GA does not fly inverted; elevation changes are influencing mostly the air mixture. Just saying, not contradicting.

- cduzz 4y agoOld marine applications would use carburetors and often those carburetors weren't at all suited to changes in elevation. (Most of my knowledge is actually only of a specific family of Volvo / Penta pushrod engines) Probably airplanes, even in GA situations, are able to operate under negative Gs far more often that a typical marine application.... A person adapting such an engine would ideally think about oil pickup under such scenarios.
