Like most of you know, the 250sx is a wheelie machine from the factory, but mine has a 350x front end and 22 inch rear tires so the front end is always in the air. I was just wondering if the oil will still get to all the places it needs to when the engine is angled back real far?

NOPE!!!! The oil pump is in the forward part of the tranny and when you wheelie, the oil sloshes to the back starving the oil pump. The first place the oil goes coming out of the pump is the head and CAM journals so you can guess what the result will be.

Alright thanks, I'll try to keep it on the ground
