This info pertains to racers who use a T200,... not commonly used in bracket racing.

If ONE were to study the path of the fluid slung off of the direct drum and other internals, and passed through the pump and out the vent, ONE would see the problem. Those things weren't designed to spin at 7000 rpm.
Baffling the vent passage won't work because the direct spins both ways.

I have run the vent hose up to a nipple, brazed high up on the vent tube..That works fine but won't work with non OEM locking dipsticks (Yes, I said "dipsticks" in this post)

The easiest thing to do is move the vent to the rear , as was used on some of the early 200's .The boss is already there on the case.
Again , this info pertains to CLASS racers who happen to be following this thread.

Anyone needing "advising",, PM me... LOL
