RB30 pump bud! I dont think its the pump as i havnt had these issues before on pump fuel only since it went to E85. that was its first outing!

Hahaha! Already done that! i have -10 lines.
i've got 2 x dash 12's from rocker to sump and dash 10's from rocker cover to my mt franklin catch can... and I also have run pump and E85, and from what I can tell, I only ever get about 20ml of oil when im running 20ish psi holding revs and boost for extended perioids (like down the front and backstraights and drags at willowbank), but as soon as the boost is anywhere near 30psi... the bottle starts filling up pretty ***in quick....
I think it just comes down to the kinda boost the thing is running and for how long its pumping max oil into the top end of the engine... I wouldnt really see it as a problem. Just dispose of wat comes out and replenish with fresh ****, probably a good policy for the longevity of the bearings anyway
As for inside the rocker cover smelling like an ethanol plant... haha I often crack the lid and have a sniff... it's almost as good as nail polish haha..
Congrats on the time bro... best of luck for a 9 !!!

Yeah there is nothing worse than the constant thought of something not being right... But often it'll just be your mind playing games haha as long as the oil is fresh and it keeps loving 30+psi... Keep thrashing it...

mine does it too, except its a n/a bottom end and it has 25psi boost, loves boost and sounds perfect, but draining and degreasing engine bay is going on my nerves already, you guys recommend those bigger hoses and maybe 2 breather filters on a catch can ?
