While it's = probably not=20 ideal, would it hurt anything if I ran the oil level in the single rotor = (13B=20 REW parts) above the bottom of the engine a = bit?  I know there would be = some power=20 loss, and frothing from the chain being in the oil, but other than that, = is it a=20 significant problem?  
 
This all goes = along with my=20 poor man's dry sump system.  It would be a way to make sure = the drain=20 line stays submerged, and to supplement the 2.5 quart capacity of the = oil/water=20 cooler I'm using.
