Get your sump modified with extra capacity and more importantly, baffles?


I agree with Matthew. Maybe not so much the extra capacity, but yes to the baffles. Craig who did your roll cage can modify your sump with baffles - he did mine as well.

Also, the 4A-GE used to suffer from oil surge problems due to the pump being too efficient, especially at high revs (which it was always doing). The top end of the engine used to fill up with oil and it couldn't drain back down to the sump quick enough, then the engine would spin bearings as a result. We fixed it by running extra external drain lines (one at the front of the engine and one at the back) from the head back down to the sump.

Cheap and easy to do for a man with your skills, and may save you some heartache.
