<VV> Finned oil pan/ valve covers brand?

[Rick Norris]

I like the Clarks pan as it adds a little oil capacity without hanging down
too far. It is strong and has internal fins. All of this is good on a race
car especially when you straddle the curb in a corner. Don't ask me how I
know that.

Best one is the one you like best!  For oil cooling effect they all have the
fins on the wrong side.  Cooling oil is not all that easy to do because it
develops a thermal barrier where it meets a cooler surface.  Oil cools best
when it runs thin along a surface slightly cooler than itself.  Soooo, the
fins are more decorative than effective.
