Inside one of our Honda K20 dry sump pans. This is where proper oil control starts. The pan uses four independent scavenge collection points, one for each big-end area, helping control the oil locally and reduce windage around the rotating assembly. Oil coming from the timing-chain area is also captured and separated rather than being allowed to fall directly back into the crankcase. Between the block and the dry sump pan we also fit an intermediate scraper plate. This further strips oil away from the crankshaft and helps prevent oil from being dragged around by the rotating assembly. The aim is simple: keep as much oil as possible away from the crank, reduce windage losses, reduce drag, and allow the crankshaft to spin as freely as possible while maintaining reliable oil scavenging under sustained motorsport use.
