425 and climbing steep hills

For the small engines, for those spending time at more than 25 degrees, why not plumb in a turbocharger pressure oiler on a timer to hit it every 30 seconds or so. 

Overfilling the sump seems easier. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

If we start working on that before the rotating thingy on the quick attach, the test pilot is gonna get angry. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Entertaining, ain't it. Over in the expensive green camp, they discuss silly things like having two tires on the back that are the same size. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Way too serious for me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Every Owners' Manual I have ever read always says "Do Not Overfill!"

Maybe Slick 50, which claims to coat the internal engine parts with Teflon, would protect the engine when oil isn't being supplied????
