Anyone smell burnt oil after a hard run ? This can sometimes be from an underisable tune and the pistons getting too hot. The oil splash that hits this area will then get superheated.

I'm with you. Usually have Burt oil stains on the bottom of the pistons when detonation has happened.

No.

Most are set up this way:

Oil from pan to oil pump to remote filter to oil cooler back into block and then throught out it's journey thru block/crank/cam/etc....all to mostly drain back to pan and get beat up by crank/etc.

As SB said the only thing that fills the pan with oil is gravity and possibly right out of the oil pump but that's getting a little advanced for this reply.
