1. If you are using Tracy's gear box it is a good idea
  to use the 3rd gen RX7 13B high capacity oil pump.

  2. If you are using a turbo make sure you have
  separate oil lines from the main oil gallery in
  the block going to both the turbo and Tracy's gear
  box. Do not run one line and T it to both the turbo
  and the gear box.

 Sounds ominous..  Hopefully Dave has a runnable airplane for racing.

 Good information though.

 Paul,

Did I miss Dave's posting describing the gearbox issue?

Mark S.

Not yet. Hopefully Dave will explain as soon as he gets
home. Also we will learn a bit more at the heat race tomorrow.

On another matter the oil pressure sender has been failing
every 20 hours or so. Larry Childs thinks it is because
it is not mounted on the firewall and connected to the block
with flex hose. Larry is Crew Chief on the unlimited Steadfast
400 MPH Yak and a long time rotor head.

Summit Racing has a large warehouse and retail store here in
Reno so we went down there and bought a old steam gage 200 psi
mechanical oil pressure gage and installed it.

Here are some pictures.

Opss forgot to include the pictures.
