don't blow it up and dose it need to be corner'weighted as i have no means or the know how to do this . at this moment it time have not
had the nerve to go on a long drive as yet but getting there the most i have done at mo is about 50 miles round trip but would love to do more just

It needs a baffle plate between the sump and block then 200ml overfill of oil and you are good to go.

Is sounds like to me you need to get some miles under your belt!
If maintained your car would do 000s of miles fora round trip and plenty of tall days to boot.
Get your confidence up in the car and some miles in the past tense.
Great car and engine combo, enjoy.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Corner weighting helps, its not 100% essential, but an unbalanced car will give you some weird characteristics
Engine wise, fine as it is! mines a totally standard 919, no baffles etc (I fill the oil right to the top marker though) and my oil pressure gauge
shows fine even on long bends!
Other than problems I have caused myself and a throttle cable snapping, I haven't have any issues in mine at all and have covered a lot of
miles! 350miles in a day was done with no problems!
