[HTi]Johnson Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 EDIT: VErsion 2: I'm dumb. I get it. You might not have as much oil...maybe have an oil resivor? Like they do with VW bajas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 generally pan=stump yes, as long as you are picking up oil with the pump you should be fine (keep in mind, that you will need more oil for high rpms) - keep in mind, the bigger the stump, the cooler the oil as the other purpose of the stump is to cool the oil - my big concern would be that you may cook the oil in the engine - one who has done more with that than I would be needed to answer that question definatively, yes/no, but I would at the very least have an oil temp gauge installed - if you are shortening it a little I don't see a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 All I can think of is your oil might be a little hotter cause there is less of it, run an oil cooler to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
