Windage tray and oil pan

A windage tray is designed to keep oil from splashing up from the bottom of the pan and back onto the crank—, a condition that happens all too often in the rough conditions in racing. Here is a Canton windage tray bolted to new main bearing bolts supplied by Canton.

And the matching Canton road race oil pan. It holds 7 quarts and has kickouts on the side instead of just a deeper sump, this allows the engine to be placed lower in the chassis without ground clearance issues.

Here I am lifting up one of the one-way flaps built into the pan. They allow oil to move towards the pickup and not away from it.

Here is another picture of the hinged one-way flap-I'm impressed
