Long rod motors?

with regard to a dry sump, once you start using one the crank doesn't have to plow through all the oil in pan since the scavenger pumps keep the oil level in the shallow (custom) pan very low. i would call that less parasitic drag.

i never mentioned anything about changing the crank.

Next time mention what you are talking about. You didn't mention anything about talking about the dry sump system. You can't expect us to read your mind.

The crank doesn't plow through oil in a normal wet sump either. The oil level is well below where the crank spins.
