as a problem if one desires to race AMC engines. So we need to modify
them just like all other manufactured engines need modifications for
sustained racing purposes.

Having said that........

Davis,

Now you got something there I really want to pick your brain over. If the
problem of AMC racing engines really is in the oil return from the heads,
what is your suggestion for solving that problem??

and what other horrid AMC oiling problems are there??  the lack of oil to
the rear mains, and sometimes into the distributor gears?
What else?
thanks,
Armand

> Ron, I konw I asked. We all have our opinions. I accept yours and have not
said you were wrong. I am the one that makes the more effecient oil pump for
the AMC v-8. I have not used any other oil mods outside of the new pump and
a deep sump Milodon pan. We have not had a bearing falure in the 16 or so
years we have been using the new pump. I do not road race but I do drive my
10 sec gremlin on the street as often as I can
>    Everyone has their own ideas and theorys on how to fix the amc oil
system. This is just our experience on what has worked for us.  I believe
90% of the problem stems from poor drain back from the heads.
