Your welcome of course. The more detailed problems are most fun to respond to

Your fear of the notching being different in wet sump as opposed to DS is one of those things I really don't get (part of the 'overthinking')? I mean, you do know where the oil for the V-notches comes from right? How would this ever be different in a DS application? To me this is really one of those 'non-issues'

Sorry, I might be as stubborn as you sometimes can be.

Ah, I think you know me already haha!

I appreciate you are sharing your honest opinion with us, but again it’s just not enough.

Thanks! but I also don't feel the need to pursuade you of anything. In the end you will have to follow your own judgement, which is what these boards are helping us with greatly .
