---I disagree, only because from the image I looked at, there is an awfully
big ledge preventing the oil from draining back into the pan. Now, the image
is not that detailed and/or close up, so maybe, just maybe the sides are
slotted to allow oil to drain down the sides of the block and into the pan,
but I could not see that in the image. That is their business though, so
maybe* that has been covered in the design. I can't afford to test their
product though, then again, the oil I just pulled would have no problem
draining back into the pan regardless.

---Thanks for the part number. Would we be able to get that through
Intenational for the loadstars or what? I might be interested in something
that International themselves designed for their motors. I know at least
they would have put thought and consideration into it.

---Agreed., but a NOS part with the IH stamp in it would be nicer. :-D even
if the logo can't be seen, there has* to be some one the shelf somewhere.
