you should get an oil restrictor. is your oil line a AN-4 , that might allow too much oil volume. a restrictor could solve your issues. 98ctr

I took a stainless AN union welded the inside of it and then drill a .050 hole straight through the middle of it. 98ctr

from what I know, anything smaller then a full T4 should have an oil restrictor. But thats just what I heard and don't know if its 100% accurate. I do know that xs.engeniring tells everyone to use a oil restrictor if you are going to use a AN-4 oil line. 98ctr
