Re: oil pressure weirdness

well, I realize that it's oil starvation, but what I'm trying to 
say is that it wasn't doing it before and it does it now
on not very hard cornering.
The motor should not be seeing starvation with a full oil
load and moderate cornering.

A baffled oil pan is just too expensive, but I may go with
a windage tray soon.
