We have a catch tank(tizer bottle) on the bears sidecar and it’s the first time Iv ever seen one filled up this yearAlso, in all my years building and running racecars.
I never opened a drysump tank in use.
Only at rebuild time to clean.
The splittable tanks are a recent thing
Most historics run plain Alloy tanks.
And TBH, unless you’ve grenaded the engine, put it in the wash tank and run the degreaser through it for an hour and it’ll be fine.
Most of the time if you have a big blow up, everything gets junked.
New tank, lines, coolers etc
If it’s a £20-50k engine build why would you risk it for £4-500 worth of consumables ?
Only cars Iv ever worked on with dry sumps are Ferrari race cars
