Dry Sump Bravos
I saw a thread in the Pantera forum with photos of a bravo that was converted to dry sump. XR upper with imco lower. The drive had a DPM decal on the side. Any info????

The DPM stands for Dick's Performance Marine and is operated by Mr Dick Tryce aka Mr Gadgets here on OSO.
The idea of the drive is to circulate the oil in the upper. The pump sucks the oil from the lower fitting and sprays it back in the top. I will use a 12x2" oil cooler and an oil filter to keep the oil clean of metal particles.

Looks like the story is out.. 
Thank You Tomas for the plug. The oil is actually taken from the lower and is returned to the teeth on the pinion gear in the upper, to help lube and cool the gears.

Hey Dick -
Great idea. I assume youve been getting some great life out of gears with this set up.
When you get a chance, email me at:

I'd like to ask you a few things.
Thank you,
Kirk
