Dailey Engineering

What Dailey Engineering does

Dailey Engineering is a privately held, founder-owned precision engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Temecula, California, specializing in the design and production of custom dry sump oil systems for racing engines. The company was founded by Bill Dailey, a mechanical engineer with over 40 years of racing engine design experience spanning Electramotive Inc., Nissan Performance Technology Inc. (NPTI), Caldwell Development Inc. (where he led the Dodge Viper GTSR V-10 design), and General Atomics Aeronautical. Operations run from a 20,000 square foot facility equipped with 25 CNC mills and 6 CNC lathes, producing over 4,000 unique pump configurations and more than 200 dry sump oil pans across engine platforms including BMW, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Dodge/Chrysler, GM, Mitsubishi, and Subaru.

The product portfolio centers on three pump lines — the SP Series compact pump (introduced 2001, 2.4" x 2.7" body, 33% weight reduction vs. full-size pumps), the Standard Series with over 400 configurations, and the economy-positioned Classic Series for drag and sprint car applications — plus motorcycle-specific pumps and custom configurations for fuel, water, and torque converter pumping. Core technical differentiators include Roots Style aluminum scavenge rotors (up to 50% more volumetric capacity than steel gear pumps), the Signature Series integral pump-to-pan design that eliminates external A/N lines, modular three-piece oil pan designs, and integrated air/oil separators. All systems are constructed from billet 6061 T6 aluminum with precision ground alloy steel drive components.

Revenue is generated through direct sales of pumps, pans, and accessories to racing teams and engine builders, supplemented by per-stage rebuild and conversion services priced from $121.25 (1-stage) to $270.00 (8-stage). Distribution combines direct phone/email sales, an online product catalog on daileyengineering.com, and a network of authorized distributors including Robert Yates Racing Engines (NASCAR LS systems), drysumpsolutions.com, Sector 111 (Lotus), VRPerformance (Evo X), and Brown and Miller Racing Solutions. Customers span professional motorsports disciplines (NASCAR, V8 Supercar, desert racing, drag, endurance), Formula SAE collegiate teams, and high-performance vehicle owners.
