The relief valve would be completely submerged in an over full situation, too much case pressure and it wouldn't work.Originally Posted by Ocean1
The info came from the mechanic on Nick Cole's superbike, Scott I think his name is. Kawasaki mechanic who has seen it many times, I'm gonna take his word for it.

i would guess that with the shallow sump and std oil quantity, the relief valve is below oil level - or underwater if you like...
that would raise the blowoff pressure quite a bit I'd think.
put the valve on a right angle elbow so it lies horizontal.....or on your next build, drill and tap into the passage from above.
Geeze drew, the ways you find to break things....

Now that I understand it, (thanks for confirming), it seems the sump needs to come off again fuck it all. The area under the valve doesn't have fuck all in the way of drainage. So level aside, it's always submerged once it has opened at all.
Fuck my fucking life!!!

Thats how our far superior GSXR engine has it, but it'd still be submerged

You seem to be doing well in that line yourself thanks....
If you're pulling the sump, have a look at simply putting the valve on a U bend to get it above the waterline. from memory, there should be room there. Quick and dirty....

I'm guessing the oil pump is driven off the back of the clutch like Suzukis have for decades....VERY hard to break that drive...
The big kawas use a smallish shaft and usually an Oldham type coupling which is easy to break.

Hmmm, we don't have access to the engineering shop at the moment. Al's work is closed up till nearly February.
FOR FUCK SAKES this fucking thing is starting to give me the fucking shits!

So the downstream side, the spring side of the valve isn't draining back to sump? Is a standard poppet valve?
Struggling to see how a high oil level can cause that, but I'm not familiar with the engine.
Not saying what my record is, but you're nowhere near it. You can sleep when you're dead.

What do you need? I have a bit of space, some machine tools.

I need to have another look at a standard sump. It could be that it doesn't normally drain out the bottom of the cup where the valve is suspended. If that's the case, (no pun intended) then we're still good to go and will make a U bend when we get back up here as a precaution.
Gonna be mounting that fucking oil light higher and more in the way as soon as we get the thing out of the truck though!

180 bend in a piece of tube, with I think about an M12fine thread tapped in one end, and cut onto the other.
