rcx533 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does anyone know if the LT230 has any oil channels, directional grooves, or other mechanisms that won't work if it's run in reverse rotation? This is for an Ultra4 racer, part of the drivetrain will run in reverse as it's using a mix of donor parts and I wanted to know if I will encounter any oil lubrication issues.

Daan Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 There is no oil pump or anything else I can think of that would stop you running an lt 230 in reverse as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslandroverman Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 There's a chap in 'Merica on Pirate 4x4 who runs an LT230 in an Ultra 4 type car with a big ass V8 in the back. Seems to work well enough now he's sorted issues with the centre diff exploding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 interesting. you've got , me intrigued as to why you would need to run one in reverse, you're not rear engined are you? Hope to see you out on the track next year then. Me and a mate run a silver tomcat at the moment and I'm just wrapping up the design of a new from that we hope to complete in time for the start of the season.
