Yes, those were some of the best results from 65/70 mph So Cal Summer "Standard Day" tests. One run we put a thermocouple in the drain plug and saw a 50 degree difference...our conclusion for that outlier was that's probably the case for drain plugs on any Corvair pan. In all cases the oil temp was lower with the cast pan, not always 30-40 degrees. Re: Moore Oil Pan - market survey Posted by:

() Date: June 15, 2022 08:33PM To give people a sense of what a good deal the Moore pan is over an OTTO pan is, for the OTTO pan to achieve approximately the same results with oil cooling, the oil pick up has to be as far away from the bottom of the pan as with the Moore pan. This doesnt happen unless you mod the stock oil pickup or buy the Otto "long" pickup. The other way is to put a humongous oil cooler on. ------------------------------------ Kevin Nash Friday Harbor Washington 63 Spyder, Daily driver, EFI read about my project here: [corvaircenter.com] first test start on EFI here:[www.youtube.com] first official EFI boost test here:[www.youtube.com] My new fan!

If you're questioning the "100 degree turbo thing", I commented about that a few posts back; I think AmVair took a few liberties with the performance data. "100 degrees on turbo engines"? I know of no testing on turbo engines and do not believe that a 100 degree drop in oil temp would be possible. AmVair was a reseller. 50 pans were produced Edited 1 time(s).

() Date: June 16, 2022 03:34PM How much oil capacity increase does the Moore pan provide? Any idea how a Cragar pan compares to Moore or O.P. or Clarks for dropping oil temps?

() Date: June 18, 2022 06:55AM Jerry, thank you for the research into reproducing "The Pan" 30, 40, maybe even 50 degree cooling is too good to pass up. Plus, better clearance with this pan over other cast aluminum pans. I'm in for one.
