The Slant Six was designed as a 170 cubic inch engine which then increased in size to 198 &
Today's high performance Slant Six has gone well beyond the power output and RPM limits the factory engineers worked with. As engine power output has increased, the mechanical limits and "weak links" of the design have shown themselves as failure points. The oil pump drive gear failure problem seen by many SL6 Racers and engine builders is an example of a design "weak spot" and also an example of how the Slant Six community has worked to understand and fix the problem.
