Yeah that would probably be the most common way ,do you get much oil at the tank catch can?
I dont have mine up and running yet but i seen a post somewhere from JHH racing where the valve cover was run to scavenge and the crankcase had the breather,-16 or bigger, they dont pull vacuum

Omega Designs...
So far, the best solution I've seen is this:
The only problem is, you have to buy an aluminium block kit with it.
It comes with lightweight pulleys, crank ladder, rocker cover etc.
With dry sumps costing £4000 this is a snip at £11000.
Saves about 25kgs up front.

It is a billet block. It saves about 25kgs including everything that comes with the kit.
It's ok but I prefer the standard setup. It could do with a hydroelectric setup really.
There's no accounting for taste.

Is that a 63 or 64 block?
Im trying to figure this out in my head without having a system to look at, but what keeps the stock oil pump shaft lubed with this? Im guessing the billet housing is just redesigned and it just doesnt have a port to backfeed oil to the pan?

If you look closely at what would be the stock oil pump gear, it looks like its riding on a sealed ball bearing, like the other idler/tensioner pulleys for the timing belt.

Hey guys!
I am driv200's engine builder/mechanic, I have had so much fun with this dry sump install on his EVO IX RS 4G64 block.
I saw you all were wondering about the old stock oil pump...
the Magnus front cover completely does away with it and you run an idler where the pump use to be.. so no pickup tube and no baffle inside the oil pan(;
