Given that it true - are you concerned that the chain will churn-up = oil into foam? Hi George, Yep, that would be my concern. I figure if the Renesis really does = run the oil an inch above the pan like Tracy once stated, and if the oil = sprocket/chain is essentially the same, then there should be no problem = running the oil that high. Obviously it would be better not to, but = it's one of those compromises I may have to make.

Hi=20 George,
 
Yep, that=20 would be my concern.  I figure if the Renesis really does run the = oil an=20 inch above the pan like Tracy once stated, and if the oil = sprocket/chain is=20 essentially the same, then there should be no problem running the oil = that=20 high.  Obviously it would be better not to, but it's one of those = compromises I may have to make.
