I went racing at Beaver Springs today. I made my 1st pass, and they came to my pit and said I was putting down oil the whole way up the track. I checked my oil and I was down a quart. I drove about 2 hours, 95 miles one way to get there. On the way home I used less than 1/2 a quart. I won’t have time to fix it before the shootout and perhaps not this summer. I don’t mind adding oil while I’m driving. Is there someway of putting some kind of diaper on it while at the track? What kind of material would you use? Thanks for any help or ideas. By the way it would be the rear main seal. Dennis

To me, a quart every 200 miles is a serious leak

Yep.

That was Jerry C.. He kept a supply of them in his bus to keep the track officials happy

I talked to my machinist today to see who he could recommend without pulling the engine. I’d have to pull the engine to do it and I just don’t have time in the next month. I have a stress test this Friday, so I’m hoping everything goes well.
