IAG Thursday Thing Ep. 28: Talking Shop with Jon Cooley from Flatirons Tuning!

This past Thursday I was the guest on the IAG Thursday Thing podcast.

I had a great conversation with Dewey and Warranty talking about Air Oil Separators and Dry Sumps, Crankcase Pressure, as well as the power of the Subaru Community.

Part of what sparked this conversation was our recent video we put up talking about "troubleshooting Why your AOS doesn't work".  It might seem that Dewey and I would be of fairly different opinions about Air Oil Separators, but that was not the case, and we talk through that in this Podcast.

In addition, we talk in pretty good detail about the transition point where you might want to switch from an Air Oil Separator to a Dry Sump Oiling system.

This is how the topic of crankcase pressure came up, and we also talk about how helpful that can be to monitor, and what looking at crankcase pressure can tell you about your engine and PC system.

Lots and lots of good information in this podcast!

Thanks for listening and thanks to Eric "Dewey" DeWitt for inviting me on the Podcast!
