oil pan

2004-11-22 by Meggsief@aol.com

Hey all,
            Ever notice when you drive hard through a corner the racket the 
pistons make? Is there an oil pan or gravity based pump that is available for 
the 1600 cortina engines. Have any of you guys ran into this if so how did you 
cure it besides over filling the oil. On a litter note.... I got into a bit of 
a race through some hairy corners with an old sedan Alfa. I killed him in the 
corners but his horse power kept closing up my lead, then of all things my 
throttle stuck wide open. The beautiful thing about an old car is that when you 
turn off the ignition you can still steer and brake. So I started the car up 
in 2nd quickly into 4th hit 65mph turn off car. Repeat sequnce all the way back 
home. Traffic lights and stop sighns were tricky though. All in all now that 
its back in my garage a funny experience!
